AI chatbots like Gemina are not only used to answer questions, they can also automate part of everyday tasks. Google's AI assistant can do things like check your calendar, keep up with the news, plan for the weekend, and manage emails on a schedule so you don't have to do it yourself every time. Also, subscribers to the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans can use Gemina Spark to access their inbox and calendar.

In the following, we will examine five ways to use Gemina's capabilities with the aim of automating daily tasks.

Gemini can help manage daily schedules. For example, you can ask this assistant to check your calendar every morning and calculate the approximate travel time between different appointments.

To set this up, you can give Gemina the following command:

"Every morning at 7:30, check my calendar events and use Google Maps to estimate the total time needed to commute and drive for the day. If there is less than 30 minutes between two appointments [or whatever time you want], warn me that I don't have enough time."

To use this feature, related applications, such as calendar and email, must be connected to Gemina.

Of course, you should note that Geminai may not include real-time traffic information in its calculations; Because it responds based on the information it has when producing the result. Therefore, it is better to check the desired route on Google Maps before leaving.

If you want to follow the news on a specific topic, you can ask Gemina to search the web at a certain time of day and give you a summary of the most important news on that topic. This feature is used both for following personal interests and for following work-related news.

For example, you can set a command like this:

"Every morning at 9:00 a.m., find the latest Apple news and recap the most important."

However, you can have a maximum of 10 scheduled tasks active at any one time. For this reason, it is better to allocate this capacity to more important searches. You will also receive a notification once the results are ready.

If you like to try new places to hang out and eat on the weekends, Gemina can help you plan.

For example, you can ask it to offer dinner suggestions every Thursday and Friday, or recommend a selection of different cafes and restaurants to visit on the weekend. If you give Gemina access to your location, this assistant can also search for places near you, and you don't need to specify your location every time to suggest nearby places.

To automate this process, you can use the following command:

"Every Wednesday morning, set up my weekend schedule with a variety of suggestions for cafes and restaurants to visit on the weekend."

There is one limitation, though: scheduled tasks while traveling do not use your current location, but rather the location you gave Gemina when you initially set up the task. Therefore, if you travel to another city, the offers may still be based on the previous location.

If you regularly give the same commands to Gemina to do the same tasks, you can use the Skills feature. This feature, which replaces Gems, allows you to define a set of instructions and reuse them in different conversations.

For example, let's say you produce a newsletter every week and you have to follow the brand identity guidelines and communication rules of the organization in all the content. Instead of writing all of these instructions into your message every time, you can create a skill that covers them all.

After defining the skill, it is enough to put it in the prompt when preparing the newsletter, so that Gemina will apply the specified instructions in the content creation. That way, you don't have to explain the brand rules from scratch every time.

According to Google's explanation, you can currently call the desired skill by entering a command in the form of /skillname in Gemina's dialog. Google has also announced that it will soon be possible to call skills using the @ symbol.

Gemini Spark is Google's always-on AI agent for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. This tool continues to work even when your phone and laptop are turned off.

For example, you can ask Spark to review emails received throughout the week and summarize the most important messages. The tool can also create a to-do list and automatically add identified appointments to your calendar. As a result, you don't need to manually check all emails and enter their information into the calendar to do these tasks.

To use these features, you must first connect Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive to Spark. These connections are disabled by default and you need to enable them from the settings section.

Google says Spark gets user approval before taking any important actions. Therefore, this tool is not supposed to suddenly delete emails or important files without your permission.
