Welcome to the new era of AI. Wait, you’re probably already feeding off the brilliance of artificial intelligence. Well, at least according to Google Behind the twins ready to show us Gemini 2.0which Google said will enable agents to launch your phone or device and all of its apps on your behalf “Agent” AI.
Which makes the 2.0 a complete upgrade over the first example of Gemini introduced last December (though it took a few months to get there Android: and: iPhone: With Gemini 1.5)? First, it should offer faster responses based on your cues, while Gemini 1.5 can generate AI images with company images Image 3: model, the new version will also feature AI audio output 2.0. Google saidis that it is designed for AI agents.
If you haven’t heard the word before, think of agents or “agency” as multiple artificial intelligence models that communicate with each other. The idea is that AI can essentially take over your phone at your request : If you want AI to study your email. emails, make your reservation for your date and put it on your calendar, an AI agent should be able to handle that.
This “universal assistant,” as Google calls it, starts with Gemini 2.0 Flash, which will be available to all Gemini users starting Wednesday. If you have Gemini Advanced, you get a new tool called Deep researcha sort of AI agent that does all your internet-based research for you and then generates a big book report.The Google tool is supposed to allow users to “do their research” and generate reports in minutes let’s wait and see how many students try to pass these reports off as their own work.
Deep Research is technically an agent, but Google says more developers are also working on agent AI in their own apps.As for examples, the Mountain View, California-based company showed how Gemini 2.0 based on agent AI can create, evaluate, merge, and execute code on the fly.This is a new Jules tool similar to Microsoft’s current GitHub Copilot.
The company also promoted a video of Gemini 2.0 interacting with several Supercell mobile games such as Clash of Clans. The AI could read the screen and give advice on the current meta Squad Busters:. It can also remind players to complete their daily challenges to earn that sweet, sweet currency.No, the AI tutorial seems shallow, providing no advice or strategy , which you can search for yourself between games.
The real “agent” AI may be Google DeepMind’s long-awaited Project Astra, which Gizmodo has used in a past iteration Google I/O earlier this year. The tool is similar to Gemini Live, but with much more vision and commentary capabilities with your phone’s camera.The new iteration is supposed to result in better, more conversational dialogue work with Google SearchGoogle Lens and Google Maps.
There’s no word yet on when Astra will be available to more users.For now, the feature is just in testing, and parts of it will likely be rolled out to various Gemini products in the future.
Google’s Deep Research model should make you feel like a Google Search Pro with Gemini 2.0
The internet rabbit hole is deep, but Google says it has a new tool for you to dig into. If you can trust it, the company’s Deep Research tool creates a “research plan” first. , which is essentially an outline of a general report. It then goes through a list of websites it finds applicable before presenting it all in a multi-page report, which is supplemented by some with tables and graphs.It shows where it got its information right below.
The tool is available to all Gemini Advanced users in English starting today, and is currently only available on desktop devices such as Chromebooks or through a browser, though a mobile version will be available next year.
This whole process can take some time. For example, I asked Gemini Advanced to explore Deep Mind’s history with Google in 2014. Gemini presented its research program, including the early stages of DeepMind and funding through its academic publications.Google says you should select “1.5 Pro with Deep Research” from the drop-down menu, although it was not available in my account as of this writing.AI The chatbot insisted it knew what to do, so I prompted it to finish the report. I started waiting… and waiting.
Google’s blog says the tool should take “a few minutes” to complete its analysis. I asked Gemini Advanced how long the research would take. Gemini said it would take “6-12 hours to complete the report “.
The tool is obviously new, and the AI may not be accurate when it tells me the timeline, but I can’t help but laugh. The AI takes about as long as it would take your average undergrad to put together a last-minute report the day before. the night before it ends.
Google’s Deep Research runs on a larger Gemini model with a 1 million symbol context window, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily accurate. Google’s AI search can often pick up some sites that can may not be the most accurate or may represent sanitized information from untrusted websites.This is why Gemini tools remind users to “double check” all their answers below the text prompt.
