TL;DR

• Google is seen testing a feature called “Contextual Suggestions,” which offers recommendations based on your habits.
• It can use your location, routine, or other activity to suggest usual tasks.
• The feature is currently in testing and available only to a small set of users.

With the recently launched Pixel 10, Google introduced Magic Cue to simplify how we use our phones. The feature is designed to offer us personalized, context-based suggestions or app actions within supported apps. Although it has been limited to the Pixel 10 series — and has failed to amaze us as it should have — since launch, Google may be cooking up something similar, albeit toned down and more generalized, for all other Android devices.

We’ve learned that Google is working on something called Contextual Suggestions, which offer “helpful suggestions from apps and services based on their routine activities and locations.” The feature’s description also includes a relevant example: your usual workout playlist in your preferred music app boots up automatically when you arrive at the gym.
