The Google Pixel is generally considered to be one of the best Android experiences on smartphones. The Pixel experience brings a bunch of exclusive features and more. But now, it appears that an exclusive AI assistant called Pixie could also be coming for next gen Pixel phones.

Google Pixie for Pixel 9 Series

As of right now, Google Assistant already exists as a capable and smart AI voice assistant. However, it is universally available across all Android smartphones and other devices. But with AI’s recent boom, it appears that the Search Engine giant is working on something that could be a little more advanced. Google Assistant with Bard for Android and iOS was recently announced, but a new AI assistant called Pixie is reportedly under development. As the name suggests, this assistant will be exclusive to Pixel devices.

According to The Information, multiple sources close to the matter have revealed Google’s plans regarding Pixie and its developments. This AI assistant is rumored to be a Pixel exclusive feature and could debut in 2024 alongside the Pixel 9 series. It will likely be capable of doing what Google Assistant could do but with new advancements. This means that the assistant could perform more complex tasks.

The report adds that Pixie could even respond to tasks that involve suggesting the closest store where one can buy a product they have photographed. While this sounds quite simple on paper, it is quite a complex process. Another major difference between Google Assistant and Pixie could be the offline functionality. The latter might be capable of performing user requests on-device, which means no internet connectivity is required. This upcoming assistant may be powered by Gemini Nano as well. It is worth noting that the Pixie moniker has yet to be confirmed. The name could just be an internal codename ahead of its official moniker.
