Overview
- Reporters uncovered a hidden Proactive Assistance feature by decompiling the Google app and enabling its UI, but it is not available to users.
- The feature is designed to surface suggestions based on what is on your screen, your notifications, and data from chosen apps like Contacts, Messages, Gmail, and Calendar.
- In-app text says allowed data is processed in a private encrypted space on the device and is not used for AI training or human review.
- The proactive feed previously labeled Your Day now appears as Daily brief, signaling a new interface for surfacing timely prompts.
- This push builds on Google’s Personal Intelligence rollout and a 2025 demo that showed Gemini sending a study-quiz alert from Calendar signals, pointing to a shift from reactive chats to helpful nudges.
