Well, the search giant says you can connect AI Edge Gallery to your Workspace MCP so that your on-device AI chatbot can check your calendar for events or check your email for bill and ticket information. You can also connect to Google Maps MCP to ask about nearby points of interest or travel times. Finally, Google says you can connect to a Web MCP so that your on-device chatbot can access a URL and retrieve news or documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_-l\">\n<div class=\"e_cm e_Xt\">\n<h3 class=\"e__t\">Have you used the Google AI Edge Gallery app?<\/h3>\n<p>0 votes<\/p>\n<div class=\"e_1t e_km\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_2t\"><\/p>\n<p>yes, i use it often<\/p>\n<p>Nan<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_2t\"><\/p>\n<p>yes i use it again and again<\/p>\n<p>Nan<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_2t\"><\/p>\n<p>I tried it but don&#8217;t use it anymore<\/p>\n<p>Nan<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_2t\"><\/p>\n<p>No, but I&#8217;m curious to try it<\/p>\n<p>Nan<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_2t\"><\/p>\n<p>no i don&#8217;t care<\/p>\n<p>Nan<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_Y\">\n<p>Another major addition to AI Edge Gallery is the notification reminder functionality:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you tell the agent, &#8216;Remind me to log my mood every night at 10 p.m.,&#8217; it schedules a local notification. When you tap that notification, the app opens directly to the right tool and starts a session with Gemma 4, ready to help.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, it allows you to create proactive routines that pop up when needed. Google says you can use this feature to create a &#8220;daily nudge&#8221; that asks how you&#8217;re doing and subsequently tracks your mood and well-being over time. You can also use this feature to effectively create a daily digest in the morning, giving you an overview of your calendar and schedule before you leave home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_3l e_e\" style=\"--columns:2\"><button type=\"button\"><picture class=\"e_qg\" style=\"padding-top:92.20%;aspect-ratio:962 \/ 887\"><source sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1.jpg.webp 962w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-64w-59h.jpg.webp 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-937w-864h.jpg.webp 937w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-412w-380h.jpg.webp 412w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-675w-622h.jpg.webp 675w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_rg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Google AI Edge Gallery Reminder 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1.jpg 962w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-64w-59h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-937w-864h.jpg 937w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-412w-380h.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1-675w-622h.jpg 675w\" alt=\"Google AI Edge Gallery Reminder 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-1.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/button><button type=\"button\"><picture class=\"e_qg\" style=\"padding-top:97.09%;aspect-ratio:927 \/ 900\"><source sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2.jpg.webp 927w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-64w-62h.jpg.webp 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-890w-864h.jpg.webp 890w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-391w-380h.jpg.webp 391w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-675w-655h.jpg.webp 675w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_rg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Google AI Edge Gallery Reminder 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2.jpg 927w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-64w-62h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-890w-864h.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-391w-380h.jpg 391w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2-675w-655h.jpg 675w\" alt=\"Google AI Edge Gallery Reminder 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-AI-Edge-Gallery-reminder-2.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_Y\">\n<p>The additions don&#8217;t stop there, as Google says the AI \u200b\u200bEdge Gallery now supports persistent chat history.
