Google might put an AI button on the lock screen. It's not clear what it'll do, but it could be related to its Gemini AI.

Has anyone actually found a good use for having any LLM function handy on your phone?

I mean, yeah? The same thing you might have used Google Assistant for...

They're handy for conversational type questions where remembering previous questions is important, but that's about it. That's not usually important though, and can easily be accessed through a website instead.

Being able to ask questions about the currently playing YouTube video has been phenomenal for me, it's the ultimate anti-clickbait.
Other than that, no, not really.

Being able to questions about images could open some great automation possibilities, but I'm very much not stoked about sending images to Google/OpenAI/whatever, so until those models with vision capabilities can run locally on a phone, it's a dead end for me.
