Alongside the launch of new Pixel devices, the Pixel phone line is also getting its own new weather app powered by AI. At today’s Made by Google event in Mountain View, the tech giant briefly showed off the app, which offers a custom AI weather report created by Gemini Nano – Google’s AI model designed to run on mobile.
With the new app, users “don’t have to scroll through a bunch of numbers to get a sense of the day’s weather,” the tech company touted. Instead, users can customize the app depending on the weather information they want to see. For example, they can keep an eye on the UV index by dragging and dropping that tile to a more visible location in the app.
The app also includes a dynamic design with a colorful background, an “AI weather report,” daily and hourly forecasts, and other standard weather app features.
News about the app was leaked before today’s event, showing features like moving tiles for humidity, wind speed, barometric pressure and other things, except for the 10-day forecast.
Google says the Pixel Weather app will ship on all new Pixel 9 smartphones, including Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, as well as Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
