Google’s Gemini just launched “Gems” + improved “Imagen 3”.

Google introduced "Gems" for Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users.

Think of these as “Custom GPTS” like in ChatGPT where you can:

  • Tailor your “Gems” to do specific tasks

  • Be a specialized expert in any field

  • Use premade ones for learning, brainstorming, career guide, coding

Imagen 3 - Improved Image Generation Model

Google's Imagen 3, now available to all Gemini users, looks to give much higher quality outputs with safety rails in place. Check out the comparison between the old vs new Imagen.

Prompt: Generate an image of glistening dewdrops clinging to a velvety red rose petal. Capture the intricate details of the water droplets, reflecting the morning sunlight, and the delicate veins of the petal.

Hotshot - Anyone Can Create Videos 🎥✨

Last week we mentioned the new kid in town, HotShot, the new text-to-video start up founded by just 4 people in 4 months! Yes, they’re competing with the big guys like Runway, Luma and Sora (yet to be released).

Check out what what the AI community have created & how you can do it too!

Here's what the AI community is cooking up with Hotshot:

👨‍🍳BAKING WITH BOTS 🤖

Tutorial: Text To Video Using HotShot (FREE)

Want to create text to videos using HotShot like in the previous section?

We’ve read through HotShot’s Prompting Guide so you don’t have to!

Here’s the simplest + fastest way to prompt effectively:

🧪 Formula 🧪

[Subject] + [Action] + [Environment]

For example:

  • Subject: A beautiful woman

  • Action: speaking on stage

  • Environment: at a Ted Talk

  • Style (optional): Cinematic

A beautiful woman speaking on stage at a Ted Talk, cinematic

Try these out yourself:

  1. Cute elephant walking through the lush rainforest, Pixar style

  2. A man in red sweatshirt, sitting on a subway next to the window

  3. A bearded 20yo man wearing a blue shirt, baking cookies in the kitchen

HotShot Tips:

  • Loves creating videos of people, animals and nature

  • Not so hot with extreme motion

  • It automatically adds detail to your prompt to “Enhance it” so no need to super long prompts

  • If you have a long prompt, try turning off "Enhance Prompt"
