Google is pushing the boundaries of its AI capabilities with notable updates to Gemini, its powerful conversational AI. users can now experience AI-generated video content and leverage a new “Scheduled actions” feature, promising a more dynamic and personalized AI interaction.
AI-Powered Video Generation: Bringing Prompts to Life
One of the most exciting new features is Gemini’s ability to generate video content directly from text prompts. This groundbreaking capability allows users to visualize their ideas in motion, opening up a world of creative possibilities.Google showcased this new feature with a compelling example: an aerial shot of a dramatic coastline.The prompt, “Aerial shot of a grassy cliff onto a sandy beach where waves crash against the shore, a prominent sea stack rises from the ocean near the beach, bathed in the warm, golden light of either sunrise or sunset, capturing the dramatic elevation change and the serene beauty of the Pacific coastline,” was used to generate two distinct video clips.
While the exact technology behind this video generation is not fully detailed, it’s powered by “I see 3” and includes clips with sound effects, noises, and other audio elements, making the generated videos more immersive and realistic. This advancement signifies a major leap in AI’s ability to understand and translate complex descriptive language into visual and auditory experiences.
Scheduled Actions: Automate Your AI Interactions
Beyond creative content generation, Google has also rolled out “Scheduled actions” for Gemini. This feature allows users to set up predefined prompts to run at specific times or after certain events. With the ability to have up to 10 active scheduled actions at any given time, users can automate recurring tasks or reminders through their AI assistant.
Once a scheduled action is set, users will receive a mobile notification at the designated time. Tapping this notification will trigger the prompt and display Gemini’s response. Managing these scheduled actions is straightforward, with options to edit, pause, and delete them easily.

Gems: This feature allows users to build custom versions of Gemini tailored for specific tasks. By providing pre-defined instructions, users can create specialized AI assistants that excel at particular functions, making Gemini even more versatile.

These updates underscore Google’s commitment to evolving Gemini into a comprehensive and powerful AI tool that can assist with creativity, productivity, and everyday tasks. The introduction of AI-generated video and the practical “Scheduled actions” feature mark a significant step forward in making AI more accessible and useful for everyone.
