Google has been ramping up pressure for employees to use AI tools. Staff say it's a 'no brainer' for getting ahead at the company now.

Google introduces the Pixel 10 series with Android 16, highlighting Gemini AI tools like Magic Cue, Camera Coach, NotebookLM integration into Screenshot, and more. Here's what they'll do

Health Coach is powered by the company's Gemini AI model and functions as a fitness trainer, sleep coach, and health and wellness advisor — all-in-one. It can analyse data and adapt itself based on the user's personal health and wellness metrics, providing tailored goals based on real-time metrics collected from Fitbit or Pixel Watch.

Of course, Google’s latest Pixel lineup is far from an existential threat to Apple’s iPhone. According to research firm Canalys, Apple’s iPhone made up 49% of US smartphone shipments in Q2. Samsung accounted for 31%, while Motorola had 12%. Google devices made up just 3% of shipments.

Google Docs will now let you generate an audio version of your documents using AI. In a post announcing the rollout, Google says you can customize Gemini’s AI audio output with different voices and playback speeds.
