AI Taking Over Phones Takes a Key Step: Google Gemini Automation App List Exposed, 134 Apps Currently
IT之家 November 13 news, the tech media outlet Android Authority published a blog post yesterday (November 12), reporting that the list of apps compatible with Google Gemini's task automation feature has been exposed, totaling 134 apps, covering scenarios such as food delivery, ride-hailing, shopping, travel, and office work, but this does not mean that automated operation has been fully opened up for all of these apps.
IT之家, citing the blog post, explains that as of November 12, the target app list in the stable version of Android 17 QPR2 included 114 apps, while the Android Canary target app list, in addition to the aforementioned 114 apps, additionally covered 20 more apps.

In terms of operation, this feature enables Gemini to no longer merely provide answers or links, but to open apps in a virtual screen and complete operations such as searching, selecting products, and adding items to the cart on the user's behalf, stopping before checkout for the user to confirm payment. The report's testing shows that Gemini can select meals on the Indian food delivery platform Zomato, and can also purchase milk through Blinkit; Swiggy and Zepto, which are not on the list, were refused.
Whether an app can be operated first depends on whether it has entered the "whitelist" issued by Google, and whether the app signature matches. However, inclusion is only the threshold: although office apps such as Word, Excel, Outlook, and Slack are already on the list, in testing Gemini was still unable to directly edit documents within Word, nor did it perform automated operations within Outlook.
As of the publication of the report, Google had not publicly released the full list, nor responded to the related findings. The newly added list in the beta version also includes apps such as Reddit, X, LINE, and Shopee.
