Google Pixel 10 to Get New AI Assistant Pixie That Will Work Locally and Manage Apps

For a long time, Google tried to create a truly smart AI assistant. Unfortunately, attempts to release a “new” Google Assistant were unsuccessful, and the At A Glace project was canceled altogether. In 2023, it became known for the first time about the development of a new assistant Pixie, which should be part of Pixel 9 devices. Now it has become known that the new Google assistant will appear in Pixel 10 smartphones, but will be called Pixel Sense.

«”Get the most personalized experience based on what you do with your Pixel,” the Pixel Sense app description says. As expected, the new voice assistant will be able to analyze data from other Google apps to more accurately determine the interests and habits of each individual user. This means that Pixel Sense will process data from Chrome, Calendar, Contacts, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and other apps.

In addition, it will process media files, including text, images, AI-generated content, and associated metadata. The algorithm will process screenshots and other images to extract their metadata and use it for training.

There is not much official information about the new Google assistant at the moment. It is known that it will be able to offer the user to perform this or that action, as if anticipating their desires. To improve the accuracy of such personalized offers, it is recommended to provide more personal data, information about visited places, time of their visit and other interests. The assistant will be able to analyze the user’s actions during interaction with the smartphone in order to speed up the execution of routine tasks. It will also adapt to the user’s interests, becoming more personalized as it learns from new data.

Google’s new AI assistant will run locally on the user’s device, meaning it won’t require a constant internet connection or access to remote servers. “Your data stays private — only you can see it, not even Google can see it,” Google said in a statement. This could mean that Pixel Sense will be based on the Gemini Nano language model.

It is difficult to say at this point how successful Google’s new assistant will be, since creating such an application is a complex task. Perhaps the company’s proprietary Tensor chips combined with the Gemini Nano algorithm will help the IT giant create a truly smart AI assistant.
