I tried all the free Google AI things
for you. So, here's the cliffnotes
version to save you the thousands of
hours that I have spent using Google AI
products and I got to say that I'm
genuinely really impressed by what
Google has done in the AI space,
especially since most of their products
have very generous free tiers. So, that
is why in this video I'm going to
challenge myself to show you all of the
free Google AI things and I have to get
on a fight in literally 3 hours. So,
yeah, without further ado, let's get
started. And of course, as per usual,
there will be little assessments
throughout this video to make sure that
you retain all of the information that I
talk about. Okay, let's go. A portion of
this video is sponsored by Warp. All
right, here's a list of all the Google
AI features and products that we're
going to be going over today. Starting
with the Gemini web app, Workspace
integrations, Google AI mode, AI Vids,
Google AI Studio, Notebook Outlet,
Firebase Studio, Opel, and some honory
mentions like Vert.ex Studio, and
YouTube Studio. But before we get
started, I do want to give you a crash
course on Google's ethos surrounding AI
as well as their core family of AI
models because I think if you understand
this, you're going to be able to use
their products and features a lot
better. So, their ethos, well, okay, I'm
going to say like what I think their
ethos is cuz not like I'm their
spokesperson or something, but what I
think their ethos is is two primary
things. The first one is to seamlessly
integrate AI into their existing
products to have a better experience.
And two is to create outstanding
standalone AI products for major nieces
and just like daily life stuff probably
to try to get mass adoption by making
them essentially free. This is a
blueprint that Google has done with many
other product launches before. So it
makes sense. Now let's talk about their
core families of AI models. Starting off
with the Gemini family. So these are
their advanced multi-purpose reasoning
models with different versions that are
optimized for different task like Pro
for complex problem solving, flash for
best price performance balance and
flashlight for fast throughput. These
models are multimodal in their input and
their output. Meaning that they can take
in and output and reason with a lot of
different modalities including text,
image, code, video, and audio. Then
there is the Gemma family. These are the
open source lightweight models that are
designed for efficient execution. It
also allows Google to have a place in
the open-source world. Then there's the
embeddings models. These are models that
are able to convert data including text
and images into vector representations
for these tasks. It gets a little bit
technical but generally used by
researchers and for developers to do
things like complex searches,
classifications clusterings things
like that. The imagine model family is
for text to image generation including
things like generating new images,
editing existing ones or creating
specialized images for different types
of task. And finally, there is the VO
family of models. These are video
generation models where you can input
using text or images or combination of
both to create really cool videos. Now,
how does this relate to the actual
consumer products and features
themselves? All of the Google AI
products and features are built on top
of and in combination with these
families of models. So next time when
there's like news that comes out, it's
like, oh, crazy new model came out. You
will have a better understanding of what
that actually means in terms of your
usage of them. All right, time for our
first little assessment. Please answer
the questions on screen by typing them
into the comments to make sure you are
following along. All right, let's jump
into using the AI products themselves.
Starting off with the Gemini web app. So
this Gemini web app with its chatbot
interface is the most accessible way to
access most of Google's models and
capabilities. I am using the free
version over here. So you can start off
with just directly chatting with a
chatbot. Like what are some fun ways to
celebrate a million subscriber live
stream that are octopus themed? That was
really poor grammar, but I just want to
say thank you so much for a million
subs. Um just thank you so much for
being here. And yeah, when I get back
home I want to do a live stream that is
octopus themed to celebrate. So, okay.
Well, a huge congratulations. Thank you
very much. Okay. So, some interactive
games and activities include Octo
Pictionary, creating a custom list of
octopus or sea themed words and phrases.
Tentacle Tycoon using a pointsbased
system or channel currency. Releasing
the Kraken, uh, Submarine Survival, so a
lot of game themes. That is their
cosplaying and maybe some special
edition merch drops. Cool. You know
what? That sounds like a good idea. So,
let's do it. I'll make a post about it
after filming this video. So, yeah. This
is how you can interact directly with
the chatbot, asking it to come up with
things with you, search different things
for you, and plan different things for
you. Now, let's try out some of the
other AI models. Here, we were using the
2.5 Flash from the Gemini family. And
you can also have access to the 2.5 Pro,
which is for reasoning, math, and code.
Uh, but you do need to upgrade to get
the other more fancy Gemini models. Uh,
since this is the free tier, however,
what is really cool is that you do have
access to the nano banana model for
images. Also under the Gemini family,
you can do things like generate a
picture of a girl wearing octopus merch.
