These two AI shortcuts have become an invaluable part of my Android experience

Android Central's Editor's Desk discusses the integration of artificial intelligence in Android devices, highlighting features like Gemini and Circle to Search that enhance user experience. These features are easily accessible from the bottom of the screen, with Circle to Search allowing users to capture on-screen content for quick searches, and Gemini enabling a swipe gesture to activate the AI assistant. The setup process for these features varies by brand: - Pixel: Settings > System > Navigation mode > Gesture navigation settings > Swipe to invoke assistant. - Motorola: Settings > Gestures > System navigation > Gesture navigation settings > Swipe for Assistant. - OnePlus: Settings > System & update > System navigation > Gestures > Digital Assistant from Google. Samsung has removed the swipe-to-assist feature in One UI 7, leading to user confusion, as the power button is now used for this function, complicating phone shutdown. Alternatives like back tap or voice activation exist but are less convenient. The One Hand Operation Plus module in Good Lock allows for a new gesture but lacks the simplicity of the original swipe. The absence of the swipe gesture in Samsung's interface is seen as a puzzling decision, and the article notes that many consumers are still cautious about AI technology.
