Google’s Gemini AI is making strides in enhancing user experience with the introduction of two highly anticipated features: “Ask about this screen” and the ability to summarize YouTube videos.
These new functionalities are poised to seamlessly integrate into the Google ecosystem, offering users a more efficient and informative way to interact with their devices.
No more confusions thanks to Gemini
Ask about this screen is a feature that allows users to query Gemini about any information displayed on their screen. Whether it’s a document, webpage, or image, Gemini can provide summaries, answer questions, or offer insights based on the content. This feature is particularly useful for quickly extracting key information from complex or lengthy documents.
Yet, some people like umang on X did not really like it.
I opened a presentation in Google drive.
I didn’t realize I had Gemini open.
It gave a great summary of the content in bullet points.
This was my first experience with Gemini.
I then asked it to create images, but wasn’t impressed.
How has your experience been with…

Are you tired of noisy YouTubers?
Another exciting addition is Gemini’s capability to summarize YouTube videos. By analyzing the video’s content, Gemini can generate concise summaries that capture the main points and themes. This is a significant time-saver for users who want to quickly understand the content of a video without having to watch it in its entirety.
Moreover, Gemini’s ability to take notes on Meet video calls further strengthens its position as a productivity tool. Users can now have Gemini automatically generate summaries of their meetings, capturing important discussions and action items. This feature is particularly valuable for professionals who need to keep track of multiple meetings and tasks.

The Google ecosystem advantage
These new features seamlessly integrate into the Google ecosystem. Users can access them through Google Assistant, Google Search, or other Google products. This integration makes it easy for users to leverage Gemini’s capabilities without having to learn a new interface or platform.
Google Gemini’s latest features demonstrate its potential to revolutionize how we interact with technology. By providing users with the ability to ask questions about on-screen content, summarize YouTube videos, and take notes on video calls, Gemini is becoming an indispensable tool for productivity and information retrieval. As Gemini continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative features that will further enhance our digital experiences.
