Google’s annual I/O conference is set to kick off on Tuesday, and the focus is expected to be entirely on AI announcements. Building on its recent success with Android 16 upgrades, including the introduction of Gemini as a replacement for Google Assistant, Google has been making significant progress in the field of artificial intelligence.
The newest Gemini models have received updates, including improved coding abilities and enhanced image generation capabilities. Users can now access Audio Overviews, which allow them to turn research reports into interactive podcasts. This feature was previously available only on NotebookLM devices.
Google’s latest AI experiment, Illuminate, has been spotted by TestingCatalog, suggesting that a new Video Overviews feature might be coming to Gemini users in the near future. The feature would enable users to create short video summaries of any content, including books like “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Great Gatsby.”
In this video format, users could ask AI questions, which would result in a 1-3 minute video with audio commentary addressing the prompt. This technology has the potential to make complex concepts more accessible and engaging for audiences.
While there’s no confirmation on when Video Overviews will be available, it’s likely that users will need to subscribe to Gemini or pay for this feature separately due to its high cost. However, this advanced AI functionality is sure to bring a new level of excitement to the I/O 2025 conference and could revolutionize the way we interact with content.
Check out more samples from Illumine on X to see the potential of Video Overviews coming soon.
