For the Pixel 10 series, Magic Cue is one of the tentpole AI features, with Google believing that proactive contextual suggestions will change how you use a phone.
Powered by the latest version of Gemini Nano running on Tensor G5, Magic Cue is aware of information in your Gmail, Google Calendar, Keep, Messages, and Screenshots.
It then surfaces those details as relevant as you’re using Google Messages, Phone, Pixel Weather, and search in various apps, as well as notifications and Gboard’s suggestions strip.
For example, if a friend asks you in Google Messages about the address for tonight’s event, Magic Cue will appear at the bottom of the conversation as a Smart Reply-like suggestion with a rainbow outline. A single tap will insert the address from a Gmail confirmation email or Calendar event.
If somebody asks if you’re free on a certain day, Magic Cue will show a shortcut to open Google Calendar. It can also surface photos to share if a friend asks you to send shots from a specific event.
Another example is calling an airline and having the Google Phone app surface your flight confirmation number and details from Gmail over the in-call screen. This also works with hotels and other reservations.
An integration with Pixel Weather, which gets larger place cards in a small redesign, shows the weather for upcoming calendar events on the homepage with personalized AI weather reports that take into account what activity you’re doing.
The other way you can view Magic Cue suggestions on the Pixel 10 is by swiping to the Discover feed from your homescreen and selecting a “Daily Hub” card at the top. This gives you a feed that is Google Now and Assistant Snapshot reincarnated. It starts with a greeting and weather forecast. You get a line about what’s on your calendar, and “some points to remember.” Daily Hub can show music and podcast suggestions
Users can control what sources of information (Gmail, Calendar, etc.) Magic Cue has access to when making suggestions.
