Trying to cut down on daily clutter? Here's how Gemini's ‘Scheduled Actions' can handle your routine tasks for you
1. Get your email summary every morning
If you dread opening your inbox, this one is for you. Just ask Gemini to send you a summary of your unread emails every morning. You can even tell it to highlight messages from your boss or skip those endless newsletters. It is a small change, but it means you can start your day with a clear idea of what needs attention.
2. Weekly plans from your calendar
Gemini can pull together all your calendar events for the week and give you a neat summary. If you have appointments in different parts of the city, it will add up the travel time using Google Maps. This way, you can see your week at a glance and plan better without flipping between apps.
3. Answers when you need them
Sometimes you want to know something as soon as it happens, like who won the latest Grammy for best album or when a new review for your favourite game drops. You can set Gemini to check and send you the answer after the event is over. It is a simple way to stay updated without having to search yourself.
4. Regular reminders and searches
If you are looking for a new flat or following cricket scores, you can ask Gemini to check for updates every week and send you a summary. Right now, it is good for basic routines, but Google is hinting that more powerful options are on the way. What you should know before trying it Scheduled Actions is only for paid users, so you will need a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription.
You can schedule up to 10 actions at a time, whether they are one-off or repeating.
If you set a location-based task, Gemini will use the location from when you created the task, even if you move later.
You can see your scheduled tasks in the Gemini app by tapping your profile and going to Settings. From there, you can pause, delete, or cancel any task you want.
Right now, Scheduled Actions is best for simple things like email summaries, weekly planning, or getting updates on events. It is not perfect, sometimes Gemini might skip a task, but a quick follow-up usually sorts it out. For those who already use Gemini, this new feature is worth a try, especially if you are looking to cut down on daily clutter and let your phone handle some of the load.

Google's Veo 3 arrives in the Middle East, bringing hyper-real AI video generation to Gemini users
Google's Veo 3 enables Middle East creators to generate hyper-realistic AI videos from text prompts on the Gemini platform./ Image: GoogleArabia/X Google has officially rolled out Veo 3, its latest AI-powered video creation tool, to Gemini users across the Middle East, marking a major expansion in the region for its generative media technology. Now available to paying users of Gemini, Veo 3 allows people to generate cinematic video clips from simple text prompts, complete with synchronized sound, music, dialogue, and realistic visuals. Veo 3: From Prompt to Production Initially unveiled at Google I/O 2024, the company's annual developer conference in May, Veo 3 has quickly drawn attention for its high realism, advanced physics simulation, and precise lip-syncing capabilities. 'From prompt to production, Veo 3 delivers best-in-class realism, physics, and lip syncing,' said Eli Collins, Vice President of Product at Google DeepMind, during the launch event at Google I/O. Users can input a short description of a scene, such as "a foggy street in old Tokyo with neon lights and light rain," and Veo 3 responds by generating an eight-second, 720p video that integrates ambient sound, spoken dialogue, realistic effects, and visual elements that closely mirror the input description. According to Collins, Veo 3 not only performs standard text-to-video generation, but also supports image prompting and introduces a new benchmark in responsive AI video design. He wrote in a blog post: 'Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing,' highlighting its strengths in realism, responsiveness, and user control. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo Competing with Sora and Raising the Bar With its ability to generate native audio, including background noise, soundtracks, and voiceovers, Veo 3 positions itself as a direct rival to OpenAI's Sora, which is also in the race to dominate the generative video space. What sets Veo 3 apart is the combination of multi-modal generation (text, image, sound) and its physics-aware rendering, making it capable of crafting scenes that feel lifelike and cinematic, whether it's for a dreamlike short film, a product concept, or even a viral meme. One example that gained popularity on social media involved a surreal AI-generated clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti, which drew attention across platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Transparency Through Watermarking To ensure content authenticity, all Veo 3 videos come with an embedded SynthID watermark, Google's invisible digital signature designed to label AI-generated content. This helps in tracing and verifying the origin of synthetic media, particularly in an era of increasing deepfake risks. In addition to the hidden watermark, Veo-generated videos, except those created by Ultra-tier members using Google's new Flow filmmaking platform, will also carry a visible watermark to clearly indicate that the video was AI-generated. Google is also testing a SynthID Detector tool to help individuals and platforms identify synthetic media with greater ease. Expanding Global Access Having made its debut in other markets earlier this year, Veo 3's launch in the Middle East opens the door for regional creators, filmmakers, marketers, and digital storytellers to explore high-end AI video creation without the need for traditional equipment or editing tools. The rollout is part of Google's broader strategy to integrate generative AI into everyday creative workflows, especially through its Gemini platform, which continues to gain traction among professionals and hobbyists alike.

Meet UPSC topper who used AI for preparation, cracked UPSC CSE twice, became IAS officer with AIR..., name is...
IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj (File) UPSC Success Story: While most aspirants throng coaching center to cover the gigantic syllabus of UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE)– one of the toughest recruitment exams in India– a few adopt novel approaches to prepare for the tough recruitment test. One such individual is IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj, a young IAS officer from Uttar Pradesh, who used a completely different approach to prepare for UPSC CSE, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance his subject knowledge and prepare for the final interview. Who is IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj? Born in Uttarawali, a small village in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district, Vibhor Bhardwaj was bright student from his early school days, and earned his MSc degree in Physics from the Hansraj College, Delhi University, and soon began preparations to clear the UPSC CSE and realize his lifelong dream of joining civil services. Vibhor Bhardwaj picked Physics as his optional subject for the UPSC exam, but instead of traditional coaching centers, relied on online classes and self-written notes to prepare for the tough recruitment test. His efficient preparation strategy enabled him to quickly prepare for UPSC CSE prelims, and cover the entire UPSC Mains syllabus within a span of just seven months. In an interview, Bhardwaj revealed how he carefully studied previous UPSC CSE question papers, and used these as a guide to strategize his preparation. He also focused on daily news and current affairs, in addition to regular mock tests, which further sharpened his knowledge. How Vibhor Bhardwaj used AI to crack UPSC? Interestingly, a key part of Vibhor Bhardwaj's UPSC preparation was the use of AI tools like Google's Gemini, which he used for mock interviews. Vibhor revealed that these AI chatbots acted like teachers for him, helping him identify his strengths and weaknesses. The AI mock interviews faced him with a wide-range of questions, which sharpened and strengthened his preparation for the actual interview. IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj AIR Ultimately, Vibhor Bhardwaj's hard work and dedication paid off when he cracked the UPSC CSE in 2022 with an All India Rank of 743. However, this rank could not ensure him an IAS post, so he tried again in 2024; this time jumping 724 ranks to secure AIR 19 and achieve his dreaming of becoming an IAS officer.
