Overview

• Google's Gemini AI now includes Canvas, a workspace for real-time document and code editing with live previews, designed to streamline collaboration and iterative improvements.
• Audio Overview, previously part of NotebookLM, transforms documents into podcast-style discussions, featuring dynamic conversations between two AI hosts.
• Both Canvas and Audio Overview are available globally for free to Gemini users, with Audio Overview initially limited to English and Canvas supporting coding previews on the web.
• Canvas allows users to refine specific sections of text or code, adjust tone and formatting, and export content to Google Docs for further collaboration.
• These updates position Gemini as a competitive alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Artifacts, integrating advanced AI tools into Google’s ecosystem.
