Introduction to Gemini’s New Features
Google has announced two new features for its flagship AI product, Gemini. The features, Canvas and Audio Overviews, are designed to enhance the user experience and provide more functionality to the platform.
What is Canvas?
Canvas is a new feature that allows users to draft, edit, and refine documents or code. It is available in the Gemini prompt bar on the web and mobile app. With Canvas, users can upload a document and ask Gemini to perform a specific task, such as generating a speech based on a PDF containing class notes. The AI will then produce a document that can be refined and edited within Gemini.
Editing and Collaboration
Canvas provides a range of writing tools, including suggested edits and different tones, to help users refine their documents. If further edits are needed or collaboration with others is required, the document can be exported to Google Docs with a single click. This seamless integration with Google Docs makes it easy to work with others and make changes to the document.
Audio Overviews
Audio Overviews is a feature that was first introduced in Google’s NotebookLM product. It has now been added to Gemini, making it an even more useful tool. Audio Overviews allows users to generate audio summaries of documents, making it easier to quickly understand the content of a document.
Coding with Canvas
Canvas is not just limited to document editing. It is also adept at coding and can generate prototype web apps, Python scripts, HTML, and more. Users can ask Gemini about the code, make alterations, and even preview their results in real-time inside Gemini as changes are made.
Conclusion
The new features added to Gemini, Canvas and Audio Overviews, provide a range of benefits to users. From document editing and collaboration to coding and audio summaries, Gemini is becoming a more powerful and versatile tool. With its seamless integration with Google Docs and other Google products, Gemini is an excellent choice for anyone looking to streamline their workflow and increase productivity.
