Gemini

Google Labs today announced a “new experimental AI productivity agent” called “CC.” It will generate and send a “Your Day Ahead” briefing to your inbox every morning.

After detailing upcoming updates last week, the Gemini app has a new Deep Research capability that will let AI Ultra subscribers “visualize complex information instantly” with images and more.

Besides Search Live, Gemini Live is also rolling out a pair of updates today that should result in “less talking over each other” and “more smooth chatting.”

Google today announced the latest version of Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio. In addition to Google Translate for live headphones translation, AI Mode’s Search Live will benefit from these model upgrades.

Google Translate is rolling out new features that leverage Gemini, including live translation with headphones.

Google is rolling out an update to the Gemini app today that better displays information pulled from the Google Maps extension.

Google today announced a “significantly more powerful Gemini Deep Research agent” that will soon be available in consumer apps and is now available for developers.

After kicking off the rollout a few weeks ago, Google says the Gemini for Home replacement of Assistant on smart speakers is now available within a day of opting in, at least for those in the US who can access it.

A recent report claims that Google is preparing to inject its ever-more-popular Gemini AI tools with advertisements, but Google is adamant that there are “no plans” for ads in Gemini.

In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Google’s big Gemini for Home voice assistant update doesn’t just work on Nest devices, but several third-party Google Assistant speakers too!

With Gemini in Chrome and the upcoming availability of agentic capabilities, Google is detailing how the browser will protect against threats.

Over the past few months, especially, Gemini has taken over everything Google, with Assistant having largely vanished. Yet, in most cases, the biggest upgrade I’ve felt from Gemini is just the lack of Assistant being so awful. But there is one big exception, and that’s with Gemini on Android Auto.

Just over a month after launching an early access program, Gemini for Google Home is coming to a new wave of users in the latest rollout.

After previewing last month with the launch of Gemini 3 Pro, the new Deep Think mode is now available for Google AI Ultra subscribers.

Following Android and iOS last month, the Gemini web app is getting its redesign, with Google aiming for a “clean, modern look.”

The Gemini for Home voice assistant started rolling out at the end of October, with Early Access availability currently quite limited. A trick today does not enable the new LLM-powered assistant, but does give you access to the new Gemini voices.

Since the launch of Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro, Google looks to have limited what free users can access in response to high demand.

Following the announcement at the start of November, Google Maps is beginning to roll out navigation with Gemini. It joins availability in place listings, which is getting an update, and is coming soon to Lens.

The most important thing Google announced last week is generative UIs. Fully embraced by Gemini 3, I think generative AI and interfaces will lead to a new generation of apps, but not in the way you think.

The last visual update to the Gemini overlay introduced a four-color glow, and Google now looks to be switching to a fullscreen animation.

On a support page, Google is hinting that the end of Google Assistant is nearing, with the Gemini takeover apparently completing in March 2026 when Assistant will no longer be accessible… at least on Android Auto.
