If you need help combing through your crowded inbox, Google has a solution: Gmail Q&A. "You can ask Gemini questions about your inbox or to do things like find specific details in your emails, show you unread messages, view messages from a specific sender, or summarize emails about a topic in your inbox," Google said in a blog post.

With Gmail Q&A on Android, Gemini Can Answer Questions About Your Inbox

Google integrated a Gemini side panel into Workspace apps like Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides earlier this year. The side panel on Gmail can help you find emails, fetch relevant information from within emails, perform sender-specific searches, and more. Formerly limited to the web version of Gmail, the side panel...

I'd trade lackluster smartwatches for resurgent fitness trackers in a heartbeat. Based on the most recent additions to the Versa and Sense series, it’s perhaps obvious that Google was never interested in keeping Fitbit’s smartwatch lines alive. Despite this, the company has been reluctant to clarify its plans for them; that is, until now.

One exciting reveal from the Made by Google 2024 event was the introduction of Gemini Live, Google's natural language AI assistant. It promises to go beyond the average chatbot with a range of features. The company claims Gemini Live is more than an amped-up version of Google Assistant, allowing us to carry on conversations similar to how we interact, as opposed to the question-and-answer style of the current assistant.

Samsung's Galaxy A35 5G is a well-rounded smartphone for $400. You'll love the two-day battery life, amazing screen quality, and four years of software updates. The biggest issue? Performance, which tends to vary from day-to-day and can lead to overheating. I'm actually surprised how much I enjoy using the Samsung...

This 10-week-old puppy was placed in Great Dog Rescue New England's care for unspecified reasons. She is currently living safely with a foster family while she awaits her future home.

"Baby why you gotta be so mean?" The zodiac is a fascinating system that many people turn to for insights into personality traits, behaviors, and compatibility. While every zodiac sign has its unique strengths and challenges, some signs are often perceived as being a bit more sharp-edged, vindictive or difficult (to say the least) to deal with. In this article, we'll delve into the four zodiac signs commonly considered the "meanest," exploring the characteristics that contribute to this perception and how these traits manifest in their interactions with others. To lighten the mood, we'll include some funny quotes about each sign's mean streak.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny six-pound dog named Alistair who is looking for his forever home. At only one year old, this little boy is a sweet dog who is thought to be a Maltese, "but we can’t make any guarantees that he would be suitable for those with allergies," explains the nonprofit animal rescue.

Listen, Google, it's time to give Messages an upgrade. I’m a creature of habit — when I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. I’m not ashamed to pick favorites, whether it’s primarily keeping a Google Pixel in my pocket (when I can) or a Garmin GPS watch on my wrist. The same goes for apps — especially ones I use daily for things like messaging and checking the weather. While I’m currently deciding on a new favorite weather companion (thanks to the debut of Google’s Pixel Weather), I’ve trusted the same messaging platform for years: Google Messages. It’s been my mainstay across Google Pixels, Samsung Galaxy devices, and even my time on the Motorola Razr and OnePlus Open.

With a growing list of extensions, Gemini is finally more just than a creative writing tool. If you rely on your phone’s digital assistant for automation or even just hands-free control, you may have hesitated transitioning from the Google Assistant to Gemini. The latter developed a reputation for lacking many of the Assistant’s features early on. However, Google will only support Gemini going forward and has even made it as the default assistant on the Pixel 9 series. Luckily, Google is bridging the gap between the Assistant and Gemini with “extensions” for Gemini that allow the chatbot to perform useful real-world tasks.

When Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series almost two weeks ago, I expected the new phones to ship with Android 15 preloaded. That’s Google’s newest Android update, which usually comes out before Pixel phones. However, Google did things differently this year. The Pixel 9 launch was two months earlier than past Pixel releases. Google seemingly wanted to have its AI phones in stores before the iPhone 16 arrived.
I explained in an earlier article that 2024 gives Google a unique opportunity to fight the iPhone. The arrival of AI has leveled the playing field in some respects, as most of Apple’s...

Google Assistant on your Android device lets you questions, launch apps, and perform different tasks. But there's another tool you might find more useful: Google Gemini. Google's AI can help you gain a deeper understanding of a topic through back-and-forth conversations or summaries in the form of a list, table, or chart. It can also help generate content, correct grammar, and translate other languages. You can ask Gemini to search Gmail, set an alarm or timer, make a phone call, turn off the lights, or take and analyze a photo.
