The feature, launching in preview next month for US users, will allow the AI to analyze both traditional wearable data (steps, heart rate, sleep patterns) and clinical medical information. The medical data integration includes lab results, current medications, and healthcare visit history. This information will be combined with existing Fitbit sensor data to provide what Google describes as more comprehensive and personalized health recommendations.https://aibriefcentral.com/2026/03/googles-gemini-ai-can-now-order-food-and-book-rides-for-you/Wed, 04 Mar 2026 11:11:40 +0000https://aibriefcentral.com/2026/03/googles-gemini-ai-can-now-order-food-and-book-rides-for-you/What Happened Google’s March 2026 Pixel Drop introduces what the company calls “agentic” capabilities to its Gemini AI assistant. This means Gemini can now work independently across multiple apps to complete complex tasks without constant user input. The feature currently works with select partner apps including Uber for ride-hailing and Grubhub for food delivery. When you ask Gemini to order dinner or book a ride, the AI assistant operates in the background while you continue using your phone for other activities.https://aibriefcentral.com/2026/02/google-absorbs-robotics-ai-unit-intrinsic-into-core-business/Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:34:18 +0000https://aibriefcentral.com/2026/02/google-absorbs-robotics-ai-unit-intrinsic-into-core-business/What Happened Google has officially absorbed Intrinsic, Alphabet’s artificial intelligence robotics division, back into the company’s main operations. Intrinsic had operated as an independent unit within Alphabet’s “Other Bets” division since 2021, alongside high-profile projects like self-driving car company Waymo and healthcare venture Verily. Intrinsic positions itself as creating an “Android-like layer for robotics” - software and tools designed to simplify the development of robot applications across different hardware platforms. The division focuses on making robotics programming more accessible, similar to how Android standardized smartphone app development.
