Google's Gemini Intelligence introduces custom widgets

Customizing is going to be more personalized on your Android smartphone and smartwatch with a new custom widgets feature. With Gemini Intelligence's Create My Widget, you can describe the type of widget you want to appear on your smartphone or smartwatch.

"For example, if you're a meal prepper, just ask Create My Widget to 'Suggest three high-protein meal prep recipes every week,' and watch as it builds a custom dashboard you can add and resize right on your home screen. Or if you're a cyclist who only cares about wind speed and rain, you can create a weather widget that surfaces those exact stats," Google said in its press release.
