A new list of 134 Android apps has been revealed that Google has planned to automate tasks such as shopping, booking services and managing daily tasks with Geminai AI.
According to the artificial intelligence service TeknakAndroid Authority website has identified the secret list of applications that Google has considered for automating Gemina’s tasks by reviewing different versions of Android 17. This list contains 114 apps in the stable version of Android 17 QPR2, but its number increases to 134 in the beta version of Android Canary 2611.
Gemina’s task automation feature allows users to perform various tasks without directly interacting with applications. This artificial intelligence assistant can open the desired program in a virtual screen, select the necessary options and carry out the work steps. For example, Gemina can order food or add a product to the shopping cart. Of course, the final confirmation of the payment will still be the responsibility of the user.
Google launched this feature in March 2026 with support for six apps: Lyft, Uber, Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats and Starbucks. This feature was first made available in the Galaxy S26 series and then the Pixel 10 series.
In summer, this company announced the expansion of support to more than 40 popular applications. Google also announced this week that Gemina’s task automation feature is coming to the UK, India and Japan.
Despite these improvements, Google has not yet published a complete list of compatible applications. The official pages of this company only mention the support of selected applications.
The mechanism of automating Gemina’s tasks in Android 17
Gemina’s task automation capability is developed based on a framework called Computer Control. This capability was first identified by the Android Authority website in October 2025 in Android codes.
According to Google’s developer documentation, this framework currently supports only a limited set of applications. Google plans to increase the number of compatible apps over time.
New research shows that Google sends the list of allowed apps directly from its servers to Android phones. Each entry contains the application software package name and its digital signature certificate.
This mechanism is used to identify the official version of applications. As a result, only apps whose information matches the version published on Google Play can be authorized to automate tasks.
The presence of the name of an application in this list is a necessary condition for the automatic execution of tasks, but it alone does not guarantee the functionality.
Contrary to expectations, the mentioned list is not present only in phones compatible with task automation. The author of Android Authority has spotted the same version of this list on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Pixel 7a and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra officially supports task automation, but the two Pixel phones still don’t have it. However, all three devices have received a list of target apps.
Phones equipped with Android 16 also do not receive this list. This difference indicates that the infrastructure for identifying target applications is dependent on the operating system version, although receiving the list does not necessarily mean that the feature can be used.

Increasing the number of applications compatible with Gemina to 114
The list of target apps in Android 17 QPR2 stable release as of November 12, 2026 includes 114 apps. This number has increased in just two days.
As of November 10, Android 17 QPR1 had a list of 106 apps. In the new version, Google has added eight more applications to the previous collection.
An important part of these applications belong to the Australian and Canadian markets. Australian versions of McDonald’s, KFC and Starbucks are among the newly added apps.
In Canada, the applications of Best Buy Canada, McDonald’s Canada, Burger King Canada and KFC Canada have joined the list. The eighth application, 7NOW, belongs to 7-Eleven stores in the United States.
The important thing is that Australia and Canada are not yet among the countries with official support for automating Gemina’s tasks. Therefore, the addition of local applications of these countries can be a sign of Google’s plan to geographically expand this feature.
However, Google has not yet confirmed such a program and the presence of these applications cannot be considered as the imminent release of the feature in these countries.
The new list is not limited to food ordering, transportation, shopping and travel services apps. Several administrative and communication tools are also seen in it.
These tools include Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Slack and Evernote.
The presence of these apps is important because Google has so far been more about doing everyday tasks. These tasks include booking a car, flight and accommodation, buying tickets for events, buying and selling products, and ordering food and groceries.
The addition of administrative tools could indicate that Google is exploring broader uses for Gemini. However, practical support for document editing and direct administration of administrative files has yet to be confirmed.

