GM. The Dow Jones now feels like a meme coin … I think we went back and forth between “we’re so f*cked” and “we’re so back” five times this week. Always better to zoom out and take a deep breath. We carry on.

Gemini’s New Trick: Docs → Podcasts

Gemini released “audio overviews” that transforms your Google Docs into podcast-style summaries. The narrator will read your work back to you. This is Google’s latest attempt to integrate AI into your daily workflow.

Some clear use cases pop up for me:

• Transcribe your meetings, turn your notes into podcasts

• Listen to daily summaries of your work over voice at the end of the work day

Noticing a clear trend toward voice-first applications across the board. At the convergence of robotics, AI will inevitably walk and talk. As I’ve been hammering for years now, though, we must be pro-human as a society to create a net positive benefit.

As a small creative studio, we will use the voice-enabled Docs feature to improve our workflows and remove more mundane tasks so we can focus on being more creative. Simple as that.
