It was previously reported in 2023 that Google is working on a new on-device assistant called Pixie, designed specifically for Pixel phones. It was supposed to launch with the Pixel 9, but later no update was shared and we haven’t really heard anything since then. However, this changes now as a new report now shares some exciting updates on Google’s Assistant.
According to an inside source at Google via a recent Android Authority report, it can be confirmed that the Pixel 10 will finally introduce this rumoured assistant. But the name is not what we heard earlier as the new report suggests a new name, Pixel Sense!
Google Assistant Pixel Sense
In the Android Authority report, it is revealed that Google describes Pixel Sense in one sentence, “Get the most personalised experience based on the things you do on your Pixel.”
Like the original Pixie concept, Pixel Sense will pull data from other Google apps to offer a more intelligent and personalised experience. Some of the apps it will work with include the following names –
- Calendar
- Chrome
- Contacts & Phone
- Docs & Files
- Gmail
- Keep Notes
- Maps
- Messages
- Photos & Screenshots
- Recorder
- Wallet
- YouTube & YT Music
- Aurelius (likely an unreleased app)
Pixel Sense will also process media files like text, images, AI-generated content and metadata. It will work similarly to Pixel Screenshots, allowing users to organise and search screenshots more efficiently.
“Pixel Sense processes your screenshots to identify metadata and learn from it. Use the Pixel Sense App to organise and search screenshots,” the latest report quotes.
While there is not much info on how Pixel sense will work, last year’s report on possible Google Assistant stated, “Experience fast and intelligent help, no matter if you are online or offline. […] Your data stays private—visible only to you, not even Google can see it.”
