Major Update: Google Gemini Announced New Capabilities

Recently, Gemini has witnessed a significant evolution, with Google showcasing its enhanced capabilities at Google I/O 2025. The core theme of the developer conference was the deeper integration of Gemini, Google's family of large language models, across its entire ecosystem.

According to Google, a major highlight is the widespread availability of Gemini Live, which now includes camera and screen-sharing features. This allows users to introduce the ability to engage in dynamic conversations using voice. Users can now share their screen or camera feed, enabling Gemini to provide contextual assistance, such as recipe suggestions based on visible ingredients or on-screen content analysis.

The Gemini app itself has received substantial updates. It now incorporates Imagen 4, Google's latest image generation model, known for its high-quality visuals, improved text rendering, and speed. For making your ideas move, Veo 3 is in a league of its own. This state-of-the-art video generation model is the first in the world to natively support sound effects, background noises, and even character dialogue, enabling truly immersive video experiences from simple text prompts.

Furthermore, Deep Research and Canvas are getting their biggest updates yet, unlocking new ways to analyze information and create podcasts and vibe code websites and apps. According to Google, “With the Gemini 2.5 models, Canvas is now even more intuitive and powerful. You can create interactive infographics, quizzes, and even podcast-style audio overviews in 45 languages. But the magic of 2.5 Pro is its ability to translate complex ideas into working code with remarkable speed and precision. People are rapidly bringing entire applications to life from simple descriptions. Vibe coding like this dramatically lowers the barrier to creating software and makes prototyping new ideas faster than ever before.”

Furthermore, with the recent update, Gemini is transforming how you study with the launch of interactive quizzes designed to make learning more engaging. So, how can you use it? The answer is you just have to ask Gemini to “create a practice quiz on thermodynamics” and then dive into a tailored learning experience. As you answer, Gemini provides instant feedback, highlighting topics that need more attention.

Beyond the core app, Gemini's influence is expanding across a new premium plan, which includes two subscriptions: Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra, for the pioneers who want the highest rate limits and early access to new features in the Gemini app. Users can think of the Ultra plan as their VIP pass to Google AI.

“All these updates are driven by our vision to make Gemini the most personal, proactive and powerful AI assistant on the planet. We look forward to seeing what you do with it,” according to Josh Woodward, VP, Google Labs & Google Gemini.
