Google Drive for Android just got a massive multi-page document scanning upgrade, but your phone will need at least 8GB of RAM to use it.

If you’ve ever tried to digitize a multi-page document, a full booklet, or a stack of receipts using your phone, you know how tedious the process can be. Historically, the document scanner built into Google Drive required you to line up a page, snap a photo, crop it, manually hit the plus button t...

Google is experimenting with a new Chrome flag that sends your address bar queries straight into an AI Mode thread, completely bypassing traditional search results.

For over two decades, the browser omnibox has been the simplest front door to standard Google Search. You type a question, hit enter, and get a neat list of traditional blue links. But as Google continues its aggressive push to make generative AI a foundational part of the daily internet experience,...

Googlebook and Android Desktop will share some similarities, and that could get confusing. So we asked Google VP John Maletis to break down the big differences between the two.

Ever since rumors began circulating about Google bringing the Android tech stack over to power a new desktop-class computing experience, a lot of us in this space have been asking a very logical question: how will Googlebook's OS actually differ from the standard Android Desktop interface Google is....

Google's premium TV Streamer is back down to a tempting $80!

The streaming device market is highly competitive, and finding the right balance of price and performance can be a challenge. But right now, the Google TV Streamer is back on sale for a very tempting $79.99 and is easy for me to recommend. Even when more affordable alternatives like the new Onn 4K P...

Google is bringing AI to budget hardware with the official launch of Gemini Go, a streamlined assistant replacing Assistant Go on entry-level phones.

Google’s ongoing push to integrate Gemini into every corner of the Android world just crossed a major new frontier. For a long time, the latest AI features have been heavily gated by hardware specifications, usually requiring premium flagship processors and healthy amounts of RAM to function prope...

Google has officially launched "Organize My Files in Drive," a new Gemini-powered tool that automatically suggests where to group and move your loose documents.

If you are anything like me, your Google Drive has a nasty habit of turning into a digital junk drawer. You start a quick project, save a loose document to your main directory, tell yourself you'll organize it later, and before you know it, you are staring at a screen crowded with clutter. Moving th...

I initially expected 5 devices for the fall Googlebook launch, but it turns out we could see up to 8 total models to kickoff this new Google laptop era.

When Google officially announced Googlebook a few weeks back, they confirmed that major partners like Dell, HP, ASUS, Acer, and Lenovo were all on board for an impressive launch this fall. I figured we’d see a tight, highly curated group of devices out of the gate with what I thought would likely ...

I spent hours searching for a specific Wordpress plugin before giving up and letting Gemini just build it perfectly for me in minutes. Now I can't wait to make something else.

If you’ve spent any significant amount of time managing a self-hosted WordPress site, you likely know the familiar, exhausting cycle of the plugin hunt. You have a very specific, relatively simple problem you need to solve. You head to the plugin repository, download three or four different option...

Google Chat can now talk directly to external Microsoft Teams accounts, making cross-platform files, calls, and chats seamless for business users.

For years, one of the biggest headaches in corporate communication has been the digital wall separating different workplace platforms. If your team lives in Google Workspace but your primary client, vendor, or supplier runs on Microsoft Teams, collaboration usually devolves into a messy web of guest...
