Let others easily book time with you using the new pre-configured Google Calendar booking page
Google is introducing a new way to access all your booking pages directly in the Calendar side bar. With this launch, users who don’t have an appointment schedule set up yet will see a pre-configured booking page entry in the Calendar side bar that makes scheduling 1:1s with external users much easier. The pre-configured booking page is based on your working hours, and it will automatically update to avoid conflicts on your calendar.
Incorporate information from Calendar, Tasks, and Keep in your conversations with Gemini Live
Last month, Google announced the ability to conduct in-depth two-way conversations with Gemini Live. You can use Live to brainstorm ideas, explore new concepts, and more. You can also engage in these conversations by visually sharing your screen or camera and providing specific context through images, uploaded files, or YouTube videos. With the latest launch, you can reference Calendar, Tasks, and Keep in your conversations with Gemini Live.
Google is unveiling a new image editing model from Google DeepMind in the Gemini app. Just give Gemini a photo to work with, and tell it what you'd like to change to add your unique touch. Gemini lets you combine photos to put yourself in a picture with your pet, change the background of a room to preview new wallpaper or place yourself anywhere in the world you can imagine. Once you're done, you can even upload your edited image back into Gemini to turn your new photo into a fun video.
Edit your Google Drive videos in your browser, using Google Vids
Users now have a quicker way to start editing right from Drive, using Google Vids. With this launch, when a user is previewing their video in Drive, there will be an "Open" button in the upper right that will open the video in Vids. Vids will automatically open the video file, and from there you can further edit as you see fit. For example, you can then trim the clip, add music, add text, and much more.
Adding image support to Gemini in the side panel of Google Drive
Users have been able to use Gemini in the side panel of Google Drive to summarize one or multiple documents, interact with PDFs, have focused conversations about a specific Drive folder, create files and folders, and more. However, until now, this functionality was text-based only and did not account for images saved in your Drive. Now, Gemini can now answer questions or give you summaries about images in Drive.