Oh, and that's actually quite cute.
Let's now try now wearing a t-shirt and
standing up.
And you can see that this is pretty
good. What is really impressive about
the Nano Banana model is that it's able
to have character persistence, meaning
that this person um actually looks the
same throughout generating different
images, which is a really big struggle
for previous models. You can also do
things like take an image here. This is
a photo of me and the CEO of YouTube. So
cool, right? So star struck. Um but
there is a lady who is in the back over
here of the image. So, I'm going to say,
"Can you remove the lady
in the back?"
And there you have it. Lady in the back
now removed. Really, really good. What
the heck? I'm just going to show you one
more which I think is cool. You can have
like say an image of yourself and like
an image of Naruto. Paste that in and be
like, "Dress me in Naruto's
outfit." cuz you know I always wanted to
cosplay but I don't know I've just been
too lazy so I guess I can live
vicariously like this. Yay! Look at me
dressed as Naruto. I really think that's
really really good. You also have access
to the canvas which is used for code
generation and for writing things. So
you can try something like create a
small game where a banana is gathering
other fruits.
I don't know. I'm literally coming up
with this on the spot. I have no idea
why I thought of that. So, yeah, it can
actually make code and you end up with a
game. Start game.
Yay.
Yes, there's actually quite a lot of
things that you can do here uh in order
to like change the UI of it and also add
other functionalities as well, but don't
have time to go into too much of this
right now. You also have access,
although limited access to deep
research, which is when you give it a
query, it would go and make a plan and
more deeply actually search up what it
is that you're asking it to generate a
report for you. For example, maybe you
want to know what are the different AI
trends that have the highest return on
investment to learn if I want to become
an AI freelancer and you click enter.
It'll give you a research plan and you
can click start researching. This may
take a little bit of time since it's
researching so many different websites
and so many different sources. So,
expanding the hamburger menu thingy over
here, you can click into explore gems.
Gems are specialized like customized
versions of the Gemini chatbot that is
used for specific task and purposes.
There are some that are already pre-made
by Google like a story book, a chess
champ, brainstormer, career guide. So,
let's like click on story book for
example, and you can write create a
story book
of a sad watermelon. Don't comment on my
examples today. Right. All right. While
it's doing that, looks like the deep
research has come back. So it says
freelancers edge in the AI native
economy, a guide to high return
investment trends and skills. Gives you
an executive summary and different
chapters. Like chapter one is the AI
joint transformation to freelance labor
market, winners and losers. Uh there's
like table of contents as well. So you
have chapter one uh chapter 2 earning
potential, high return investment,
technic specializations, chapter 3 and
chapter 4. So etc etc. There is a lot
over here. You can they have like tables
and like text and a lot of other things.
And also the the great thing is that I
also list all the sources that it has
over here. So you can read through it,
try to understand more, follow up with
it if you want to and always make sure
to check the sources if you're using it
for any other purposes to make sure that
it's not hallucinating. Gemini tends to
be pretty good at not hallucinating. Uh
but still there are times in which it
does hallucinate. So just do double
check your sources. Okay, let's now look
at the story book of a sad watermelon of
Wall-E the watermelon by lonely free.
Wall-ally the watermelon was the saddest
fruit in the whole garden. He sat all
day big and brown and green. Feeling
quite glum, he watched the other fruits
and vegetables. The carrots were always
racing to see who had grown the tallest.
The strawberries were busy turning the
brightest shade of red.
Okay. Etc., etc. Oh, okay. Okay. I think
it meets like a little friend. and and
oh no and then he got eaten.
I guess that made him happy.
I have no idea what's happening over
here. Anyways, that's an example of a
gem. Little pop quiz, put in the
comments. What is the pop out thing that
we have over here that was able to
generate this story book feeling and
sliding effect? Put it in the comments.
I did cover this feature already.
Anyways, you can also make your own gems
like a interesting
ice cream flavors. You are an ice cream
crafter that comes up with the coolest
combinations for ice cream flavors. Make
sure that you give real rationale for
why it makes sense and site your sources
too. Yeah. And now you have your
interesting ice cream flavors gem. And
you can be like, "Make me ice cream
flavor that is very sour."
Yeah. And it says, "Black lime and
passion fruit with a hint of saffron."
Yes. A beautifully pale yellow ice
cream. Generate a picture.
