Hello and welcome to the Automated, your AI tour guide.

December 2024 is turning out to be the December to remember!

We’re swimming in AI goodies we’ve been itching to try, and nearly every tech giant has unleashed mind-blowing AI tools and models.

And just when we thought we’d seen it all, Google ups the ante with its shiny new flagship models and—wait for it—its very first AI agent!

Here’s what we have for you today:

  • 🤩 Google’s most ambitious AI yet!

  • 🆕 Google launches Project Mariner!

  • 😎 How to create a custom emoji with the Apple Intelligence feature Genmoji.

  • 👩‍🏫 Everything to learn about NotebookLM in under 13 Minutes.

  • 🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Write Email Subject Lines For Promotional Emails.

🤩 Google’s Most Ambitious AI Yet!

Google has just unveiled Gemini 2.0 Flash, their latest AI marvel aimed squarely at rivaling OpenAI's freshest innovations.

This isn’t just a text generator like its older sibling, Gemini 1.5 Flash. Oh no, this can whip up images, craft audio, and even use third-party apps and services.

Starting today, developers can jump in and start testing it out via the Gemini API and Google’s AI developer platforms, including AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Now, what makes this model stand out? 

For one, it’s fast. Like, really fast—twice as quick as Gemini 1.5 Pro on some tasks. And it’s not just speedy; it’s versatile too.

Gemini 2.0 can generate and modify images, narrate text in eight customizable voices (yep, you can even go full pirate!), and analyze photos, videos, and audio clips with ease.

But here’s the catch:

Those eye-catching audio and image features are on VIP status right now, available only to “early access partners.”

So, the rest of us will have to wait until January for the big debut.😔

Google is also determined to integrate Gemini 2.0 across the board. In a few months, we'll see Gemini 2.0 powering Search results and assist in Android Studio, Chrome DevTools, Firebase, Gemini Code Assist, and even Google Workspace.

And hey, they’re taking security seriously!

In response to the latest deepfake concerns, they’ve introduced a SynthID watermark.

This means that every piece of content generated by Gemini 2.0 will carry this watermark to ensure no one mistakes it for the real deal.

And here’s another thing: Google hasn’t released any image or audio samples yet.

So, for now, we’re left wondering if Gemini 2.0 lives up to the hype or if it’s just another overhyped tech launch.

If it delivers, though, Gemini 2.0 Flash might become the multitasking, code-crunching, image-creating, audio-spouting AI of our dreams or nightmares—depending on how you feel when you finally see it in action.

But for now, dive in and learn more about it—you know you’re curious.

 🆕 Google Launches Project Mariner!

Google’s Project Mariner is here to shake up the web.

Imagine having a Gemini-powered AI agent in your Chrome browser, expertly navigating websites, filling out forms, and performing tasks like a pro — That’s Project Mariner!

This revolutionary tool mimics human interactions, such as moving your cursor, clicking buttons, and capturing screenshots for cloud processing.

It's like having your own assistant at your fingertips; cool, right?

Currently available only to a select group of testers, Mariner is already making waves by helping users shop online, search for flights, and even discover new recipes.

However, it emphasizes user control by steering clear of sensitive tasks like entering payment details or accepting cookies.

Plus, your security remains a top priority!

What’s particularly fascinating is that Mariner operates exclusively in the actively viewed tab of Chrome, allowing users to watch its every move.

This thoughtful design promotes transparency, ensuring you’re always in the loop.

While publishers might welcome the traffic boost, it raises intriguing questions about AI’s future role in web navigation.

Could we see a day when AI interacts with the internet without needing traditional websites?

However, one thing’s very clear: this launch is just one part of Google’s grand vision to redefine how we use the web.

Discover how Mariner is reshaping the web’s future—read more here!

Here’s what you can do when your bank starts apologizing

You may have gotten a ‘sorry’ email from your bank, saying that if you had a 5% APY cash account, that privilege is being snatched away. And with interest rates set to keep sinking… where to pivot?
