How to Manage Complex Tasks with Gemini on Smartwatch

Gemini handles multi-step tasks that combine messaging, calendar, email, and other apps without requiring you to touch your phone. This makes your watch a true productivity tool during workouts, commutes, or busy days.

Multi-Step Communication​

Send messages with context from other apps or combine multiple communication tasks.

  • Contextual Messages: Say Text Sarah that I'll be late because my meeting ran over and Gemini uses calendar context to craft an appropriate message.

  • Message Chains: Say Read my last message from John and reply that I agree with his suggestion.

  • Group Coordination: Say Send a message to my family group that I'm leaving work now.

  • Follow-Up Actions: Say Text mom that I'll call her after my 3 PM meeting ends.

Calendar and Email Integration​

Manage your schedule and inbox through connected voice commands.

  • Email Summaries: Say Summarize the latest email from my boss or What did the sales team email about today.

  • Schedule Checks: Say What's the address for my dentist appointment and navigate there to combine calendar lookup with navigation.

  • Meeting Prep: Say What documents do I need for my 2 PM meeting and remind me 10 minutes before.

  • Event Creation: Say Add dinner with Tom on Friday at 7 PM at the Italian restaurant downtown.

Dynamic Content Creation​

Create playlists and content on the fly during activities.

  • Workout Playlists: Say Create an upbeat playlist for my 45-minute run.

  • Similar Music: Say Make a playlist with songs like what's playing now.

  • Mood-Based: Say Play relaxing music and set a 30-minute timer for my meditation.

  • Activity Matching: Gemini can suggest or create content appropriate for your current activity when synced with fitness apps.

Chained Commands​

Execute multiple related actions with a single request.

  • Morning Routine: Say Tell me today's weather, read my first meeting details, and start a 10-minute timer for breakfast.

  • Leaving Work: Say Send my spouse I'm leaving, navigate home, and play my commute playlist.

  • Pre-Meeting: Say Summarize emails from the project team and set Do Not Disturb for 1 hour.

  • Task + Reminder: Say Text John about the report and remind me to follow up tomorrow at 9 AM.

Setup Requirements​

Enable proper permissions for complex task handling.

  • Enable Extensions: On your phone, open Gemini profile Extensions enable Google Workspace for email and calendar access.

  • App Permissions: Ensure Gemini has permission to access messaging, calendar, and other apps you want to control.

  • Account Sync: Your watch must use the same Google account as your phone for seamless cross-device functionality.

  • Test First: Try simple versions of complex commands first. If Send a text to Mom works, then Send a text to Mom about my calendar today should work too.
