TL;DR

Google launched the Pixel 11 series, featuring a new “interactive onboarding companion” to assist with phone setup and personalization.

The company did not share more details right away, but the feature closely resembles an unreleased Gemini-powered setup assistant that we previously uncovered, which provides real-time guidance and account-tailored recommendations during device setup.

Key features of the previously uncovered experience include an “Ask Gemini” overlay, instant setting execution without opening separate apps, and personalized app recommendations.

Google has just launched the Pixel 11 series and, with it, is debuting a new “interactive onboarding companion” to help you set up your new phone.

Google hasn’t shared details yet, but the company says the interactive onboarding companion helps you “check your setup, personalize settings, and make sure everything is ready to go.” That doesn’t say much on its face, but it sounds suspiciously similar to the Gemini-powered setup assistant we spotted last month.