And this is what it would look like.
Wonderful. Okay. So, forgive me, but I'm
going to cheat a tiny little bit. All
right. So, I really want to show you
guys the VO model for generating video,
but it is a paid feature. So, all I'm
going to say is Gemini does usually
offer um like a one month free trial
that you can actually try out so that
you can have access to premium features,
including the VO model. So, yeah, it
counts. All right, cuz I really want to
show you this. The video generation
model is really cool. All right. So,
assuming you're on the one month free
trial, then you would also have access
to creating videos with VO and you can
say something like
create
video with sound of a keyboard hovered
in honey. How many of you guys have seen
the viral AI honey keyboard trend on Tik
Tok? Can listen to it.
ASMR.
Pretty cool, isn't it? Oh, yeah. You can
generate videos now as well, and they're
really good. Okay, going back to free
model. I want to show you guys a Google
Workspace integration. How's my inbox
looking? It is going to connect to
Google Workspace. And then it will say
that your inbox contains a forwarded
email from Hong Kong hikers about a mood
tracker preparation hike and also an
email with facts about octopuses. Show
me the contents of the email of the
octopus facts.
Yeah. So, this is in fact what's drawn
out over here. So, you can do things
like summarizing different emails if you
actually have a lot of emails in your
inbox. Uh, this is something that I
really do a lot. Let me show you my
inbox. This one has 110,266
unread emails.
This one has 15,763
and this one has 29,924.
Put in the comments if you're worse than
me.
So, the workplace integration is pretty
limited on the free version, but if you
do get the paid version, it can also do
things like draft emails for you. And
within the Gmail itself, it has like an
Ask Gemini little button thingy, and it
can do things like write emails for you,
summarize things for you directly on the
app. app. It also works with Google
Sheets where you can ask it to calculate
different formulas for you, write things
for Google Doc, generate slides on
Google Slides. Uh, but this is not
available on the free version. So, just
FYI. But as you can see, just on the web
app alone, there's already so many
things that you have access to on the
free plan. And I'm going to list now a
bunch of other ones. I'm put them on
screen right now. Take a screenshot of
this of all the other really useful
things that you can do using the Gemini
web app. And with that, time for our
next little assessment. Please answer
the questions and put them in the
comments. Gemini and Google AI can help
with research and brainstorming and even
vibe coding apps which is pretty
amazing. But when it comes to building
truly scalable and customized software,
I've been using a new type of dev
environment called Warp. Warp code is
kind of like cloud code times cursor but
with better UX and code editing
abilities. It's an agentic development
environment where in ADE basically it's
like the HQ for your AI project. You can
work alongside your agents, oversee
everything that they're doing and stay
in control. They recently launched Warp
2.0 IO and what it stands out to me is
how natural it feels to collaborate with
these agents in warp. It shows me
exactly what an agent changed. And if I
want something tweaked, I can reprompt
without leaving the Warp terminal. Its
intuitive user experience makes coding
with agents a lot less overwhelming. For
our team of engineers, it's really
helpful to use Warp's environment to
test and build software for our cohorts
and for our clients. Warp is currently
number one on Terminal Bench and 75%
which is top three on Sweetbench
verified and it's already being used by
over 700,000 engineers in places like
Netflix, Slack and Amazon. So if you
want to try it out as well, you can
download it for free and with my code
Tina, you'll get Warp Pro for only a
dollar for your first month. That is a
very good deal. So do check it out at
this link over here, also linked in
description. Thank you so much Warp for
sponsoring this portion of the video.
Now, back to the video
cuz next up, I want to talk about Google
AI mode. So, if you go on just
google.com and you type in something
like takoyaki recipes and click search,
you will get your, you know, takoyaki
recipes. But there is a tab over here
called AI mode. And this is going to
give you a lot more information and
details about takoyaki recipes. And it's
also going to site all the sources. This
is basically Google's reimagination of
Google search integrating with AI. If
you've used Perplexity before, this is a
very similar product. You can continue
the conversation and ask it what is the
simplest recipe possible
in the least amount of time. Yeah. And
it would just go through like all the
searching and things like that uh and
tell you the results here. So a question
that you might be asking right now is
Tina, how is AI search mode different
than if I just directly ask this
question on the Gemini web app and that
is an excellent question. It is true
that there is overlap between the Gemini
chatbot and Google AI mode. But the
difference is that Gemini chatbot is
much more multifunctional and it has
different integrations with other
applications. It also has more
creativity that's involved. While for
Google AI search, it really emphasizes
the search functionality. So everything
that you're getting back is going to be
based upon the actual sources that it's
finding on Google search and then
summarizing everything to give you the
best results possible. It often pulls
directly from the source itself. So
you're much less likely to see
hallucinations. For example, when I was
doing research on the different Google
family of models, I used Google AI mode
because I wanted it pulled directly from
the Google website in order to get the
most accurate information from Google
itself. Google AI mode does have the
ability of searching using images as
well and also has deep search which is
very similar to deep research but again
more search based. I'm going to put on
screen now some use cases and examples
that Google AI search is really useful
to do. So definitely check those out
yourself.
