Google AI Edge Gallery - Bring on-device function calling to iPhone

by•
Google AI Edge Gallery just landed on iOS, bringing real on-device function calling to iPhone for the first time. Powered by a compact 270M FunctionGemma model, Mobile Actions turns natural voice commands into actual phone actions like creating calendar events, opening maps or toggling flashlight instantly — all fully offline.

Hi everyone!

Google AI Edge Gallery finally dropped on iOS and it actually ships real on-device function calling.

Mobile Actions is the one that hits different — you talk normally and the 270M model calls actual system functions: create events, open maps, flip the flashlight, all local and zero lag.

Tiny Garden is the fun proof it can handle custom app logic too.

Yeah it's still early compared to the full multi-step Gemini agent , but seeing proper agentic stuff already working this clean on iPhone hardware feels surprisingly fresh for the Apple side.

If you're poking at local AI, just grab the app and mess with the demos. The make it easy to add your own actions.

Seems incredible. The sad part is that I am anAndroid user 🤡🤡🤡🤡

I was anxious to use it, I installed it but looks like it only understands English and exact frases not like natural language, disappointed
