Your Weekly AI Digest. 16-11-24
Hello community member,
Remember how Android and iOS users can never agree on which one is better? But really, what difference does being ‘superior’ even make? Maybe we’ll never know.
This week, Google launched the Gemini AI app—but only for iOS users. So, Android users, when’s your turn? Guess we’ll find out soon. And it’s not just Google making moves. TikTok dropped something new, and Apple wasn’t left out either. We’ve got all the updates right here for you - So, grab a seat, sit back, and indulge. It’s time to savor the excitement of what the AI world has served up this week!
Here's your curated dose of the most significant events in the AI ecosystem this week:
Google Launches Gemini AI App for iPhone
TikTok launches Symphony Creative Studio, an AI-powered video generation platform
Apple’s AI-powered Final Cut Pro 11 is now available
Perplexity brings ads to its platform
Google's AI assistant is now on iOS through the Gemini app, bringing voice chats, image generation, and easy access to Google services. With Gemini, iPhone users can chat with Google’s AI via text, voice, or even using the camera – and you don’t need the main Google app to do this. One of the most amazing feature is Gemini Live, which lets you chat in a natural, human-like way. You can choose from 10 different AI voices and talk in languages like English, Spanish, French, German, and Hindi. While it’s a nice feature, some might still prefer OpenAI’s GPT-4 for smoother conversations. The app also helps with things like creating images, study tools, and photo analysis, plus it connects to Google apps like YouTube, Gmail, and Maps. However, Gemini has its limits, it can’t adjust your settings or manage other apps like Siri can, and it only works within Google’s apps.
TikTok has launched a new AI tool called Symphony Creative Studio, designed to help businesses create videos quickly with just a little input. Available to TikTok for Business users, the tool can turn product info or URLs into TikTok-ready videos, using proven layouts and scripts. It also lets users include licensed assets from places like Getty Images. A unique feature is the ability to create AI avatars, which can be customized with different traits and nationalities. Also, Symphony Creative Studio can translate videos into different languages, syncing the lip movements to look natural. There is also a built-in video editor with filters, stickers, and captions to make your content more engaging. For brands that need a lot of content, the Daily Video Generation feature creates custom videos based on previous activity, so you can upload them easily. All AI-generated videos will be marked as such, giving full transparency.

After 13 years, Apple has finally released Final Cut Pro 11. It is available to download now, and if you are an existing user, you get it as a free update. New users can buy it for $300 after a 90-day trial. Apple’s using AI to power some interesting features. The Magnetic Mask tool lets you easily crop people or objects from your videos without needing a green screen. There's also a new Transcribe to Captions feature that automatically adds text to your timeline. Final Cut Pro 11 also makes editing Spatial Video easier, which you can capture with the Vision Pro headset or the latest iPhones. Likewise, there are new time-saving tools like Magnetic Timeline to quickly rearrange clips while keeping everything synced. It’s designed to work smoothly with Apple’s M-series chips, making it perfect for high-quality video playback. There’s also an updated version for iPad users.ny spoilers.
Perplexity, the AI search engine, is starting to experiment with ads this week, beginning in the U.S. These ads will show up as "sponsored follow-up questions" alongside your search results, clearly labeled as sponsored. According to Perplexity, this is a way to generate steady revenue and support its revenue-sharing program with publishers since subscriptions alone aren’t cutting it. The company promises that the ads won’t interfere with how answers are generated, they will still come from the AI, not advertisers. Also, your personal information won’t be shared with advertisers. Perplexity says it chose this ad format to keep its answers unbiased and trustworthy. This move comes at a time when Perplexity is handling 100 million searches per week and raising $500 million in funding. But it’s also facing legal challenges from publishers accusing it of copying content, which could impact how advertisers view the platform.
