Gemini Live now connects to Keep, Tasks, Calendar and Maps: Here's how to check
While you can directly ask Gemini Live to access Google's first-party services, general commands like 'Do I have any reminders today?' also work. As you would expect from Gemini Live, the app access also works when you are sharing the screen with Gemini.
To see if Gemini Live can access Google apps, simply open the Gemini app, tap on the Live button that appears at the bottom right corner, and you will be able to see small chips for connected apps when Gemini Live is using them. For example, you can ask Gemini Live to check your events for the day, create a new one with your voice, and even point your camera at details like date and time and ask the AI chatbot to add it to your calendar.
As for Google Maps, Gemini Live can help guide you to a certain spot, and while it does not start navigation for certain events, the feature does create a link, tapping on which will start the navigation. Coming to Tasks and Keep, Gemini Live can now show your saved lists and add notes to Keep.
The new feature is currently available on both the Android and iOS versions of Gemini Live. And in case you are wondering, Gemini Live's integration with Google apps works for both free and paid Gemini users.

Perplexity AI offers Google $34.5 bn for Chrome browser
Perplexity AI offered Google on Tuesday $34.5 billion for its popular Chrome web browser, which the internet giant could potentially be forced to sell as part of antitrust proceedings . The whopping sum proposed in a letter of intent by Perplexity is nearly double the value of the startup, which was reportedly $18 billion in a recent funding round. "This proposal is designed to satisfy an antitrust remedy in highest public interest by placing Chrome with a capable, independent operator focused on continuity, openness, and consumer protection," Perplexity chief executive Aravind Srinivas said in the letter, a copy of which was seen by AFP. Google is awaiting US District Court Judge Amit Mehta's ruling on what "remedies" to impose, following a landmark decision last year that said the tech titan maintained an illegal monopoly in online search . US government attorneys have called for Google to divest itself of the Chrome browser , contending that artificial intelligence is poised to ramp up the tech giant's dominance as the go-to window into the internet. Google has urged Mehta to reject the divestment, and his decision is expected by the end of the month. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Perplexity's offer vastly undervalues Chrome and "should not be taken seriously," Baird Equity Research analysts said in a note to investors. Given that Perplexity already has a browser that competes with Chrome, the San Francisco-based startup could be trying to spark others to bid or "influence the pending decision" in the antitrust case, Baird analysts theorized. "Either way, we believe Perplexity would view an independent Chrome -- or one no longer affiliated with Google -- as an advantage as it attempts to take browser share," Baird analysts told investors. Google contends that the United States has gone way beyond the scope of the suit by recommending a spinoff of Chrome, and holding open the option to force a sale of its Android mobile operating system. "Forcing the sale of Chrome or banning default agreements wouldn't foster competition," said Cato Institute senior fellow in technology policy Jennifer Huddleston. "It would hobble innovation, hurt smaller players, and leave users with worse products." Google attorney John Schmidtlein noted in court that more than 80 percent of Chrome users are outside the United States, meaning divestiture would have global ramifications. "Any divested Chrome would be a shadow of the current Chrome," he contended. "And once we are in that world, I don't see how you can say anybody is better off." The potential of Chrome being weakened or spun off comes as rivals such as Microsoft, ChatGPT and Perplexity put generative artificial intelligence ( AI ) to work fetching information from the internet in response to user queries. Google is among the tech companies investing heavily to be a leader in AI, and is weaving the technology into search and other online offerings.

