What Is It ?
Google AI Studio / Gemini Live
This platform provides an environment for prototyping and deploying AI models, with Gemini Live enabling real-time, low-latency voice and video interactions. It facilitates natural conversations by processing continuous streams of audio, video, or text, and offers assistance based on visual inputs like screen shares and webcam feeds.
NotebookLM
An experimental AI-first notebook from Google Labs designed to enhance how users interact with notes and documents. It acts as a virtual research and note-taking assistant, leveraging AI to efficiently extract, summarize, and work with various content types.
Replit
An online coding environment that integrates the Replit AI Agent, functioning as an AI-powered pair programmer and website builder. It allows users to create fully functional websites and applications by simply describing their ideas in natural language, removing the need for traditional coding.
Prompt Engineering
While not a tool, it's a critical skill involving the art of crafting precise instructions, or "prompts," to guide AI models toward generating accurate, relevant, and desired outputs. It is fundamental for maximizing the effectiveness of any AI tool.
Veo 3
Google DeepMind's advanced video generation model, now generally available on Vertex AI. It enables users to create realistic and high-quality videos from text or image prompts, with capabilities including the addition of native audio and dialogue.
