🦾How You Can Leverage:

Remember early 2024?

Google was just fighting for its place on the AI podium next to OpenAI, Microsoft and Anthropic. 

Fast forward like 16 months? 

Google kicked over the podium and took the whole dang game over. 

Google is shipping AI updates, LLM upgrades and new ways to work by the dozens. 

How big were the announcements at their recent Google I/O conference?  

So big that we had to break the updates up into two episodes as we go over our top 15 AI updates from Google’s I/O conference. 

(And how it might change how we work.) 

First up? 

Numbers 15-8. (Join us tomorrow for numbers 7-1!)

Here we gooooooooo

Ever seen AI-generated images that actually look REAL? Not just "pretty good for AI" but "wait, that's AI?!"

That's Imagen 4.

These images look like they were shot on professional cameras with perfect lighting. And unlike Midjourney (which straight up "doesn't care" about text rendering), Imagen 4 handles text in images beautifully.

Availability: Rolling out now in the Gemini app + coming to Google Workspace. Requires Google AI Pro ($20/month) or Ultra ($250/month).

Business Impact: Trash those boring stock photos on your website TODAY.

Create custom visuals that look like you hired an amazing photographer.

Want better AI videos? Start with Imagen 4 images as your foundation.

Chrome is about to catch up to what Microsoft Edge has been doing for a YEAR plus. 

But it's going beyond just summarizing pages in-browser with AI. 

Soon, the Gemini-Chrome duo will actually navigate websites FOR YOU. Like having an invisible assistant who knows how to click buttons and fill forms.

Availability: Available now for Google AI Pro ($19.99/month) and Ultra subscribers; English language only initially.

Business Impact: Stop wasting hours on repetitive web tasks. Let Chrome handle your research while you focus on what humans do best.

This feature was so good, Google's CEO specifically called it out in his keynote.

It creates email responses based on:

• Your unique writing style (it mimics YOU)

• Context from previous emails

• Data pulled straight from your Google Drive files

Availability: Launching in Google Labs July 2025. Web-only and English-only at first.

Business Impact: Got 2,300+ unread emails like some of us? (The shame!)

This tool will slash through your inbox by crafting responses that sound exactly like you wrote them – while automatically pulling in pricing, details, and data from your Drive files.

No more digging through spreadsheets to answer simple questions.

NotebookLM won "tool of the year" on Everyday AI in 2024 for a reason.

It’s straight up revolutionary. 

And now, NotebookLM is even better after two big I/O updates. 

Now you can choose the length of the viral AI Audio Overview Deep Dive podcasts where it transforms your boring documents into engaging podcasts with two AI hosts who sound surprisingly human.

Choose your length: quick (5 min), standard (10 min), or deep dive (20 min).

Video generation is dropping soon too. It won’t be cinema quality video, but it should still be a new way to learn more subjects faster and better. 

Availability: Audio features live now. Videos coming. Free tier works great for most users.

Business Impact: Turn that 30-page report into an audio briefing your team will actually consume.

Perfect for explaining complex topics without forcing people to read dense text.

This isn't your regular language model.

Instead of working left-to-right like traditional LLMs that are next token predictors on steroids, Gemini Diffusion starts with noise and refines everything at once – like how AI images are generated.

Result? 4-5X FASTER responses for math and coding.

Will it be useful for everything in the short-term? No. 

Is it a completely new way that LLMs can work? Yes. 

Availability: Limited preview with waitlist.

Business Impact: Your technical teams will solve problems in seconds instead of minutes.

When you're debugging code or solving complex equations, this speed difference is MASSIVE.

Imagine talking to someone who speaks zero English, and you hear everything they say translated instantly – in a voice that sounds natural.

No awkward pauses. No robotic voices.

You speak English, they hear Spanish. They respond in Spanish, you hear English. Magic.

Availability: Initially for Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers. Starting with Spanish/English, more languages are coming.

Business Impact: Expand globally without language barriers holding you back.

Talk to clients, partners, and teams worldwide as if everyone spoke the same language.

This completely changes international business.

Gemini's Deep Research now accepts PDFs and images as starting points.

Translation: You can upload company docs and have AI research based on YOUR proprietary info.

Even better? With the recent upgrade to Gemini 2.5, Deep Research now uses a "thinking model" that can change direction mid-research when it discovers a better path.

Availability: Rolling out to iOS and Android now. Core features free. Premium features only available on Pro and Ultra plans. 

Business Impact: Start your workday with AI that thinks like a top-tier research assistant.

Feed it your company data and watch it deliver insights that adapt and evolve as it learns more.

This might be the most game-changing announcement nobody's talking about.

Gemma 3N is just 4-billion parameters (tiny!) yet performs nearly identically to Claude 3.7 Sonnet in blind tests.

Lettuce repeat that.

A model small enough to run on your PHONE is matching one of the world's most powerful AI systems.

And it runs 100% on your device. No cloud needed. WTF.

Availability: Preview available now. Free for developers to download and customize.

Business Impact: This solves the #1 enterprise AI concern: data privacy.

Run powerful AI directly on devices without sending sensitive info to the cloud.

Fine-tune it with your company data for a completely private AI solution that works offline.