Moving on to our next Google AI products
which is AI Vids. AI Vids is Google's AI
powered video creation app. It allows
you to do things like producing videos
from text prompts, um, editing videos
together, and then reimagining videos
that already exist. Through AI vids,
you'll be using a combination of like
the VO model, the Gemini model, as well
as the imagine models for image
generation. Unfortunately, you are a
little bit limited on the free version
here. Like you can't go and actually
generate like full videos. But some cool
things that you can do is go on
templates and click trip highlights. And
here you can upload some of the photos
and the clips that you have from your
trip. Like for example, I have been in
North America for the past 2 and a half
weeks. I was in San Francisco, then
Vancouver, and then New York. So, I do
have a lot of photos from my trip and
maybe I want to send a trips highlight
video to my mom. So, I'm going to upload
all of these different clips and photos
that I have. Insert all scenes. And
voila, here is a nice little highlight
reel. Here are some editing
functionalities. And when it looks like
that it's ready to go, I'm going to send
it and share it with my mom so she
thinks that I have friends and I have a
life and I'm living a good life. I'm
going to put on screen now some of the
other cool and useful things that you
can do using Google Vids. Now, I'm also
going to put on screen now the next
little assessment. Please answer the
questions and put it into the comments.
Moving on to now I want to say my second
favorite Google AI product which is
Google AI Studio. I'll cover my number
one favorite one in just a little bit.
All right, let's now talk about Google
AI Studio. So, do not be intimidated
that there is a lot that seems to be
going on in Google AI Studio. Um, it's
actually very useful and I will walk you
through it. So, the primary thing is
that Google AI Studio is kind of like
the counterpart to the Gemini web app.
Like you're able to have access to the
things on the Gemini web app and a lot
more as well. You also have a lot more
granularity and control. For example,
say I have like a chat that's going on
over here. You know, you have access to
different models and you can do
something like give me some slogans of
my Venus by trap company.
Run that. Um, and it's going to do the
same thing over here, but you also have
control over things like the
temperature, which allows your response
to have different levels of creativity.
So, the higher the temperature, the more
creative it is. You also have some
advanced settings where you can add like
stop sequences. You can limit the output
length. Uh top P which is like another
way of controlling like what kind of
results that you're going to be getting
as well. So a lot more granularity
that's here. You can also enable Google
Drive which will allow you to save your
responses into Google Drive which is
something that you can't do on the free
plan with the Gemini web app. You also
have stream real time where you can talk
to Gemini live.
>> Hello. How are you doing?
I'm doing well, thank you for asking.
How about you?
>> I'm good. So, I want you to help me out
um because I'm trying to figure out when
is it that I need to leave to the
airport because my flight um is at 2:50
p.m. and it's currently 11:00 a.m.
>> Okay, your flight is at 2:50 p.m. and
it's currently 11:00 a.m. To figure out
when to leave, we need to go. Basically,
I'm right now um I'm in the meat packing
district in New York uh in in New York
City and I got to go to JFK airport.
>> Okay. Traveling from the meat packing
district to JFK airport can vary
depending on traffic, but it usually
takes around an hour to 1.5 hours. So,
yeah, it has the audio functionality and
you can converse with it in real time.
So, you might be like, "Okay, whatever
Tina, it's just like a chatbot like, you
know, audio functionality." But what you
can do is that you can actually share
your screen and have it like direct you
in terms of what's happening. Like right
now you can see the map. Is that
correct?
>> Yes, that's correct. I can see a map on
your screen.
>> What about this area? Like what is this
area over here?
>> That area is Brooklyn, which is one of
the five burrows of New York City. It's
located southeast of Manhattan across
the East River.
