It was the first TV to launch with Google Gemini, it has a presence sensor that can turn on its ambient mode to show artwork (much like an art TV), and TCL claims it's capable of up to 6,500 nits of brightness.

November was the month AI went full gladiator mode: three frontier labs released their best models within a week, Google reclaimed the throne with Gemini 3, and open source proved it can win Olympic gold medals in mathematics. Meanwhile, the agent revolution became official doctrine at Microsoft and Google, and China's AI ecosystem hit escape velocity with 10 million app downloads in seven days.

Going a step further, users can now shop right inside Gemini and, when searching for products "near me" in AI mode, can access a "let Google call" button. As they browse, Gemini will prompt them for more specifics, and on the backend, call nearby stores to determine availability, price, and information on any special promos.

Now, I can do that thanks to the AI's latest skill. New skill available to all Unveiled on Wednesday, Gemini's Deep Research mode can now pull information from your personal or work Google account. Specifically, the AI can analyze and research your emails from Gmail, your documents from Google Docs, your files from Google Drive, and your conversations from Google Chat.

Clearly, it has a social consequence when you have fewer journalists; clearly, it has a social consequence if the ability to write books in a meaningful, sustainable way is undermined. And there are people who are aware of that, Sam Altman, Sundar Pichai at Google, Tim Cook, you can talk with them in a way that they understand their business needs to have this constant creative flow,

Both Google and Apple are cramming new AI features into their phones and other devices, and neither company has offered clear ways to control which apps those AI systems can access. Recent issues around WhatsApp on both Android and iPhone demonstrate how these interactions can go sideways, risking revealing chat conversations beyond what you intend. Users deserve better controls and clearer documentation around what these AI features can access.

GM announced that "eyes-off" highway driving is coming to its electric Cadillac Escalade SUV in 2028. The company is also integrating Google Gemini and conversational AI into its vehicles next year. GM said its eyes-off technology will allow drivers to read or respond to texts, and relies on LiDAR technology.

Gmail's "Help me schedule" feature utilizes Gemini to automatically set meeting times with people whose calendars you cannot view. According to Google, this feature should eliminate the need to send multiple emails to coordinate meeting times, especially with people who don't make their calendars visible to others. This feature only works when both participants are communicating via Gmail and using Google Calendar to schedule meetings. Additionally, this feature is limited to scheduling meetings with individual contacts, and does not work for multiple people or group meetings.

Gemini's chatbot appears on the right-hand side of Sheets. Now, when you ask how to manipulate data, Gemini will respond with suggested formulas and step-by-step instructions about how to make the formulas work - and why the formulas fail when they do. Errors will be followed up with a guide for how to correct the issue, Google says. If multiple formulas can do the same thing, Gemini will explain the options to the user.

People are already using AI to write emails and documents -- some even suspect their friends are using ChatGPT to write heartfelt texts, too. In that vein, Gemini is coming to Google Chat, Google announced on Tuesday. The AI assistant can refine messages and catch grammar or spelling errors for Google Chat users. Google also highlighted Gemini's usefulness when composing a message to a large group, a stakeholder, or someone communicating in a second language.

But it excels at something far more powerful, and potentially sinister-editing existing images to add elements that were never there, in a way that's so seamless and convincing that even experts like myself can't detect the changes. That makes Nano Banana (and its inevitable copycats) both invaluable creative tools and an existential threat to the trustworthiness of photos-both new and historical.

The new Androidify app lets you make your own bot avatar, but it does so based on your own photo or text prompt, meaning it has an incredibly deep level of customization. Google says the app uses a combination of tools to create your bot -- Gemini 2.5 Flash to caption the photo, Imagen to generate your custom Android bot, and Veo 3 to animate your bot with different vibes.

The number of people who turn to these three AI-powered chatbots grew from March to June this year, according to the latest stats from analytics provider Comscore. Though all three of the major AIs enjoyed growth, one left the other two in the dust. For the three months , use of Microsoft Copilot surged by 175%, making it the fastest growing chatbot of all. In second place was Google Gemini with a gain of 68%, followed by OpenAI's ChatGPT with an increase of 18%.

With the Galaxy Watch8 Series, Samsung is doing just that. For the first time ever, a smartwatch features Google's Gemini AI built in - not as a voice assistant you have to dig for, not as a cloud service that lags behind - but as a native, on-device intelligence layer that powers everything from workouts to grocery lists to urgent work messages.

Gemini CLI is an open-source AI assistant from Google, designed for terminal use, enabling developers to interact with the Gemini 2.5 Pro language model seamlessly in their command line workflows.