Gemina’s practical test in food ordering and shopping applications
One of the most important parts of the Android Authority review is dedicated to testing the automation of tasks in Indian apps.
Google recently announced the rollout of this feature in India, but did not specify the names of compatible local apps. The detected list includes 9 apps for the Indian market.
These apps are Zomato, Blinkit, Rapido, BookMyShow, ixigo, McDelivery, KFC India, Burger King India and Starbucks India.
To check how this feature actually works, the Android Authority writer asked Gemina on the Galaxy S26 Ultra to order food for him through Zomato.
Gemina opened the application and after going through the dark mode setting page, she searched for the desired restaurant. Then he found the requested food and chose the right size.
The AI assistant added the food to the cart and even ordered a free dessert. Finally, Gemina stopped right before the payment stage and asked the user to complete the payment in person.
A similar experiment with the Blinkit app was also successful. The author asked Jamina to order a liter of milk. The assistant searched for the product, selected the appropriate one-liter pack, and added it to the shopping cart.
The Starbucks India app also worked fine with Gemina’s automation until the checkout stage.
But the test results were different in two competing applications. The author made the same requests to Swiggy and Zepto, but Geminai refused to comply.
The assistant announced that Swiggy and Zepto apps are not available for automation.
Swiggy offers food ordering services and Zepto also operates in the field of grocery shopping. Therefore, both applications are supported by Google in the category of tasks.
However, their names are not in the authorized list and Gemina cannot perform the duties related to them. This test shows that placing an application in the category of supported services is not enough to activate the automation feature.

Limitation of automation in Microsoft applications
Android Authority’s review shows that even whitelisting isn’t a guarantee that task automation will work.
Microsoft Word and Outlook are specific examples of this limitation. Both apps are on Google’s list of target apps, but Gemina still can’t perform tasks directly in their environment.
The author first asked Gemina to edit a document in Microsoft Word. This assistant replied that it is not possible to directly edit files in the Word application on the device.
When Jamina was asked to share a Word file, she stated that she did not have access to Microsoft Word.
The request to open one of the recent documents also did not have the desired result. In some attempts, Gemina just launched the application, and in other cases, it displayed a button to open Word.
C. Scott Brown, another Android Authority writer, conducted a similar test with the Pixel 11 Pro in the US.
He asked Jamina to create a document in Word. Instead of controlling the application, this assistant generated a DOCX file by itself and provided it to Word.
The Outlook test also had a similar result. Instead of writing the email directly in the application environment, Gemina provided a link to open the email writing page.
The difference in Gemina’s error messages reveals another important point. About Swiggy and Zepto, the assistant states that the apps are not available for automation.
But about Word, it talks about the inability to edit files directly or not having access to the application.
This difference could indicate the presence of another layer of restrictions on top of the Android whitelist.
In other words, the application should probably support the requested task type in addition to being in the target list.
Currently, ordering food, shopping for groceries, requesting a car, and making reservations are among the supported tasks. On the other hand, document editing and direct administrative work are not yet included in this collection.
The presence of Word, Excel, Teams and Slack on the list could be related to the testing of future office capabilities, but Google has not yet announced a specific plan in this regard.
Complete list of applications and test 20 new applications
The list of 114 applications of the stable version of Android 17 QPR2 is divided into several groups based on the main market of the applications.

There is also a test entry called com.sampleapp in the directory, which is not included in the 114 app count.
The list of Android Canary version 2611 is more extensive and includes 20 more beta apps. These programs include:
Flipkart، Reddit، X، Strava، KakaoTalk، LINE، Costco، Domino’s، iFood، Rappi، Mercado Libre، Wolt، Shopee، Postmates، Safeway، MyFitnessPal، Peloton، Picsart، FaceApp و AllTrails.
Flipkart’s presence on the list is significant because Google is separately testing payments through this store in the Gemina environment for Indian users.
The Canary version also includes Google’s internal demos of DoorDash, Uber, Lyft, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Instacart. These versions appear to have been developed for internal testing.
Android Authority tests show that the Canary list changes dynamically, adding 20 test apps to the stable version list.
For example, the Canary list on November 10 contained 126 applications. Of these, 106 items belonged to the stable list at that time and 20 items belonged to the experimental version.
After the release of Android 17 QPR2, the number of stable version applications reached 114. Returning to Canary, the author observed that the number of applications increased to 134 just a few minutes after booting up the device.
Google has not yet published the official list of target applications. The company also did not specify which apps in the UK, India and Japan actually support task automation.
Since the information of this list is received from Google servers, it is possible to change it at any time.
Android Authority has reached out to Google for an official explanation about the listing, but has not received a response by the time of publishing the report.
