More Getty Images) In the race to establish themself as the leading light in consumer-focused artificial intelligence, every edge is a slight advantage to Google. Tucked away in the latest Android builds is Gemini Space, which is one such small advantage. Discovering Gemini Space Mishaal Rahmen uncovered details on the new experience during a deep dive into recent builds of Android. It looks to build on the Android integration of Gemini AI into the At A Glance tools available to Pixel owners. Currently, At A Glance is available through the widely available Google app. The second is through the Pixel-exclusive At A Glance widget. The widget uses GeminiAI to surface contextual information across several services, including weather reports, travel updates, and event reminders. Rahmen suggests that Google will add more features that will support a rebrand to Gemini Space. These include pulling data from financial sources and a user's favorite sports teams. Gemini Space pops up in the code that links these services into the Google App and the At A Glance widget. The Impact Of Gemini Space One of the interesting decisions here may be Google's increased use of Gemini in the package and presumably in the marketing. Many see artificial intelligence as the new battleground not just for a few more sales, but as a disruptive element on the level of the web browser, the search engine, and the mobile operating system. Whoever has the upper hand, who can define AI and shape public opinion, will be best placed to capitalise on that. Google is part of that race (alongside companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity. The Gemini brand is highlighted as often as possible in the current marketing. Renaming At A Glance to Gemini Space unifies the experience on the Pixel handset, but also allows another mention of Gemini while illustrating what AI can achieve on a handset. Gemini's Ability To Win The Space With Apple falling behind in on-device artificial intelligence, at least in the way that Google is working hard to define the space, the upcoming launch of the Pixel 10 family, and the new Gemini labelled AI that will accompany it, should stretch Gogole's lead in the mobile race to be seen as the one true way to AI on mobile. Now read how Google quietly confirmed the Pixel 10 family...

Google's Pixel phones may soon borrow a trick from Samsung's Now Bar

The feature, called "Gemini Space," could be a major step forward for Google's At a Glance widget, offering more real-time information on the lock screen. As reported based on findings through a deep dive of the underlying code, traces of this new experience first appeared in last month's Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 release. A new system configuration file named "Ambient Data" was added, which appears to be the internal codename for Gemini Space. That file was found in firmware for both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro, suggesting the feature won't be limited to the upcoming Pixel 10. Other clues point to an "Ambience Hub," though it's not clear how it will work. The name suggests a new interface for showing useful data on the lock screen or always-on display. This would align with other Google features that use 'ambient' in their name, such as ambient display or ambient AOD. More interestingly, the Android System Intelligence app — which powers the current At a Glance widget — now includes hints about sports scores and finance updates. A toggle for finance recaps was even found in the At a Glance settings, further supporting the idea that these updates could appear as part of Gemini Space. OneUI's Now Bar and Now Brief was a welcome addition when it launched with the Galaxy S25 series. | Image credit — PhoneArena All signs point to Google preparing a rebranded and upgraded version of At a Glance. If true, Gemini Space would serve a similar purpose to Samsung's Now Bar and Now Brief — the former being a live info chip on the lock screen, and the latter offering a full-page summary of your day. While some may say that At a Glance already covers this, Pixel phones don't have anything quite like the Now Brief: a dedicated, rich feed of contextual updates accessible right from the lock screen. That could change if Gemini Space and the rumored Ambience Hub roll out as expected. Whether this will be a Pixel 10 exclusive or come to older models remains to be seen, but the feature looks like a natural evolution of At a Glance — and perhaps a strategic way to keep Gemini AI front and center.
