Google has upgraded NotebookLM so users can transform research notes into fully animated cinematic videos. The new feature combines several AI models, including Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3, to automatically craft narrative, visual style, and format. Currently limited to English, users over 18 with a Google AI Ultra subscription can generate up to 20 videos per day. This rollout follows recent enhancements to Google’s AI video tools such as Veo and Flow, and a demo of the Project Genie generator. Leggi di più

Google has released Project Genie, an AI tool that creates playable interactive worlds from prompts or images. The experimental service, offered through the AI Ultra plan at a high monthly cost, has prompted users to generate worlds resembling popular titles such as The Legend of Zelda, GTA 5, and Kingdom Hearts. Analysts say the launch has contributed to sharp declines in the stock prices of several game developers and publishers, including CD Projekt Red, Take Two Interactive, and Nintendo. Critics argue that the technology threatens creative integrity, could lead to layoffs, and may strain hardware demand, while gamers express strong opposition to AI‑generated games. Leggi di più

Google has opened its Project Genie platform to users outside the company, allowing them to generate and explore AI‑driven 3D worlds. Participants must subscribe to Google’s AI Ultra plan, which costs $250 per month, be U.S. residents, and be at least 18 years old. The service offers three interaction modes—World Sketching, Exploration, and Remixing—using the Nano Banana Pro model to create initial sketches. While Genie produces game‑like visuals and simulates physical interactions, it does not include traditional game mechanics, and each generation is limited to 60 seconds at 24 frames per second in 720p resolution.

Google has unveiled Project Genie, a research prototype that transforms a photo or text prompt into a short, interactive 3‑D world. Users can explore each generated environment for up to 60 seconds, remix pre‑built scenes, and download video recordings of their experience. The tool runs on Google’s AI Ultra subscription, which costs $250 per month, and is currently accessed only through a dedicated web app. While Genie showcases impressive generative‑video capabilities, it also suffers from input lag, limited session length, and evolving content restrictions that have blocked some third‑party references.

Google DeepMind has launched Project Genie, an experimental AI tool that lets users create interactive game worlds from text prompts or images. The service is now available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the United States. Designed as a research prototype, Project Genie combines DeepMind's latest world model with image‑generation technology to produce explorable environments. The rollout aims to collect user feedback and training data as DeepMind advances its world‑model research, a key step toward more capable artificial intelligence. Early users report both impressive creations and notable limitations, especially around realism and navigation. Leggi di più
