AI is the newest trend in the smartphone industry — well, that and tri-folding phones apparently — and Google wants to get everyone in on it. The company is granting developers access to Gemini Nano, its AI model that is capable of running on-device without an internet connection.
This access is currently limited to Pixel 9 phones, though more compatibility will be rolling out soon. Developers will be able to integrate Nano into their third party apps to supercharge them with AI. We could soon see most major apps on the Play Store come with AI support.
Nano’s integration is, as of now, very limited. Developers can only use it for the standard textual actions modern AI is known for like:
- Summarization
- Rephrasing
- Proofreading
- Smart replies
Google claims multi-modal use will soon follow as well, which means support for images, voice and perhaps even videos.
