Google DeepMind Unveils AlphaGenome 2 to Predict Gene Changes in Specific Cell Types
Google DeepMind has released AlphaGenome 2, an AI model that predicts gene changes in specific human cell types. It finds nearly twice as many relevant gene variants as its predecessor. It is currently available only for noncommercial research.
- Every cell has the same DNA, but different cell types switch different genes on or off.
- The model takes a DNA sequence and a specific cell state as input and calculates the effect on that cell.
- It also predicts how DNA is packed inside the nucleus and DNA methylation, chemical tags that switch genes off or on.
- It was trained on over 107 million individual cell profiles from 68 tissues.

Google Labs Launches Tabletop, a Shared Workspace for Group Planning
Google Labs has released Tabletop, a new experimental space where groups can plan and decide together in real time. Users can use AI (artificial intelligence) to create trip itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters, and tournament brackets.
- Add links, files, and ideas, then type @tabletop to generate a custom interactive space.
- You can also start from a ready-made template.
- Share the invite link in a group chat so everyone can edit at the same time, like a Google Doc.
- It is rolling out in the U.S. to people 18 and older through a waitlist.

Google Flow Music Lets Producers Export Vibe-Coded Tools as DAW Plugins
Google now lets users export instruments and effects built by description in Google Flow Music's Spaces as VST3 and AU plugins, add-ons for music software. Producers can use tools made through vibe coding, building by describing rather than coding, right inside the music production software (DAW) they already use.
- Spaces lets anyone build their own instruments or effects in everyday language, with no coding experience needed.
- Custom Spaces can be exported in VST3 or AU format and run inside a DAW.
- Producer Khris Riddick-Tynes made a plugin named No Chaser that keeps his instrumentals and vocals sounding crisp and studio-grade, whatever the recording location.

Google Unveils the New CC, an AI Agent Built for Families
Google Labs has turned its experimental AI agent CC, an AI that handles tasks for you, into one made for families and households. Up to six members can share it to handle schedules, to-dos, and meal planning, and people in the U.S. can start using it today through an upgrade email or the waitlist.
- CC has its own Google account and only sees the emails and information that each member chooses to share.
- Every morning it sends a shared Your Day Ahead brief showing who needs to be where and what needs to get done.
- It pulls dates and to-dos from emails, such as those from a school or swim center, into a family calendar and task list and keeps them updated.
- With permission, it can fill out permission slips and registration forms, make school supply lists, and plan weekly meals.

Google Labs has opened Dreambeans, an experiment first shown in June, to all U.S. accounts for people 18 and older. Dreambeans builds a daily set of stories tailored to you from your interests and connected Google apps, and it runs on Android and iOS.
- Stories are built around personal topics such as places to explore, shows to watch, and upcoming events.
- On top of Calendar, Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube, it can now draw on Gemini as well.
- With Google Photos connected, it can add pictures of you and your loved ones to your stories.
- Stories you like can be explored in more depth, bookmarked, or shared with others.

Google Flow Adds Video Editing Controls with Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash
Google has rolled out new video editing features in Google Flow powered by Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash. Setting start and end frames, high-resolution export, and low-resolution drafts help users make more polished videos, and the features are available starting today.
- Users can set start and end frames, the first and last shots of a clip, to keep characters and the story consistent.
- Finished videos can be saved in 1080p or 4K for use in broadcast and social media editing.
- Quick drafts can be made at 360p, which uses fewer credits, and favorite clips can then be downloaded in 720p.
- In the Google Flow phone app, users can draft videos on the go and raise the quality of only the ones they like.
