4 ways to tackle household chores with Gemini

Google presents four ways to use Gemini for household chores: troubleshoot home repairs by photographing with the camera, plan meals and create shopping lists based on what you have at home, organize personal finances by photographing receipts, and compare larger purchases like cars or appliances. According to Google's research, over 86 percent of all AI interaction occurs outside of work, and the study estimates that saving 30 minutes per week per household would generate approximately $100 billion in annual economic value for the U.S.

DevFest is back

DevFest 2026 runs from October through December 2026 and is expected to attract nearly one million developers worldwide. Organized by Google's developer groups (GDGs) across more than 115 countries, the event centers on "Build, Secure, Scale: Developers and Builders in the Agentic Era" — how to build, secure, and scale applications as AI agents become more common. Participants gain hands-on experience with Google tools like Gemini, Google Cloud, and Firebase through workshops, codelabs, and agent-athons. The organizers emphasize both that building and testing has become easier and faster, but also that security and responsible AI must be equally prioritized.

The Gemini app is now available for Windows

Google has launched a desktop app for Gemini on Windows. The app lets you open Gemini directly from the desktop with a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Space) for quick assistance without interrupting your work. You can also use it for larger tasks, such as getting Gemini Spark — an AI agent — to handle multi-step projects, generate images, or edit video directly from the app. The app is lightweight and doesn't slow down your computer, and it's available globally for Windows 10 and 11.

4 ways Gemini makes administrative chores quick and easy

Google Gemini can help you navigate bureaucratic systems and administrative tasks such as driver's license renewal, tax filing, and applications for government benefits. According to Google's own research, administrative matters are a major reason people use AI, with approximately half of these conversations occurring outside office hours. Gemini can function as a translator for the often confusing language of government forms, break down step-by-step instructions, help you find the right agency, and explain eligibility requirements for various benefits. This way, it reduces what Google calls the "bureaucratic tax" — the time spent sorting through paperwork and regulations.

Proactive cyber defense for governments and enterprises

Google is launching the Fairwind Program, a limited access program for governments and enterprises seeking to use Google's most advanced AI tools for cybersecurity. The program provides access to a specialized AI model called Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber along with a tool called CodeMender, which can automatically find and repair security vulnerabilities in code in minutes instead of weeks. Google states that over 650 partners already participate, including government agencies, energy companies, and hospitals, and that the program is limited to internal cybersecurity defense teams to ensure responsible use.

Introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber

Google is introducing two new AI models from the Gemini family: Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber. 3.8 Flash is a general-purpose model that performs better at coding and autonomous agents than previous versions, while maintaining the same cost as its predecessor (0.75 dollars per million input characters). 3.8 Flash Cyber is specialized in cybersecurity and can find and fix security bugs better than larger competing models. According to Google, the Chrome team is already using 3.8 Flash Cyber and achieves 2.6 times more correct security fixes with it compared to other major models.

Introducing agentic video understanding with Gemini

Google is launching a new feature called agentic video understanding for its Gemini models (3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite). Instead of analyzing video at a fixed frame rate, the AI actively examines only the parts of the video relevant to the task by dynamically selecting between frames, audio, and transcripts. This reduces token consumption (computational cost) by up to 88 percent, lowers costs by up to 66 percent, and improves accuracy by up to 7 percent. The feature is particularly effective for long-form video and enables new capabilities such as detecting split-second changes, detecting anomalies, and counting objects in video.

Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash lets you build with more control

Google launches Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, an updated version of its AI video generation model now available via API for developers. The model can now analyze up to 10 seconds of video context instead of just one second, providing better visual consistency when extending videos. It offers new features including scene expansion, interpolation between first and last frames, 4K upscaling, and the ability to reference existing video to maintain character consistency. Developers can also create quick low-resolution previews for prototyping 60 percent faster and at one-third the cost compared to standard quality.

Intelligent transcription with Gemini 3.5 Transcribe

Google introduces Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a new speech-to-text model that converts voice directly into accurate, formatted text. It handles background noise, specialized terminology, and natural speech errors better than previous models — and can, for example, remove filler words like "uhm", fix self-corrections, and recognize over 85 languages. Developers can use it through two APIs: one for streaming speech and one for recorded audio, and it is already integrated into Google apps such as Gemini and Android Rambler.

Turn your voice into action with new productivity features in Gemini Live

Google Gemini Live is getting new productivity tools that let you control complex tasks entirely by voice. You can now tell Gemini what you want done, and it delegates the job to Spark, which handles multi-step tasks automatically — for example, you can voice your ideas out loud and Spark will create a structured outline in Google Docs. A new Daily Brief feature summarizes your day when you ask "What's my daily brief?", and you can also manage your email just by talking — sort, search, and delete messages without touching the screen. Gemini Live also remembers previous conversations and can pull information from Gmail, Calendar, Photos and other Google apps, so you can ask "What was the name of that restaurant we went to last summer?" and get the answer instantly.
