🆕 Google’s Latest AI Additions!

Google’s Gemini AI is finally getting more multilingual!

What started as an English-only voice chat is now expanding to French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, and Spanish.

These languages should be available to all users within the next couple of weeks.

But as for the other 40 languages, Google teased, let’s say they’re still playing the vague “coming weeks” card—so, sit tight.

And if you’re a fan of Google’s AI-generated search summaries, then you should know they’re about to get a bit...commercial – yep, Google is rolling out ads in its AI Overviews.

So now, when you search something like, “How do I get grass stains out of my pants?” you'll not only get some handy tips but also see product suggestions to help with the task.

These products will appear under a “sponsored” header, and according to Google, they’ll only show up if your question has a “commercial angle.”

So, no worries—if you’re just curious about grass stains for science, you won’t be bombarded with stain remover ads.

Oh, and Google is also giving its AI Overviews a facelift.

After some testing in August, they found that featuring cited web pages more prominently on the right side of the summary actually drove more traffic to those sites.

So, yeah, they’re sticking with that format because why not help the sites that provide the information?

And for foodies, there’s another bonus!

Google is introducing AI-organized search pages for recipes and meal ideas. Instead of just giving you a list of links, the AI will create a custom results page packed with relevant info.

Currently, this is only available on mobile in the U.S., but if having a little AI sous chef while browsing for dinner ideas sounds appealing, give it a go!

The cool part about all these is how fast this has all happened.

Gemini was first shown off in mid-August alongside the Pixel 9 series as an exclusive feature for subscribers. Then, just a month later, boom—it’s free for all Android users.

But not everything is moving at lightning speed.

Remember those handy Gemini extensions Google promised back at I/O for Calendar, Tasks, and Keep?

You know, the ones where you can snap a pic of a recipe and have it make a shopping list for you? Yeah, those. Google is still saying, “Soon!”—which, let’s be real, could mean next week or next year.

For now, we’ll enjoy what is available while we wait and hope Gemini’s other superpowers show up sooner rather than later.

📸 Transform Your Video Marketing with Captions' New AI Tool!

Captions, an AI-powered video editing app, has just unveiled an innovative tool!

It’s an AI-powered social media manager for websites that not only schedules video content for publishing but also creates videos for those dates based on relevant topics to your site.

The tool scans your site to pull content, keywords, service offerings, and key selling points of a site, and boom! It creates a content plan just for you.

It also takes relevant seasonal trends into account, so no worries there.

For example, this tool can help a small cafe spotlight chefs and items from a dish or generate videos about services offered by a dental clinic. Pretty useful, right?

However, you should know that it primarily focuses on Instagram Reels and TikTok.

But that’s unsurprising because Captions specializes in video creation and editing. The company did, however, say that it will explore other formats in the future.

And for the agelong worry that AI-generated videos are taking away authenticity from creators, Gaurav Misra, CEO of Captions, assures that’s not the aim of this tool.

He explains that business owners already have many tasks, but this new tool will help them create quality content without the hassle of learning video recording and editing.

Do you need that help? Check out more details about this tool here.

🤖ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Craft the best Sponsor Outreach Email

Sponsor outreach is a very crucial part of monetizing your business.

However, it can be tricky to find the right words that will catch the interest of potential sponsors.

Here's a prompt that can help you with that. 

Write an email offering a sponsorship opportunity for a podcast. You'll compose this email as follows:

1. Write a subject line that is attention-grabbing and clearly states the purpose of the email.

2. Start with a polite greeting, addressing the recipient by name if possible.

3. Introduce yourself or the company you represent. Briefly explain your role and your enthusiasm for their podcast. Mention a specific episode or segment that particularly resonated with you to personalize the introduction.

4. Transition from the introduction to the sponsorship offer. Explain that you see great potential for a partnership and outline what the sponsorship would entail. This includes details such as the type of promotion (pre-roll, mid-roll, or post-roll mentions), potential reach of the podcast, and any demographic information that might be relevant to the recipient’s brand.

5. Detail the benefits to the recipient. This could include increased visibility to a specific target audience, potential for increased engagement or sales, and any successful past partnerships you've had with similar podcasts.

6. Clearly state what the next steps are if they are interested. This could involve setting up a meeting to discuss details, providing a media kit for further information, or any other relevant action.

7. End the email with a polite closing. Thank them for considering the opportunity and sign off with your name and position.