ChatGPT 5 Rival Claude AI Chatbot Gets New Memory Feature: How It Helps
Claude is the latest AI chatbot to get the memory feature but it is limited to those paying for the platform. ChatGPT 5 launch has got mixed reviews but its rivals are slowly becoming more useful for people. Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI chatbot, is bringing new features to make it more helpful and get more users to try it out. OpenAI and Grok have a close fight going on in the market but Claude is looking to make use of their rivalry to quietly build its own armoury. One of them is the ability to recall a conversation and allow you to start from where you left off. ChatGPT users got this feature a while back and now Claude users are also getting it this week. Claude Memory Feature: AI Remembers Claude confirmed the new feature via a post on X this week and also shared the details about which of its users can try it out. Anthropic is bringing the new option to its Max, Team and Enterprise premium users while the Pro users will get it later. The company did not say anything for the free users so it is likely to be a premium tool as of now. ChatGPT and Gemini offer the memory tool for all its users and the free users as well but Claude will keep them waiting for a few months. Offering features like these for free brings more people on board, something that Perplexity is heavily banking on with the free Airtel offer in India. At the same time you have Grok from Elon Musk that is bringing new features to more users and making them use it through the standalone app on their phone. Grok AI chatbot is now making its Imagine AI feature free for everyone, and available to Android users as well. Grok Imagine is another AI tool that helps you generate videos and photos using text or even voice prompts. OpenAI and Google have their own tools that create videos and images and now Grok Imagine makes it even more interactive, and let you convert still images into moving visuals. Musk has claimed over 44 million images have been created by Grok Imagine and it continues to grow. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 18:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

CEO of the AI startup whose 24-year-old founder left to join Mark Zuckerberg at $250 million salary wrote on social media: We look ...
The race for artificial intelligence (AI) supremacy has reached a fever pitch in Silicon Valley, with tech giants vying for a limited pool of elite researchers. The amount of money being offered to hire AI geniuses is mind-boggling, as tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI fight over a tiny talent pool in their race to achieve the next breakthrough. And the cutthroat competition doesn't look like it will ease anytime soon. Nobody in this rapidly escalating arms race is chasing the prized recruits quite like Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Meta CEO Zuckerberg is said to have tried to raid Silicon Valley's top research labs, dangling $100 million pay packages with the hopes of poaching top researchers at these labs. Zuckerberg is reported to be hiring with the help of the List, a document with the names of the top minds in AI. He is said to be himself spending his days weeding through papers, searching for hotshot engineers and scientists to recruit for his Superintelligence team. One such hire is 24-year-old AI prodigy Matt Deitke , whose recent $250 million compensation package from Meta Platforms Inc has sent shockwaves through the industry, redefining the value of AI expertise. Deitke, a former doctoral student at the University of Washington, dropped out of his computer science PhD program to become one of the most sought-after minds in AI. Meta's pursuit of Deitke began with a $125 million offer over four years, which the young researcher turned down. In an unprecedented move, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally intervened, meeting Deitke face-to-face and doubling the offer to a staggering $250 million, with up to $100 million payable in the first year alone. The package includes a mix of salary, bonuses, and stock. Vercept CEO on Matt Deitke joining Meta by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo In November 2024, Matt Deitke had founded Vercept along with several of his Allen Institute colleagues. The AI startup raised $16.5 million from investors such as the former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt earlier this year. This was till came Deitke's back-and-forth calls with Mark Zuckerberg. After Deitke accepted Meta's offer, Vercept co-founder Kiana Ehsani joked on social media, "We look forward to joining Matt on his private island next year." According to the company's website, Vercept was founded with the goal of radically rethinking how people interact with technology, aiming to replace the maze of menus and code-heavy workflows with a seamless, intuitive interface that feels like an extension of the user's mind. Mark Zuckerberg's AI 'hiring list' Mark Zuckerberg is said to be in a group chat with two Meta executives called 'Recruiting Party ' in which they discuss hundreds of potential candidates and tactics for approaching them—like whether they prefer to be contacted by email, text or WhatsApp. As a report in WSJ said that many on the List have three main qualifications: a Ph.D. in an A.I.-related field, experience at a top lab and contributions to A.I. research breakthroughs, one of the people said. "The recruits on 'The List' typically have PhDs from elite schools like Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon. They have experience at places like OpenAI in San Francisco and Google DeepMind in London. They are usually in their 20s and 30s—and they all know each other. They spend their days staring at screens to solve the kinds of inscrutable problems that require spectacular amounts of computing power," reads the report. AI Masterclass for Students.
