The topic Gemini app preps \u2018Proactive Assistance\u2019 and new Gemini voices<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s goal with Gemini is to build a personal, proactive, and powerful assistant. The final tentpole is the underlying model, while Personal Intelligence became free earlier this year. The Gemini app is now readying \u201cProactive Assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

About APK Insight: In this \u201cAPK Insight\u201d post, we\u2019ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we\u2019re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We\u2019ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they\u2019ll look in case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.<\/p>\n

The Google app 17.18 beta reveals the existence of \u201cProactive Assistance\u201d to \u201cGet personalized suggestions at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strings in this release describe the setup process. You will be able to \u201cChoose apps, like Gmail and Calendar, that Proactive Assistance can use for suggestions.\u201d Besides applications, Proactive Assistance can also use\u00a0\u201cwhat\u2019s on your screen\u201d and \u201cyour notifications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Awesome! These are major painpoints of Google AI right now. The voices sound a bit weird still and the phone is not adjusting to the user's infos on the screen well enough (on the Pixel 10. Also, please drop the exclusivity, Google…). So if they improve AI suggestions throughout the day and we get an assistant voice we really like to hear, then this would be a major plus point for Google. Only fix Gemini now and we are good to go for the next year.<\/p>\n

At I\/O 2025, Google gave the example of Gemini checking your Calendar and seeing that you have an upcoming test. The Gemini app then sends a notification that links to a practice quiz it generated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the \u201cYour Day\u201d proactive feed has been renamed to \u201cDaily brief.\u201d It\u2019s presumably one of the first manifestations of Proactive Assistance.<\/p>\n

Finally, we learn today that \u201cGemini\u2019s previous voice options are going away, so you won\u2019t see them here anymore.\u201d Google refers to them as the \u201cLegacy voices.\u201d Since launch, we\u2019ve had Ursa, Nova, Vega, Pegasus, Orion, Eclipse, Capella, Lyra, Dipper, and Orbit.<\/p>\n
