Google also has introduced 10 new voice types for Gemini Live.
Apart from this, Google has introduced new AI-generated summaries in Google Maps, along with an AI Overview feature in Google Search which includes video capabilities.
The video feature available in Search Labs is experimental and it allows users to record a video using Google Lens to receive AI-generated overviews as a response to the video’s context.
For example, its possible for users to record a cooking video and ask for assistance.
Google made the AI Overviews feature available to all users earlier this year, after testing it in Google Search as part of its Search Generative Experience (SGE).
Now it can summarise key information along with relevant reference links. This can replace the traditional method of listing multiple website links upfront.
