One aspect of AI that is rapidly developing is video generation, and Google has developed its Veo 3 model to focus on that. The tech giant has just added a new trick to Gemini and Veo, and that's the power to generate videos, eight seconds long, from a still image. It's not a new concept, but this is arguably the best execution of it yet.

If you do a lot of your work using Google apps like Google Docs and Sheets, Gemini could help increase your productivity.

Starting today, Google is bringing image-to-video generation to the Gemini app. The feature comes courtesy of the company's Veo 3 model, which Google began rolling out more broadly to AI Pro users last week after it was initially only available to AI Ultra subscribers.

Google’s Gemini app introduces image-to-video generation, allowing users to create videos from static images. Available for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Google is rolling out Gemini to Wear OS watches. The announcement is part of Google’s plans to replace Google Assistant with Gemini across all of its devices and platforms.

AI is becoming a go-to tool for PPC. But a test shows a 20% error rate across platforms. Advertisers need to vet their advice carefully.

Samsung and Google's partnership is still going strong, bringing Gemini AI features to Samsung's foldables lineup. At Samsung Unpacked, Google's senior VP of devices and services Rick Osterloh came onstage to announce Gemini-powered AI features for the new Samsung Z Fold 7.

Google made Veo 3 available for free to Pixel 9 Pro, added Gemini support to Pixel Watches, and brought gaming support to Circle to Search.

At the same time, most of Google’s Gemini-powered tools are still free on Samsung devices. New Gemini-powered tools are also free for the next six months for early buyers of the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. For now, Samsung is keeping core Galaxy AI tools free and giving users more certainty about what they can use without extra cost.

Google also announced that, starting with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, you’ll be able to long-press the power button and have Gemini take a gander at your screen while you’re scrolling. With live access to what you’re looking at, you can ask Gemini for help on stuff like product comparisons. Per Google:
