Google is developing a new feature called Halo for Android phones that aims to streamline the use of AI agents. This system will allow users to delegate tasks like scheduling appointments or making payments to AI agents, which can be run remotely via Google's Spark service and accessed through Halo. A notification system, including a light on the back of devices like the Pixel 11 Pro, will keep users informed about the AI's activities without requiring them to constantly interact with their phone screen.
