I’m sick and tired of AI, but Magic Cue sounds like a particularly helpful addition to the PIxel line
The Pixel 10 series is here, and while the hardware is nearly identical to the Pixel 9 series, it’s once again the software features that bring about the potential to excite the most. Say what you will about Google, but the company usually nails the software and AI features of its devices (disregarding the bugs, of course).Well, that’s precisely the case with the Pixel 10, which delivered a multitude of software features, almost all of which are AI-assisted, but the most exciting one for me is Magic Cue. Forget the Tensor G5, forget the larger batteries and faster charging, even put the exciting new Pixelsnap system aside, it’s the new software features that are the Pixel 10’s highlights as far as I’m concerned.Magic Cue is Google at its finestIf you’re out of the loop, this feature acts as an agentic butler that’s always aware of your personal context and personal information and will present you with smart, relevant suggestions just when you need them. It aims to connect the dots between your apps, emails, screenshots, notes and more, with the goal of providing what’s contextually «useful before you even think of hunting for it yourself.»The showcased examples were pretty easy to understand: Google had a demo where if someone messaged you about an upcoming dinner, Magic Cue would automatically look for dinner reservations in your Gmail and promptly present relevant information as a suggestion in the message thread, allowing you to quickly enter the restaurant name, reservation time, and so on.
