It sounds awfully similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/documentation\/appintents\">the upgraded \u201capp intents\u201d<\/a> Apple supports in iOS 18, and it\u2019s exactly the kind of thing that could make AI assistants much more useful than they are in their current state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">A page on Google\u2019s developer site <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/reference\/android\/app\/appfunctions\/AppFunctionManager\">describes an app function<\/a> as \u201ca specific piece of functionality that an app offers to the system. These functionalities can be integrated into various system features.\u201d Really clears things up. But <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/reference\/android\/app\/appfunctions\/AppFunctionService#:~:text=a%20function%20to%20order%20food\">Rahman points to a specific example<\/a> buried in the documentation that sheds some more light. It details how an app developer could use app functions to expose certain actions to the system \u2014 in this case, ordering food. With this function available to Gemini, you might be able to place an order with your neighborhood Thai restaurant without having to open the DoorDash app. Kinda neat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Apple\u2019s working on a similar approach to a smarter assistant. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/28\/24279804\/apple-intelligence-ios-18-1-siri-ai\">One of its promises for the smarter Siri<\/a> we\u2019ll supposedly get in iOS 18 is that it will be able to take action in apps for you. By updating its app intents framework, Apple has created a way for developers to expose \u201corder food\u201d-type functions to Siri. <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/24\/07\/08\/siri-improved-with-apple-intelligence-wont-roll-out-until-2025\">According to rumors<\/a>, we probably won\u2019t see that update until spring of 2025, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\u201cDoing things for you\u201d was kind of the whole promise of smart assistants from the beginning, but that hasn\u2019t started materializing until very recently. Gemini <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/5\/14\/24155848\/google-ai-gemini-calendar-tasks-keep-io\">can access information in certain apps<\/a> with your permission, but currently it\u2019s mostly limited to searching things like Gmail and Google Maps. And Siri\u2019s biggest update in iOS 18 so far <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/25\/24278716\/siri-chat-gpt-ios-18-2-developer-beta-apple-intelligence\">added a ChatGPT extension<\/a> so you can ask more complicated questions, but it still falls short on \u201ctaking action.\u201d Now, both platforms appear to be laying the groundwork for better assistants \u2014 and 2025 could be a very interesting year for AI on smartphones. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/11\/22\/24303329\/google-gemini-android-16-app-functions\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google released the first Android 16 developer preview earlier this week and keen-eyed observers are already uncovering interesting tidbits, including one that hints about a much more useful future for &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=129028\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129028\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=129028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=129028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
