Google Docs Android App Integrates Gemini AI ‘Help Me Write’ Feature

Google is enhancing its Google Docs app on Android with the introduction of the "Help me write" feature, powered by the Gemini AI model. This feature, which has been available on web versions of Docs and Gmail, is currently in development and includes a new toolbar icon for submitting writing requests. Although not fully operational yet, it aims to improve mobile productivity by allowing users to generate and refine text. The feature may also integrate with existing Gemini capabilities like summarization and rephrasing. The rollout faces challenges, including privacy concerns related to data processing and the need for effective language support, with plans for Gemini to be available in over 20 languages by June 2025. Access may require a Workspace or AI premium plan, and a full launch is anticipated by late 2025. This advancement could significantly impact mobile workflows in industries such as journalism and marketing, enhancing collaboration and document creation.

Google’s Mixboard brings Android users an AI boost for creativity

Mixboard is an AI mood board app by Google, currently available only in the U.S. through Google Labs as an experimental tool. Users can start from scratch or use templates, and the app generates images, layouts, text, and color palettes based on user prompts. It utilizes Google's Gemini AI and a new image engine called Nano Banana, which allows visual adjustments through simple text instructions. Users can also upload their own images for the AI to adapt. Mixboard is designed for brainstorming and is not intended to replace traditional design software like Photoshop or Canva. It aims to democratize the creative process by making it accessible to those without formal design training.
