Google’s releasing major AI features!

🚨 Our Report 

At its annual developer conference—Google I/O 2025—Google spent nearly two hours announcing and demoing a plethora of groundbreaking AI features and products (most of which are launching imminently).

🔓 Key Points

• Google has launched AI Mode for Search in the US—which processes complex search queries—and is testing Deep Search, which searches multiple websites, and Personal Context, which makes suggestions from past searches.

• It demoed AI shopping updates, including a virtual try-on feature, an agent that tracks item availability, an agentic checkout, and a feature where users can describe what they’re looking for and get a variety of options to review.

• It also announced an updated Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is “its most powerful model yet” for complex tasks, coding, and math, and can do things like turn sketches into full applications (but is just available for “trusted testers”).

🔐 Relevance 

Other notable announcements (most will be released in the Summer) included:

• Imagen 4: Google’s latest text-to-image generator that can now accurately generate and display text and typography in its graphics (AI models are notoriously bad at this).

• Veo 3: Google’s updated AI video generator that has “a stronger understanding of physics when generating scenes,” and can generate accompanying sound effects, background noise, and dialogue.

• Google Meet Translations and a 3D conferencing platform: The translations feature will translate different languages (in real-time) during meetings, matching the speaker's voice and tone. The 3D conference feature will present 3D versions of meeting attendees.

• Gemini Workspace updates: Gemini’s personalized smart replies will be further integrated into Google’s Workspace products (which include Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides etc..) and will use context from other Google apps to match tone, voice, and style when generating its automatic responses/suggestions.

🧰 The Tools, Templates & Playbook for Your AI Consultancy

The AI consulting market is about to grow by a factor of 8X – from $6.9B to $54.7B in 2032.

But how does an AI enthusiast become an AI consultant?

How well you answer that question makes the difference between just “having AI ideas” and being handsomely compensated for your contribution to an organization’s AI transformation. 

Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone – our friends at Innovating with AI have welcomed 700 new students into The AI Consultancy Project, their new program that trains you to build a business as an AI consultant.

Some of the highlights current students are excited about:

• The tools and frameworks to find clients and deliver top-notch services

• A 6-month plan to build a 6-figure AI consulting business

• Students getting their first AI client in as little as 3 days

🚨 Our Report

At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 9th, Apple will reportedly reveal plans to let third-party developers build software and applications using the Large Language Models (LLMs) that power its Apple Intelligence features.

🔓 Key Points

• It’s developing a Software Development Kit (SDK) that will allow developers to integrate Apple Intelligence features—like notification summaries, text editing, and basic image creation—into their own apps/software.

• Initially, Apple’s SDK will just open its smaller models (which can run on local devices) to third-party developers, rather than its advanced, cloud-based AI models, because they are more complex and require servers.

• Before this, developers were able to integrate some Apple Intelligence features into their own applications (eg. AI writing tools and image generator), but haven’t had access to the models that power these features.

🔐 Relevance

This move is undoubtedly part of Apple’s broader strategy to catch up with competitors in the AI field: The launch of Apple Intelligence last year led to disappointing reviews, delays and setbacks, and a lack of usage, so, by extending its AI technology to the wider developer community, Apple hopes to boost its AI reputation and gain a stronger foothold in the AI race.

• NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, has questioned the effectiveness of Joe Biden's AI export controls to China, establishing that the restrictions have not just hurt NVIDIA financially, but also accelerated China’s AI development.

• “Four years ago, at the beginning of the Biden administration, NVIDIA’s market share in China was nearly 95%. Now, it’s 50%. If Chinese researchers don’t have NVIDIA chips, they’ll just use their own tech.”

• He warned that if US chip providers, like NVIDIA, aren’t allowed into China, local customers will just spend elsewhere, meaning the US could potentially forfeit up to $50B if restrictions aren’t lowered.
