The “Magic Cue” feature, originally implemented on the “Pixel 10” series, is an AI function that utilizes the on-device AI model “Gemini Nano.” It proactively presents necessary information based on the content of communications within apps like Google Messages and the Google Phone app.

For example, it can read a message like “I want to see a picture of a cat” and suggest cat photos, or find and display flight information when you’re calling an airline.
