Google is now testing a new Gemini-powered way to simplify discovery, and it\u2019s already rolling out for some US accounts.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Telegram user @blank94855 gave us a heads-up that version 47.9.30-31 of Google Play Services introduces an AI app explorer in the Play Store\u2019s search tab. We\u2019ve since confirmed the feature for ourselves on a US-based device.<\/p>\n<p>When you get the update, at the top, you\u2019ll now see a \u201cWhat are you looking for?\u201d section with the Gemini logo next to it. In the box, you\u2019ll see suggested categories such as \u201cBoost productivity,\u201d \u201cProtect my privacy,\u201d or \u201cPersonalize my phone.\u201d For games, the suggestions switch to themes like space games or robot games.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ih\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Play Store AI App Explorer 1\"  alt=\"Google Play Store AI App Explorer 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Google-Play-Store-AI-App-Explorer-1.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Ih\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Play Store AI App Explorer 2\"  alt=\"Google Play Store AI App Explorer 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Google-Play-Store-AI-App-Explorer-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tapping one of these options takes you to a search results page that features an \u201cOrganized with AI\u201d section. From there, the Play Store serves up curated lists of related apps, with two of each category. For example, choosing Protect my privacy may show a couple of secure browsers, a pair of VPN services, and two encrypted messaging apps. Choosing Boost productivity on the initial page might surface task managers, note-taking tools, and similar picks.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we\u2019ve only been alerted to availability on US accounts. However, it seems only a matter of time before this becomes a Play Store staple worldwide, and it\u2019s just another way that Gemini will eventually assist in almost every aspect of your Google experience.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
