Gemini already has the power to help you find new ideas, conduct in-depth research, and create content for every project you take on. Now, Gemini can offer even more support—whether it’s editing a document in real time or turning your idea into a working code prototype.
Collaboration with Canvas
Canvas is a new interactive space within Gemini, designed to make creating, improving, and sharing your work easy. By simply selecting “Canvas” in the toolbar, you can write and edit files or code, with changes appearing in real time.
Easily create quality drafts and quickly improve your work with Gemini’s editing suggestions. Need to change specific points or entire drafts? Easily adjust tone, length, or formatting with quick editing tools. For example, select a paragraph and have Gemini make it more concise, professional, or friendly. Whether you’re writing a speech or need help editing a text, blog post, or report, Canvas can help you get the most out of your creativity.
Canvas is built to work easily in Gemini. If you want to collaborate with others on the content you just created, you can export it to Google Docs with just one click.
Design with confidence in Canvas
Gemini has already made programming and software development easier by helping you create, debug, and explain code. Now, Canvas further simplifies the process of turning your ideas into working prototypes for web applications, Python scripts, games, simulations, and other interactive applications. Canvas enables developers to quickly create initial versions of their projects and provides a place where students can easily learn basic programming concepts. Throughout the process, Gemini works with you to make incremental improvements to your code.
With Canvas, you can create and preview your HTML/React code and other web app prototypes so you can see a visual representation of your design. For example, if you want to create an email signup form for your website, you can have Gemini generate the form’s HTML code and see how it will look and work within your app. Easily request changes to input fields or add call-to-action buttons, see the updated preview instantly, and share your creations with others.
Canvas simplifies the entire programming process, allowing you to focus on creating, editing, and sharing your code and design in a single environment, without the hassle of switching between multiple applications.
Canvas is now available globally for Gemini and Gemini Advanced subscribers, in all languages where Gemini apps are available. Try these features by selecting Canvas in the prompt bar and start creating[1]Learn more at [https://gemini.google/overview/canvas/].
Give voice to your files with Audio Overview
There was incredible excitement around the Audio Overview on NotebookLM, which helps people understand complex information. Now Audio Overview is available in Gemini.
Audio Overview turns your Deep Research documents, slides, and even reports into engaging audio conversations, just like listening to a podcast. Gemini will create a conversation between two AI speakers who, with a single click, will start an in-depth discussion based on the files you’ve uploaded. They’ll summarize the material, connect topics, engage in a dynamic exchange of ideas, and offer unique perspectives.
Audio Overview enhances learning in a fun and productive way. Imagine uploading course notes, research papers, long email threads, or reports generated by Deep Research and receiving an Audio Overview that helps you summarize your files on the go!
Audio Overview is already rolling out to Gemini and Gemini Advanced subscribers globally in English, with more languages coming soon. To create an Audio Overview, simply upload documents or slides on a variety of topics and click the suggested option above the command bar. You can listen to these AI-generated conversations to gain new insights and stay informed, even when you’re multitasking. Audio Overview is accessible on the web and in the Gemini mobile app, and you can easily share or download conversations to listen on the go.
With these new features, Gemini becomes an even more effective partner, helping you bring your ideas to life. Try these features and more at gemini.google.com.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
