Google just added Short Video Overviews to NotebookLM, turning your densest research docs into 60-second, vertical explainer videos. It builds on the tool's runaway hit audio podcasts, aiming straight at visual learners and social scrolling habits. Ultra and Pro subscribers get access now on mobile and web, with free users coming soon.
Google just rolled out its Search information agents to AI Ultra subscribers across all AI Mode languages and markets. Users can instruct AI Mode to monitor any topic, and the agent will run 24/7 in the background, pinging users with detailed summaries and web links as soon as new information breaks. It turns passive search into an active tracking assistant, with broader rollout planned for later this summer.
Google just integrated its Google Developer Program premium perks directly into Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions at no additional cost. Pro tiers now receive $10 per month in Google Cloud credits, while Ultra subscribers get $100 to spend on Vertex AI, Cloud Run, or Gemini API usage. The move helps developers transition prototypes from chat prompts directly to production without unexpected infrastructure bills.
Google Labs just doubled the monthly AI credits for Google AI Ultra subscribers from 12,500 to 25,000, giving creators twice the runway for its filmmaking tool Flow and image experiment Whisk. Flow has already generated over 100 million videos since May, while Whisk is expanding into 77 more countries. Why it matters: Google is sweetening its top-tier AI subscription with serious creative firepower to keep up with competing video generators.
Google just introduced Google AI Ultra, a premium $249.99/month subscription offering its highest usage limits and top-tier models. Subscribers get early access to Veo 3, the new Flow filmmaking tool, Project Mariner agent, and 30 TB of storage, while existing AI Premium plans are rebranded to Google AI Pro.
