A shift from app-first task initiation to user prompts that trigger the AI to select and use the appropriate apps behind the scenes, reimagining how we start work.

Apps will still exist but operate more in the background, with the user experience centered on natural language prompts and AI-driven orchestration rather than manual app selection.

Chrome will gain AI features to organize information and assist with cross-site tasks, with Gemini acting as the central hub coordinating actions and decisions based on user requests.

Adaptive Everywhere will extend AI-assisted interactions beyond a single device, with the AI following and syncing user tasks across phone, laptop, car, and home screens so work can continue seamlessly.

Android 17 will introduce agentic automation, allowing users to request tasks and have the phone autonomously determine and execute the necessary steps across apps and services.

The approach emphasizes completing tasks through direct prompts rather than navigating multiple apps, enabling faster focus on outcomes while the device handles interstitial steps.

Google plans to announce at Google I/O that artificial intelligence will be the primary way people interact with their phones, embedding AI into core experiences across Android, Chrome, and Gemini.
