It’s not only a platform, it’s the advanced developer you hope to team up with.

Imagen 4, Veo 3, Flow & Lyria: Creative AI Takes Over

With the help of Imagen 4, models can produce incredibly detailed images, fonts, and complex patterns. Veo 3 gives videos the power of synchronized audio and voiceover recordings. Flow helps you write, direct, and edit your own AI-powered films in a single package. Lyria makes top-quality songs, matches the lyrics, and changes its tone and mood according to the task at hand. All these tools work together to make Google a leader for people who make videos, visuals, and sounds.

Custom AI Models: Tailored for Every Industry

Google added a unique image model focused on fashion, so brands and designers can quickly create and visualize their collections. It helps speed up prototyping, gives more control over style, and transforms a creative idea into visual form, almost immediately. Now, whether in fabrics or finishes, style makers have more creative tools, thanks to AI.

Personalized Smart Replies & AI Overviews

Within Google Workspace now includes Personalized Smart Replies that copy your style, way of writing, and use of emojis. You communicate in your own words, no matter who you are writing to. Whether you’re being professional, casual, or somewhere in between, it adjusts to your tone and is expressive rather than merely predictive.

Thanks to AI Overviews Expansion, Google can now summarize information for a larger variety of topics and regions, so it’s easier for everyone to get the main points. Whether you’re investigating global events or specialist topics, the summaries will be concise, clear, and contextually relevant.

Gemini Diffusion: Next Gen Visual Intelligence

Gemini Diffusion is Google’s latest image generation service that helps turn your thoughts into precise and meaningful visuals. It was developed on top of Gemini 2.5 and now, in addition to making art, it can even comprehend it. It offers top-quality mockups and animated storyboards, giving clear ideas for your designs. Together with Imagen 4, it provides creators with the highest level of control and accuracy.

Google Beam: 3D Calling Arrives

Formerly called Project Starline, Google Beam is now bringing a new approach to video calls.