>> Okay, cool. So, um, if I wanted I guess
I don't have time to eat, but anyways.
So, yeah. What's really cool here is
that it's actually able to see like
where it is that you're pointing when
you're sharing your screen. You can also
have like video feed and chat with it
like showing it different things as
well. Some of my favorite use cases like
say I'm using Photoshop and I want to
like erase the turtle in the back and I
don't know how to do that. I will ask it
like directly how do I erase the turtle
in the back of this image and stream
real time is going to be able to direct
me like on where I should be clicking on
the screen in order to get the right
things and get rid of the turtle in the
back.
>> Okay. to remove the turtle in the back.
You could use the lasso tool to select
it, then use the contentaware fill
option to fill in the space.
>> So, it's great for for like directions
like that. You can also use stream real
time in order to narrate what's
happening in a video. Like, for example,
if I'm interested in knowing what's
happening in this football game, I don't
know anything about football. I can ask
it to actually narrate what's happening
in the segment of the video. What is
happening in this clip right now?
>> Okay. In the video, the players are
moving around the field and a player in
black is on the ground having just been
tackled. It looks like the player in red
and white has gained possession of the
ball. Also, the score is now Arsenal
zero, West Ham 1.
>> There are some other things that are
here as well. Like if you click on the
generate media tab, you'll notice that
you have access to the models like Nano
Banana, but you also have the imagine
model, speech generation, LIA, real
time, and VO and VO. So, you can do
something like generate a video of
cutting glass.
So, as you can remember, we were not
able to have access to VO on the web app
directly when you're just doing a using
the free version. But on Google AI
Studio with the free version, you have
access to VO and also a lot of other
different models there as well. So, it's
a nice little hack if you want to try
out the models. There's a lot more like
you can build applications. There's the
dashboard. You can try out the different
APIs as well. There's a lot of different
things. And I'm not going to go into
this too much more because I actually
made an entire video on Google AI Studio
where I go into a lot of detail about
all the features that you can do. It
really is amazing and you can check out
the video which I'll link over here. I
also put on screen some of the use cases
I really love when it comes to Google AI
Studio.
Moving on to Notebook LM. Okay, notebook
LM is hands down my favorite Google AI
product. As this tagline says, learn
anything. Notebook LM is for learning
things. And if you've been following my
channel for a while, you know that I
love learning things. The workflow is
super intuitive. You add different
sources um whether from like your drive,
different links, websites and copied
text and then you are able to chat with
the sources and get to understand it
more and then also transform it into
different versions like audio overview
like podcast uh video overviews, mind
maps and different reports as well. So
this is a way for you to dig deeper into
information, combine them together,
synthesize them together and really
transform that information. For example,
say I'm interested in learning about AI
agents. Well, instead of having to like
go through all the sources about AI
agents myself, what I can do is start
adding sources into Notebook LM. Like
for example, this is my own YouTube
videos that I've done. So, I have a
bunch of different YouTube videos on AI
agents. So, you know, I'm going to add
those because I think that they're good
and I don't want to watch them again
because I think that I'm biased, but I
think they're pretty good. So, there's
the AI agents fundamentals. This one is
building AI agents and this other one is
like a practical guide for how to build
an AI agent using NA10 as the tool. I
can also click the discover feature in
order to add more sources to this. So
sources about how to build AI agents um
and how they are used in industry.
Right? So I'm going to find all these
sources and add them in as well. So, I'm
going to add in some sources like how to
build and sell AI agents, what are AI
agents from IBM, building autonomous
agents, blah blah blah from Reddit as
well. And I can decide to add the ones
that I think are good. Like I think most
of these are pretty good. I'm not going
to add some of these because I feel like
they're not as reputable. So, I'll add
like the ones that I like and then I'll
import the different sources over here.
One of my favorite hacks with Notebook
LM is that you can actually also combine
it with deep research. Like for example
like I go on deep research over here and
I ask it generate a report on how AI
agents are being used in industry and
what is worth learning. Let it do its
thing and when it's ready I can go and
copy paste the results from deep
research and add it as a source as well.
So now I have a bunch of different
sources that are here. I can start
asking questions like what are the core
components of AI agents.
