Gemini Scribe 4.8.0 adds background execution and task scheduling

Gemini Scribe 4.8.0 introduces a background execution lane, allowing tasks like deep research and image generation to run asynchronously. The new Scheduled Task Engine enables users to define tasks in markdown files that the agent can execute on a set cadence, with improved scheduling grammar for daily and weekly runs. This release lays the groundwork for more autonomous agentic workflows, moving towards ambient AI that can react to events within the user's vault. AI
