Google Assistant Routines , which allow you to perform a series of tasks with a single voice command, are now supported by Gemini.
Google Assistant Routines have been around since 2017 and let you create a series of things to get done throughout the day. For example, you can have it dim the lights, turn on the TV , and set your phone to Do Not Disturb, all with a single command.

Gemini, AI chatbot , is likely to replace Google Assistant at some point. But it still doesn’t support Routines or similar features. Now, the folks at Android Authority have dug into the code of the latest beta version of the Google app for Android (15.24.28.29.arm64 beta) and found hints that the AI assistant may be getting support for such a feature.
It's important to know that this feature is still in the works and it's always possible that it won't reach an official release, if Google.

From the leaked images, we can see that you may now be able to control Google Assistant Routines with Gemini. However, you will still need to create the routine with Assistant and then activate it with Gemini.
Routines seem to be one of Gemini's biggest drawbacks compared to Google Assistant right now, so it's nice to see that Google is actually working on it and may implement a solution in the future.
It would be even better if Gemini could create Routines for you, but we don't have any information yet on whether the chatbot will be able to do that. However, Routines are a great way to get simple tasks done, and Gemini should get support for the feature sooner rather than later.

Google Assistant Routines offer a powerful way to streamline daily tasks and improve productivity, especially when supported by Gemini. By setting up routines, users can automate a series of actions with a single voice command. For example, a morning routine can be programmed to provide weather updates, calendar events, and news updates as soon as the command “Good morning” is given. Similarly, an evening routine can help end the day by dimming smart lights, setting alarms, and playing relaxing music. These routines not only save time but also add an element of convenience and efficiency to everyday life.