It will draw from all that information
from the sources and I can go on and
have conversations and dig deeper into
all the different sources that are
available as well. So this is really
really powerful for digging into it. Uh
these are the core components that um
are part of an AI agent. So AI model
brain blah blah blah like all these
different things and I can go and like
ask him more questions specific to the
the sources here. I can also select
specific sources to be exploring. So,
it's really really powerful to dig into
this and be able to really like learn
from all these sources without having to
like go over through it all of it
yourself. But there's even more than
this that you can do. If you look at the
studio tab over here, there's things
like audio overview that we can generate
a full podcast. There's video overview,
you can generate a mind map, and then
you can also generate reports like a
briefing doc, a study guide, FAQ, or
timeline. These are so amazing because
you're able to transform that
information a different way and interact
it in a different way as well. Like some
people who are audio people like me, I
really like generating podcasts and
interacting it with like that. Um, if
you want to like have this information
and make it into a study guide, you can
click study guide over here and it would
actually like give you a study guide for
how it is that you should go about
learning about AI agents. We can
generate an audio overview as well. And
here is the study guide. So part one is
core concepts of AI agents. uh it goes
through all the information AI agent
architecture and components. So it lists
out all of the different um types of
things. So it's like arranged in a way
that is really conducive for studying
and even adds a little quiz at the end
which of course you know that I'm a very
big fan of quizzes. Uh it really helps
you retain all that information. Also
gives you the answer key as well. And
here's a glossery of key terms as well.
>> Term AI agent just about everywhere
these days. uh boardrooms, tech blogs,
even just casual chats.
>> Yeah, definitely.
>> But what does it really mean? I mean, is
it just a fancier chatbot or is there
something, you know, genuinely bigger
happening here? Something that could
>> pretty cool. Um, you can even interact
directly with it. So, yeah, there's like
a lot going on. I really hope you can
see how powerful Notebook LM is. Um, I
really wish I can go into more of this
right now, but this video is already
really, really, really long. And I do
also have a full video that I've
dedicated to Notebook LM, which I will
link over here. So, please do check it
out. It is literally my favorite Google
AI product. Just like the other
sections, I'm also going to put on
screen out some of the really cool
things that I love using Notebook LM
for. And since we are on the topic of
quizzes, let's now do our next little
quiz/assessment.
Answer all the questions that I have on
screen right now in the comments to make
sure that you're paying attention. All
right,
moving on to one of also my favorite
Google AI products. It's called Firebase
Studio. Firebase Studio is a vibe coding
tool for building apps. It lets you
build and prototype full stack
applications uh for both like mobile and
web apps. I'm so mind-b blown that a
product like Firebase Studio is free.
This is what Firebase Studio looks like.
You can just start prototyping an app
with AI by just typing in what it is
that you wanted to build. like an app
that creates recipes
from photos. You click prototype with
AI.
I'll start it off with a little plan
over here. You can click prototype this
app and it's going to generate the code
for the first version of it. This is a
oneshot prompt and it's able to generate
this and it works just like that. Uh
it's not always going to be like that.
You know, sometimes you need to tweak it
a little bit. There is like a whole art
and science to vibe coding. I've made
like several videos about how exactly to
do vibe coding to produce the apps that
you want to have and doing it properly.
Uh so I'm not going to go into too much
more detail about that either. I'll put
them I'll link them up top and also link
you in the description to all the I've
literally made like at least three
different videos on how to vibe code.
Here's an example of a productivity app
that's inspired by Pokemon. And here is
a language learning app where you can
chat with the AI and it will give you
feedback on your grammar and your
pronunciation and your sentence
structure and your vocab.
>> Hi there. Let's talk about food. What's
on your mind?
>> I like potato. Eating potato.
>> Potatoes are great. Do you have a
favorite way to prepare them?
>> I do have a full video that covers
Firebase Studio and all the details
about it. So do check it out if you're
interested in building apps linked over
here. You can use Firebase Studio even
if you have no idea how to code. But if
you do know how to code, there's also
this IDE view where you can actually go
into the code and add things yourself as
well. I'm going to put on screen now
some of the apps that you can vibe code
using Firebase Studio.
