24 Best Tips for Using Google AI in 2024

Save time

1. Ask what’s on your screen. Gemini on Android helps you make sense of what you’re seeing. Turn on the Gemini interface and select “Ask about this screen” or “Ask about this video” to get app, article, image, or video guidance.

2. Summarize long email threads. Can’t remember what an email thread is about? With Gemini in Gmail, you can quickly get the gist. For example, say “Summarize emails from Maywood Park Elementary School” to see key points. Available for Google One AI Premium and Workspace Labs subscribers.

3. Skip voicemail. On Pixel 9, enable Call Notes so AI creates a brief call summary and full transcript after the call ends.

4. Personalize Gemini assistance. The latest Pixel Drop update allows you to save information in Gemini Advanced. 

5. Let your Pixel filter calls. View real-time call transcripts with Gemini on Pixel to decide whether to answer.

6. Search photos in Google Photos using voice queries. The Ask Photos feature lets you find specific photos or information about them by asking questions in natural language.

Plan

7. Use Gems as personal assistants. Gems are personalized versions of Gemini tailored for specific needs. For example, you can create a Gem for event planning by specifying budget, guest count, and deadlines, so you don’t have to re-enter this information.

8. Rehearse difficult conversations. Nervous about an important call? With Gemini Live, you can practice and feel more confident.

9. Get help packing. Tell Gemini where you’re going and for how long, and it will suggest a list of items to pack.

10. Find travel inspiration. In Google Maps, you can ask, for example, “Cozy restaurants for groups” or “What to do at night with friends,” to discover new places.

11. Virtually try on dresses. Google Shopping now offers virtual dress try-ons on models with different body types.

Learn

12. Learn with interactive quizzes. Provide Gemini with topic information and ask it to create a quiz to test your knowledge.

13. Get help with homework. In Chrome, you can use Google Lens to search and study information without switching tabs.

14. Translate text by circling it. The Circle to Search feature lets you translate text simply by circling it on your Android device screen.

15. Refine your prompts. Improve your AI prompts by following Gemini’s suggestions and using the “@” symbol to add additional context.

16. Listen to discussions about your work. NotebookLM lets you explore uploaded materials through AI-generated audio overviews.
