TL;DR
- Google Play Store is rolling out an AI-powered app explorer in the US.
- It suggests categories like “Boost productivity” or “Protect my privacy” directly in the search tab.
- Selecting one opens an “Organized with AI” section grouping related apps by type.
Finding the right app in the Google Play Store can sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, but AI can actually be handy for this sort of thing. Google is now testing a new Gemini-powered way to simplify discovery, and it’s already rolling out for some US accounts.
Telegram user @blank94855 gave us a heads-up that version 47.9.30-31 of Google Play Services introduces an AI app explorer in the Play Store’s search tab. We’ve since confirmed the feature for ourselves on a US-based device.
