Google introduces pioneering 'Gemini Drops' for AI advancements
**Google Introduces Powerful AI Feature for Enhanced Productivity**
Google has unveiled a new AI feature, dubbed Gemini, designed to revolutionize search and productivity. The latest iteration of Gemini is the 2.5 Pro model, which has been integrated into Google Search’s AI Mode and various Google AI subscription plans.
**Capabilities of Gemini AI**
Gemini AI offers advanced reasoning and problem-solving capabilities, capable of handling complex queries including coding and math questions. It performs hundreds of linked searches, synthesizes disparate information, and generates comprehensive, fully-cited research reports to save time on in-depth projects, studies, or decisions like buying a house and financial analysis.
The agentic AI features of Gemini automate recurring or monotonous tasks, such as finding local events or summarizing unread emails. This agentic mode also supports multi-step task management with minimal oversight, called Agent Mode or Project Mariner (coming soon for desktop).
Gemini AI can also make business calls on your behalf to retrieve information about availability and pricing, reducing the need for you to make calls yourself.
**Wear OS Integration**
Google is integrating Gemini AI assistance on Wear OS 4+ devices, enabling voice commands and intuitive interactions from your wrist.
**Subscription Plans**
Access to Gemini AI features is primarily available through Google AI Pro and premium AI Ultra subscriptions. The Google AI Pro subscription offers access to AI Mode, selection of Gemini 2.5 Pro for advanced use cases, and some Deep Search capabilities. The Google AI Ultra subscription, priced at $249.99 per month, offers the highest usage limits for Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deep Search, AI calling in Search, Project Mariner agent mode, NotebookLM with best model limits, 30 TB storage, and YouTube Premium included.
**New Features**
In addition to these features, the July Gemini drop has expanded Veo 3’s capabilities, enabling users to create 8-second videos with sound. This feature is currently only available to AI Pro or Ultra subscribers. Gemini Live is now offering the highly requested feature of real-time captions during conversations. The Circle feature on Gemini’s free tier can now help with gameplay while playing Android games, in addition to its search capabilities. Google is also introducing a new Planner Gem that integrates with Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, and Drive.
These new features are only available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google Search is receiving an AI upgrade, allowing it to provide more than just search results with AI Mode. The upgrade to the Circle feature allows for AI-powered conversations not just for searching products or items, but also while playing Android games.
In summary, Gemini AI is a powerful new AI model by Google enhancing Search and productivity with deep research, advanced reasoning, agentic automation, and business calling, available primarily through Google AI Pro and premium AI Ultra subscriptions.
The new Gemini AI model introduced by Google, available through Google AI Pro and premium AI Ultra subscriptions, includes advanced artificial-intelligence capabilities for handling complex tasks such as coding and math questions, performing linked searches, and generating comprehensive research reports. It also automates recurring tasks using its agentic mode.
Google's Gemini AI is not only revolutionizing search and productivity but also delving into technology like artificial-intelligence calling to retrieve business information, thereby reducing the need for manual calls.
