• Gemini AI on Android is set to gain a Clock Tool extension for setting alarms and timers independently.
• New background mode will allow Gemini to continue conversations while using other apps or when the screen is locked.
• The AI will support extensions for Google Maps, YouTube, and more, enhancing its functionality on the lock screen.
