Gemini

Gemini now has a native Mac app in the first expansion beyond Android and iOS.

Gemini in Chrome on desktops is getting a new Skills feature that lets you quickly run frequently used prompts. Besides saving time, this capability helps educate users about what Gemini can do when given a webpage.

After the US launch, Google is bringing Personal Intelligence to Gemini users around the world (excluding Europe).

Google Home has launched another set of updates for its new Gemini voice experience, addressing pain points in media playback and playlists, notes, and more.

The “Android Bench” for ranking AI models used in Android app development has been updated, with OpenAI’s latest model now tied with Gemini for the top spot.

The Gemini app is getting deeper NotebookLM integration after the initial source support introduced last year. Google is introducing the concept of “notebooks.”

Following a US debut late last year, Google is now rolling out Gemini for Home to over a dozen new countries globally as it details some of the latest improvements to its replacement for Google Assistant.

After redesigns in February and March, Google is rolling out another big revamp for the Gemini overlay and Gemini Live. These visual updates are arriving in surprisingly quick succession.

Smart TVs have been relatively static in terms of big new features for a while. Screen quality keeps getting better, software keeps learning new tricks, but it’s pretty uncommon to get a new hardware feature. That’s why I was pretty excited to check out TCL’s QM9K series and, after a few months using this flagship-tier Google TV set, its unique presence-sensing tech that turns on the TV whenever I walk in the room is still a mix of really cool, and perhaps a little pointless.

In a reflection of one increasingly common AI use case, Google today announced a series of Gemini updates to help when users ask about mental health. The company believes that “responsible AI can play a positive role for people’s mental well-being.”

Google today released a new app on iOS called “Google AI Edge Eloquent” that’s rather curious. It’s somewhere between an experiment and a user-facing tool.

In addition to Gemma 4, Google today also detailed Gemini Nano 4 for Android.

Months after it was first announced, Google appears to have opened the floodgates for Gemini on Android Auto, with a number of users reporting that, suddenly, the new voice assistant has arrived in their cars.

Following the announcement in January, Google is beginning to roll out AI Inbox in Gmail to AI Ultra members.

The Gemini overlay on Android now has a new glow effect, while Temporary chat is more prominent on the web.

Google has announced a few more updates to Google Home including Spanish language support for Gemini and more.

As we get new models of Google’s AI, there appears to be a knock-on effect that is drastically changing the experience with Gemini Live and the assistant’s customizable voice options.

Following Lyria 3 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, and importing, Google has a few other Gemini app updates, starting with Personal Intelligence seeing wide US availability.

Google made several key deals to ensure its products would be integrated into the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, including sponsorships and partnerships with some of the biggest national teams – Argentina and France.

Besides Gemini 3.1 Flash Live today, Google is rolling out the ability to import memory and chats into Gemini from other AI apps.

With the launch of Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, Google is launching Search Live globally. Meanwhile, Google Translate’s new headphones experience is now on iOS.
