Google Drive's Gemini feature takes care of lengthy corporate videos by performing analysis for you.
Starting May 28, Google Drive users will experience a significant enhancement with the rollout of the Gemini AI update. This update brings video content summarization and action item extraction capabilities to Google Drive, making it easier for users to quickly access and understand the content of long videos.
The Gemini AI model, previously introduced to Google's Workspace environment late last year, is being extended to handle video content in Google Drive. With this update, users can now upload video files (up to 2 GB per clip, with minute limits depending on subscription) for Gemini to process and analyze directly.
Gemini's new capabilities allow it to transcribe or interpret video content using advanced AI analysis, including a large context window of up to 1 million tokens, for comprehensive understanding. This enables the system to summarize main points and extract a clear list of action items mentioned in the video.
Users can interact with the update by clicking Gemini's starry icon, which will display a text box with the summarized content of a video. The system also allows users to summon Gemini using the "@" symbol to direct it to specific folders, such as "summarize the files in @AndroidCentral."
The update is part of Google's broader Workspace enhancements, which also include PDF and document summarization, priority categorization of tasks, and cross-referencing multiple file types to boost productivity. It is being rolled out for Google Workspace customers, including Standard and Plus versions of Business and Enterprise, Google One AI Premium, and various add-ons like Gemini Education and Business.
The aim of this update is to make it easier for users to quickly access and understand the content of long videos. By providing concise summaries and explicit action item lists, Gemini functions like a personal meeting assistant or content summarizer. This update is expected to save users valuable time and improve productivity.
For Rapid-release domains, the update will be available from May 28. Scheduled-release domains will see the update by June 16. This update is part of the large Workspace Drop that occurred earlier this year, which included an update for Drive that integrated Gemini for AI-generated transcripts for videos.
Action items are direct calls for the viewer to do something, such as finalizing a campaign schedule or securing a location. By identifying and listing these tasks, Gemini simplifies the review and follow-up processes, making it easier for users to take action based on the content of the videos they watch.
In summary, the Gemini update in Google Drive provides video content summarization and action item extraction. It transcribes or interprets video content using AI with a large context window for comprehensive understanding, summarizes main points, and extracts a clear list of action items mentioned. It delivers these summaries within the Google Drive interface or the Gemini chat experience, thereby streamlining review and follow-up processes.
The Gemini AI update, now extended to Google Drive, enables users to upload videos for AI analysis, offering capabilities like video content summarization and action item extraction. This means users can quickly access and understand long video content, with Gemini's advanced AI system identifying actionable tasks within the videos, simplifying review and follow-up processes.
