We shared our approach to learning in the age of AI. Since our beginnings, we have led the way in helping people discover and understand the world around them. AI is enabling even more powerful and interactive ways for people to experience the world. So in November, we brought together education and technology leaders at our Learning in the AI Era event to dive into tools like Learn About and NotebookLM and discuss our approach to helping people to succeed in their quest for understanding. We also made LearnLM, a tool recognized for its potential to positively impact the world, available as an experimental model for early access through Google AI Studio.
We’ve launched new ways to help people buy gifts this holiday season.. There is no shortage of comparisons between in-store and online shopping, but AI is transforming both experiences. For example, Google Lens is used for nearly 20 billion visual searches each month, and 20% of those searches are shopping-focused. If you’re in a store, you can immediately take a photo, see reviews, find prices and local shopping options – and starting this holiday season, you’ll be able to search for products directly in Maps to find stores nearby who sell them.
We made the Gemini app available on iPhone. Our Gemini app is one of the most powerful AI learning modules and personal assistants available today. In November, we made Gemini available on iPhone so you can enjoy smooth, natural conversations with Gemini Live and get the most out of Google’s personal AI assistant. The launch also brings Gemini’s dazzling AI image generation capabilities, as well as the option of seamless connectivity to your favorite Google apps, like YouTube, Google Maps, Calendar and Gmail, all in a single conversation directly to your iPhone.
