125 Tests of Gemini on Pixel 11 Pro

A comprehensive stress test of Google’s AI assistant on Android 17

Inspired by David Pogue’s benchmark, 125 Tests of the New AI Siri on Substack.

To evaluate how Google’s conversational AI performs when pushed to its limits in daily workflows, here is a 125-task stress test executed entirely within the Gemini interface on the Pixel 11 Pro. Every test was conducted directly inside the Gemini app, via native Gemini Extensions (Google Workspace, Keep, Tasks, Device Control, Media, and Maps), through Gemini’s multimodal camera input, or using the Gemini Screen Overlay ("Ask Gemini about this screen").

No separate third-party apps were manually opened to complete these tasks.

Key: ✅ = Succeeded inside Gemini | ❌ = Failed | ⏳ = Succeeded with user confirmation or extra interaction
