Google introduces the Pixel 10 series with Android 16, highlighting Gemini AI tools like Magic Cue, Camera Coach, NotebookLM integration into Screenshot, and more. Here's what they'll do

Google has been ramping up pressure for employees to use AI tools. Staff say it's a 'no brainer' for getting ahead at the company now.

Health Coach is powered by the company's Gemini AI model and functions as a fitness trainer, sleep coach, and health and wellness advisor — all-in-one. It can analyse data and adapt itself based on the user's personal health and wellness metrics, providing tailored goals based on real-time metrics collected from Fitbit or Pixel Watch.

Starting today, Google Docs users will be able to turn documents into audio files, allowing them to listen instead of read. This can be especially helpful if you find listening to information easier to digest,

Of course, Google’s latest Pixel lineup is far from an existential threat to Apple’s iPhone. According to research firm Canalys, Apple’s iPhone made up 49% of US smartphone shipments in Q2. Samsung accounted for 31%, while Motorola had 12%. Google devices made up just 3% of shipments.

One of the more exciting live demos was the Google Pixel 10's new Voice Translate feature, which translates conversations in real-time. Fallon and Polinesia held a live conversation where Fallon spoke in English and Polinesia spoke in Spanish, and the Pixel 10 translated the conversation, matching their voices and tones.

Google wants to make the experience better for Docs users. Starting today, Google Docs has a new AI-powered Audio option that creates "audio versions" of your documents. What that really means is this: Google is using Gemini to generate more a natural and realistic text-to-speech experience. It works, but it's still far from perfect.

The move by Google and Oracle signals a future in which AI is no longer locked to a single provider’s platform.
