The AI Daily: Google has launched Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing for Android, allowing users to show the AI assistant what they're seeing in real-time. Initially available on Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 devices, the feature will soon roll out to all Gemini Advanced subscribers.

Key notes:

  • Users can point their camera at objects or share their screen for instant AI assistance.
  • The feature supports conversations in over 45 different languages.
  • Applications include organizing spaces, creative brainstorming, and troubleshooting.
  • Users can get shopping advice while browsing products online.
  • The tool provides feedback on creative work and skills development.

Why it matters: Google's new visual feature makes AI much more useful in daily life. Now that Gemini can see what you see through your phone's camera, it can help you in more practical ways. Instead of just typing back and forth, you can show Gemini what you're looking at to get help with shopping, solving problems, or working on creative projects.

The AI Daily: Cloudflare just announced big updates to its Agents SDK, making it easier for developers to build smart AI agents that connect to other tools. New features include free Durable Objects, Workflows, AutoRAG, and a new website: agents.cloudflare.com.

Key notes:

  • The updated SDK helps AI agents connect to outside services with built-in tools for login and data sharing.
  • Tools like Stytch, Auth0, and WorkOS make it easy to add login systems to agents.
  • A new “hibernation” feature lets agents sleep when not in use, saving money but keeping their memory.
  • Durable Objects are now free with 5GB of storage and 100,000 daily requests.
  • Workflows is now fully released for building powerful, long-running agent actions.
  • AutoRAG helps add smart, context-aware AI to projects with just a few clicks.

Why it matters: This update makes building AI tools much simpler and more affordable. Cloudflare is now offering many powerful features for free, making it easier for developers to create AI tools that can log in and connect to other services. The new sleep mode is also helpful - it saves money by letting AI tools rest when they're not being used.

The AI Daily: ElevenLabs just introduced its official MCP server, which connects its AI voice platform to apps like Claude and Cursor using simple text commands. This means users can now add voice features without needing to code.

Key notes:

  • The server connects directly to all of ElevenLabs' AI voice tools.
  • Users can turn text into speech for things like audiobooks or content.
  • It also turns speech into text to quickly write out audio or video recordings.
  • You can build custom AI voices for different uses.
  • It even supports voice agents that can make phone calls.

Why it matters: This makes AI voice tech easier for more people to use. Now, instead of needing special skills, anyone can use simple text prompts to create voice features. And with tools that can make real phone calls, AI is moving from just chatting in text to actually speaking and performing real tasks.