Next up is Opel. Opel is also an AI app
builder that lets you like build, edit,
and share many apps using natural
languages. The experience of using Opal
is pretty different from Firebase Studio
because it is like a visual builder and
you don't actually interact with the
code directly. It's also only available
for beta um in the US only. So, I'm not
sure if all of you guys have access to
it right now, but you should. They're
probably rolling it out to everybody
else as well, so don't worry. So, let me
explain what I mean by it's a visual
builder that's different from Firebase
Studio. So we you can check out some of
the mini apps available in the gallery
like a blog post writer, a book wreck,
business profiler, citybuilder, etc.,
etc. Uh let's say let's click on
learning with YouTube. Let's try this
out as a mini app. So you see that
instead of having the code that's there,
it shows you the workflow itself. So for
this mini app, it's learning with
YouTube, turn your YouTube videos into a
quiz to help you learn. So you can get
started and it tells you to enter the
YouTube video URL. But let's say that
I'm going to put a video here that is my
video about prompt engineering. So it
would go and extract a video transcript
and you can actually see exactly what
it's doing. So it will collect a URL and
it's showing you the flow. It's
extracting the video transcript. Um and
then after that it's going to it's going
to analyze the education content. Then
it's going to generate the quiz and then
finally it's going to display the
report. The final thing that you get
back you can also see the flow that's
happening from the console view too.
like it's calling Gemini 2.5 fashion
now. Now it's generating the quiz and
voila, here you go. It is able to show
you the quiz uh that is based upon this
video and you can test yourself using
this. So this is what is meant by a mini
app. You can of course also build your
own mini apps by clicking create new
generate a blog post and video based on
the topic that the user provides. So you
can see the workflow here is that the
user will enter the topic for the
content and then it will use that
content to generate a blog post and it
will also simultaneously send it over to
generate the video instructions. Then
here the blog post is going to go into
the generate video clip as well as the
generate video instruction is going to
go into general video clips. Combine
everything together to generate the
combined output. So you get the blog and
the clip. And the way that the mini app
looks like is like this. So you can
click start, enter the topic for your
content, how to make chocolate,
and it will generate this blog post as
well as a video clip. You can also click
share app in order to share the app with
other people to use. So yeah, pretty
nifty, right? Um I think actually really
cool. It's like this like product that
you can see it's definitely not as
powerful as Firebase Studio is. It's
limited in the kind of apps I can build,
only like these mini apps, but it is
really nice for people who don't want to
like directly go into building a full
product. also completely free as well,
which is pretty crazy. Those of you who
are based in the US and have the beta uh
available to really recommend that you
check it out. I'm going to put on screen
now some of the mini apps that you can
build yourself using Opal. And also time
for our next little quiz. As you know,
answer these questions and put them into
the comment section. All right, we are
almost done. We've covered a lot in this
video, but there are two other um Google
AI products that I do want to very very
briefly mention as honorable mentions.
I'm not going to cover them fully
because they are a little bit niche, but
I personally think they are really,
really powerful. The first one is the
Vert.ex AI platform. It contains a lot
of things that you can do, including
Vert.ex AI Studio, which is kind of like
the developer version of Google AI
Studio, and there's also agent builder
where you can build out agents as well.
So, Vertex AI is really, really
powerful. There's a lot of things that
you can access through here, but it is a
developer tool. So, you do need to know
how to code to be able to use it
properly. But if you do know how to
code, um it is extremely powerful and I
highly recommend that you check it out.
And the final honorable mention I want
to tell you guys about is in fact
YouTube Studio. So as a creator, I spend
massive amounts of time on YouTube
Studio. Uh and originally I wasn't
actually going to add this into this
video. It just so happens that I am in
New York right now to attend Made on
YouTube, which is a YouTube event. Uh
they get a lot of creators and press to
come in and tell and they told us all
about the new AI features that they're
developing for creators. and it is
pretty cool. So, it's not available even
like to me right now, but they did show
some demos. Some of the things that
really stood out to me include being
able to use the VO video models directly
through YouTube Studio to generate
YouTube shorts. Gemini is also going to
be integrated into YouTube Studio so
that you're able to look at the metrics
and the data directly through natural
language as opposed to going through the
data itself. Uh, for me personally, I
love going through the data. I was a
data scientist, but I do know that for a
lot of other creators, they don't really
like digging into the numbers. So, this
will be um really really useful for them
in order to analyze their YouTube
channel. It would also help you come up
with better videos based upon comments
that are being generated, for example.
So, overall really, really powerful tool
for creators. So, yeah. Oh my gosh.
Thank you so much for uh watching this
entire video. And I have like 5 minutes
to finish packing everything before I go
on my flight where I'm going to be late.
Fingers crossed. Ask me in the comments
if I actually managed to make it on this
flight. But here, here, here's this
final little assessment. Please answer
these questions and put it into the
comments. All right, and I will see you
guys in the next video or live stream.
Wish me luck.
