Gemini can now watch and analyse videos in Google Drive
Google has said that their Gemini AI can now watch and analyse videos in Google Drive to offer insights to users. Gemini was already integrated in Drive and could summarise documents or folders and gather and analyse data. In case users have missed a recorded meeting, they can ask Gemini to highlight the important cliff notes from it instead of watching the entire video. The tool works based on Google's auto-generated video captions and is accessible only from the Gemini overlay in Drive or in the standalone Drive file viewer. But if the Google Workspace account is managed, the admin could have disabled automatic captioning. If Gemini still doesn't understand the captions, users will need to go to the Manage Caption Tracks setting to generate them. The feature is also available for Google One AI Premium users and will be gradually rolled out to Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons subscribers.

Now, Gemini AI can answer questions about videos saved in Google Drive
Google is bringing an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered feature to Drive, which would analyse video files to answer question and to give a summary about them. Until now, this feature has helped users by summarising documents and PDFs in Google Drive while eliminating the need for users to go through the files themselves. Now, it would eliminate the need for users to go through lengthy meeting recordings or classes and present them a summarised version of the video. According to an official Google Workspace blog update published on May 28, 2025, users can now leverage Gemini within Google Drive to generate summaries and ask questions about videos saved in their accounts. This includes requests like: Summarize this video List action items from this meeting recording What are the highlights from this announcement video? By using Gemini, users can extract key insights and information efficiently, saving significant time and effort that would otherwise be spent manually reviewing videos. Availability and rollout schedule Google is deploying this update gradually. As per Google, the complete rollout of this feature is expected to culminate on June 19, 2025. The feature is currently available in English for Google Workspace and Google One AI Premium users, and anyone who has previously purchased Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons. However, it may take a few weeks to fully roll out, as mentioned above. How to use Gemini for videos The new feature is accessible through Google Drive's overlay previewer or a standalone file viewer opened in a new browser tab. Currently, it is available only in English and requires that captions be enabled for the videos in the user's domain. For administrators, smart features and personalisation must be enabled to grant users access. More details and instructions are provided in Google's Help Center. End users can activate Gemini by double-clicking a video in their Drive and selecting the 'Ask Gemini' option, symbolised by a star icon located at the top right corner of the viewer interface.

Samsung shoppers race to get free tablet as retailer hands out freebies with S25 Ultra
The newest deals in town give Samsung S25 Ultra shoppers which has already been reduced in price by a number of retailers Samsung's S range phone is often considered one of the best and in the latest flurry of deals shoppers can now cut the price. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the flagship device and one of the best phones Samsung offers thanks to its big, bright screen and speedy internals. Samsung shoppers can now snap up some bundle deals. is offering a handful of freebies through its website, including a free Samsung Galaxy A9 tablet. Although this does depend on the model picked, as we explain below. For a limited period, the site is also offering six months of free Google One AI Premium with S25 Ultra purchases, on top of all the other freebies shoppers can bag with the phone. This means Samsung fans can get their hands on a whole host of new freebies when they pick up the S25 Ultra. is also running an enhanced trade-in for a limited time, meaning shoppers could pocket more cash by trading in their old device to save money on contracts or tariffs. One of our top picks is a 200GB deal from Vodafone with a Galaxy A9 Tablet, and six months of Google AI Premium for £50 upfront and £53 monthly. In total, shoppers will pay £1347 with the data and the freebies included. When users compare it to the £1249 price tag on Samsung, it's a fairly good offer with the free tablet, data and other extras, reports the Express. But if shoppers want to look elsewhere, there's also Carphone Warehouse, which has a range of other deals to explore. And for Apple fans, Giffgaff also has a reasonable monthly price on its iPhone 16 Pro with a £24 a month plan with a slightly more expensive £25 upfront cost if users want to shop around. Tech critics at The Daily Express nearly awarded the S25 Ultra a high score when reviewing the model. Tech editor David Snelling said: "Samsung has done it again and produced another spectacularly good smartphone. The Galaxy S25 Ultra looks great, features a stunning 6.9-inch screen, a brilliant camera, long battery life, and that supremely quick Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. "It also gets all of those Galaxy AI upgrades that can organise your life, retouch your photos, chat to you like a human and bring live football scores straight to the home screen." Nonetheless, not every aspect of the device was met with adoration by David, who commented: "It's all clever stuff, but for some, it might just be a bit too smart. "There's so much Artificial Intelligence now included it can all feel slightly overwhelming, and only power users (and true AI geeks) are going to get close to scratching the surface of what this device can really do. "That doesn't make this a bad phone. In fact, it's a very good phone. It just feels like all of Samsung's development is going into the software rather than boosting the hardware. Perhaps the AI boom for smartphones is because there's nothing else manufacturers can add or improve. You might ask yourself why you need a new phone at all - they say AI is the answer. "If the brilliant S24 Ultra gets the S25's Galaxy AI upgrades - and the price continues to fall due to its age - that might also be a better bet."

Google launches VIP-level AI subscription service
Google is adding a new artificial intelligence subscription service that offers exclusive access to the company's most "cutting edge" AI products. Called "Google AI Ultra," the new plan includes the highest usage limits and access to its latest AI models and premium features, the company announced Tuesday at its annual developer conference Google IO. At $249.99 per month, the subscription plan also includes early access features to experimental products as well as a YouTube premium subscription. "It's for people that want to be on the absolute cutting edge of AI from Google," said Josh Woodward, head of product incubator Google Labs and the Gemini app. The plan offers a "massive" 30 terabytes of storage, he said. Google charges for some premium versions of cloud services and AI products under a tier called "Google One AI Premium," which can cost between $19.99 and $149.99 per month depending on storage size. Google AI Ultra could attract premium users willing to pay a larger price to use Google's products as the company tries to monetize its AI products and diversify revenue streams amid market changes. Alphabet's revenue growth from advertising, while still strong, has decelerated in recent years. That's in addition to facing the growing threat of users increasingly shifting to search for information on AI chatbots created by companies like OpenAI's ChatGPT. OpenAI last December launched ChatGPT Pro, a $200 monthly plan that allows "scaled access" to OpenAI's best models and tools. Google AI Ultra includes the company's flagship AI app Gemini with the newly-announced Gemini 2.5 Pro "DeepThink" mode, which can be used for deep research, Woodward said. It will also include the new filmmaking AI tool Flow, and note-to-podcast tool Notebook LM with the highest limit. It will continually include "a lot of other early access features," Woodward said. The Ultra plan also includes more experimental projects like Project Mariner, an agent research prototype that can help a user do up to 10 tasks simultaneously, as well as the latest Gemini models and early access to its Veo 3, the company's newly announced video generation tool, the company said. The Ultra plan will be available in the U.S. starting Tuesday, and rolling out to other countries in the coming months, the company said.
