Google Launches Gemini Drops: Monthly AI Updates with New Features

Google has officially announced Gemini Drops, a new update program similar to Pixel Drops for Pixel phones. These updates will roll out monthly, bringing major enhancements and new AI-powered features to Gemini users worldwide.

First Gemini Drop Released in July 2025
The first Gemini Drop was launched in July 2025, introducing groundbreaking capabilities to enhance user experience. The most notable feature is Veo 3, which allows users to convert photos into dynamic 8-second videos with sound directly within the Gemini app. This innovative tool adds a new dimension to your favorite memories and images, making them more engaging and interactive.

Gemini Now Available on Wear OS Smartwatches
In addition to mobile devices, Gemini is now compatible with all Wear OS 4 and above smartwatches, bringing AI-powered assistance right to your wrist. This means you can get instant answers, set reminders, and access Gemini’s features without needing your phone—offering a new level of convenience and productivity.

New Productivity Features
The update also introduces Scheduled Actions, a feature designed for automating repetitive tasks. For example, you can set Gemini to provide a daily morning briefing with calendar updates and unread emails, helping you start your day in a more organized and efficient way.

Another exciting addition is the Productivity Planner Gem, which consolidates your emails, calendar events, and other data to simplify task prioritization and improve workflow management.

Enhanced AI Performance with Gemini 2.5 Pro
Google has upgraded the Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model, significantly improving its performance in coding, science, reasoning, and multimodal benchmarks. This means more accurate, intelligent, and comprehensive responses to complex queries, pushing Gemini’s capabilities to a higher level.

Live Captions for Better Accessibility
One of the most requested features—Live Captions for conversations with Gemini—is now available. This makes it easier to follow AI interactions in noisy environments or when silence is required, ensuring a more accessible and user-friendly experience.

Availability and Pricing
These updates are available globally without a fixed price, as costs for the Gemini app and related services vary depending on geographic location and subscription plans.
