The Gemini app can now generate interactive simulations and models

Gemini can transform your questions and complex topics into custom and interactive visualizations — directly within your chat. Previously, responses were largely just text with static diagrams. Now, Google is delivering functional simulations that can help you better understand the topic you’re asking about.

Expanded NotebookLM capabilities for Education Plus and Teaching & Learning add-on customers

Google is increasing limits across NotebookLM features for customers with Google Workspace for Education Plus or a Teaching and Learning add-on license at no additional cost. Users with an add-on license will benefit from several upgrades, including increased source context, more engagement, expanded study tools, and more multimedia generation.

Gemini in Google Classroom is now available in all Classroom-supported languages

Google is beginning to expand availability to all Classroom-supported languages in which Gemini is also available. This expansion makes Gemini tools in Classroom increasingly accessible to educators and higher education students whose preferred language is now supported.

Edit your AI-generated scripts when you convert Slides to Vids

Now when you import Slides into Google Vids with Gemini enabled, you can see and edit your AI-generated scripts for each slide before completing the import, generating voiceovers, and applying animations. Previously, these edits could only be made after the import process was finished.

Gmail end-to-end encryption now available on mobile devices

Google is expanding Gmail end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to Android and iOS devices for Gmail client-side encryption users. With Gmail E2EE, your users can confidentially engage with your organization's most sensitive data from anywhere on their mobile devices while ensuring data remains compliant and with your organizations sovereignty and compliance requirements.
