How to Use Gemini Intelligence on Motorola Signature 27

Motorola’s Signature 27 becomes the first non-Pixel phone to ship as a full Gemini Intelligence device. Google confirmed the expansion on 10 November 2026, with US pre-orders opening 19 November.

The phone runs Android 17 and meets the hardware bar for Google’s most advanced on-device and cloud Gemini features. Owners will get Rambler voice cleanup, custom widgets, multi-step task automation, and Device Assistance without waiting for a later software update on most of these tools.

What Gemini Intelligence brings to the Signature 27

Gemini Intelligence packages Gemini’s agentic capabilities for high-end Android hardware. On the Signature 27 it includes:

• Rambler on Gboard: speak naturally and receive cleaned, formatted text that removes filler words and organises thoughts into paragraphs or lists.
• Create My Widget: describe a home-screen widget in plain language. Gemini builds it and can pull data from Gmail, Calendar, and Search.
• Task automation: ask Gemini to order food, book a ride, or make a reservation across supported apps while you stay in control.
• Device Assistance: request system actions such as clearing storage, reviewing location permissions, or muting notifications while keeping priority calls active.
• Sign-to-Text on Gboard for real-time American Sign Language to English text (availability varies by region and language).

These features sit on top of standard Gemini experiences such as Gemini Omni for conversational video creation and Lyria for music generation, which Motorola says ship out of the box.

Google’s 10 November post states that Rambler is available on the Signature 27 at launch, while Create My Widget rolls out over the following weeks and task automation expands to additional countries including the UK, India, and Japan.

Before you start

Confirm the following:

• The phone is running Android 17 or later (ships with 17).
• You are signed in with a Google account.
• Gemini app is installed and updated from the Play Store.
• Gboard is set as the default keyboard if you want Rambler and Sign-to-Text.
• Feature availability depends on country, language, and account age (most require 18+). Some higher-usage tiers may need a Google AI subscription.

If you already own a Pixel 10 or later, the workflow will feel familiar. See our Gemini Intelligence on Pixel 10 guide for the shared steps.

Enable and use Rambler

1. Open any text field and switch to Gboard.
2. Tap the microphone icon or long-press the space bar to start voice input.
3. Speak naturally. Rambler processes the audio in real time, strips fillers such as “um” and “like,” and returns polished text.
4. Review the output, then send or insert it.

Rambler works in supported languages and is subject to usage limits. Results improve when you speak in complete sentences rather than fragmented phrases.

Create a custom widget

Create My Widget lets you skip the widget picker.

1. Long-press an empty area on the home screen.
2. Tap Widgets, then look for Create My Widget or the Gemini option.
3. Type a short description. Examples: “monthly spending summary from Gmail receipts,” “countdown to my next flight with calendar details,” or “today’s meetings and weather.”
4. Preview the layout Gemini generates. Edit size, style, or data sources if the controls appear.
5. Tap Add to place it on the home screen.

The widget can refresh from Gmail, Calendar, and Search. Availability rolls out over several weeks after launch, so check again if the option is missing on day one.

Run multi-step task automation

1. Open the Gemini app.
2. Say or type a request that involves supported apps, for example “Order a large coffee from my usual place for pickup” or “Book a ride to the airport at 7 am.”
3. Confirm the plan Gemini shows. You can review progress, intervene, or cancel at any point.
4. Gemini executes the steps across the allow-listed apps in the background.

Supported categories currently include grocery orders, rides, meal delivery, marketplace purchases, and reservations. Exact apps vary by country. The feature is expanding beyond the initial regions into the UK, India, and Japan.

Use Device Assistance

Ask Gemini directly:

• “Clear up storage space.”
• “Which apps can access my location?”
• “Mute non-priority notifications for the next hour but keep calls from my family.”

Gemini understands the device settings and can surface or apply the relevant controls. The feature requires Android 17 or later and is limited to select devices and regions.

Tips for better results

• Keep the Gemini app and Gboard updated. Feature flags often arrive through Play Store updates.
• Speak clearly for Rambler and give complete context for task automation.
• Review every automated action before it completes, especially purchases or bookings.
• Check Google’s support pages for the latest country and language list, as coverage continues to expand.
• If a feature is missing, wait a few days after pre-order delivery; some capabilities ship staggered.

Conclusion

The Motorola Signature 27 brings Gemini Intelligence outside Google’s own hardware for the first time at full feature parity on most tools. Pre-orders open 19 November in the US. Once the phone arrives, the steps above let you start with Rambler immediately and add widgets and automation as they finish rolling out.
