Video Production Showcasing Google Gemini Usage
"Accessible Mobile AI Experience Possible"
Introducing Updated Features Announced at Developer Event
"College students use Gemini most often when working on class assignments. It can handle everything from researching materials and summarizing content to brainstorming and organizing ideas."
Google Korea held the 'AI Challenge' this year, inviting college students who use its artificial intelligence (AI) service Gemini in their daily lives to participate. The program involved creating video content based on their real-life experiences with Gemini.
The video '#YouAreNotAlone', produced by Eunhoo Kim and others from the Department of Media and Communication at Yonsei University, was selected as an outstanding work for its lighthearted depiction of Gemini as a reliable companion in everyday life. The video showed how Gemini Live assists with everything from choosing products at a convenience store to summarizing class materials, illustrating that Gemini has already become indispensable for Generation Z in their daily routines.
On June 20, Google Korea held a workshop at its headquarters in Finance Center, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to showcase the winning entries of the AI Challenge and introduce various Gemini features.
The grand prize-winning work, 'AI, Another Family Member Remembering Precious Moments', portrayed Gemini as a companion even as the roles between mother and daughter change over time. The video depicted a mother using AI to analyze school lunch menus for her elementary school daughter, who has an egg allergy, and later, the grown daughter using AI to organize her elderly mother's medication packets by purpose.
Nojin Lee from the Department of Media and Communication, who participated in the video production, said, "College students often use AI on their laptops, but Gemini was the first mobile AI we tried," adding, "We wanted to convey the message that Gemini Live, with its easy accessibility, can help solve everyday problems."

Gemini Can Even Make Simple Games and Restaurant Apps
Google also explained new features of the updated version unveiled at the recent annual developer conference 'Google I/O'. Kiwhan Kim, Manager of the Communications Team at Google Korea, said, "The new Gemini is more personalized, proactive, and enables a wider range of creative experiences," adding, "We also considered how businesses could use it."
For example, by clicking 'Deep Research' on the Gemini site, users receive in-depth answers to their questions, structured with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
The ways to use Gemini on smartphones have also diversified. If a user enters a prompt such as, "I don't think I can meet CEO Hong Gildong this week. Ask if next Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. works," Gemini will open the text messaging application and perform the task, then save the meeting to the calendar app. If a user requests, "Send me a clock-out reminder and a motivational message every day at 1:37 p.m.," Gemini will carry out the request as instructed.
The Gemini Canvas feature is a useful tool that allows users to create games using 'vibe coding' without writing a single line of code. When a user instructed, "Create a simple maze game where an office worker starts on Monday and finishes on Sunday. If they collect an item called 'reward', they reach the finish faster, but if they get an item called 'overtime', they return to the starting point," Gemini quickly generated a 'Week of an Office Worker 3D Maze Game'.
'NotebookLM', which provides answers based on documents and files users own, was recently released as a mobile app, expanding its usability. It can also generate a podcast-style audio file featuring two speakers discussing the uploaded materials.
Stitch helps users turn their ideas into apps. For example, when a user requested, "Create an app that recommends today's lunch menu using a map API, and send notifications at 11:00 a.m. every day with the location, main menu, price, and rating of popular restaurants," the app's main screen appeared, and users could further customize the details as desired.
Kiwhan Kim, Manager of the Communications Team at Google Korea, explained the features of the updated version unveiled at this year's annual developer conference 'Google I/O' during the Gemini Workshop held on the 20th.
The video generation model 'Veo3' can create an eight-second video of a man saying he hopes for good weather on the weekend during the humid rainy season, complete with scenes of a rainy city and the man's voice, simply by entering a prompt in the prompt window.
If you want to create high-quality videos based on Veo3, you can use 'Flow'. Flow TV showcases outstanding videos along with their prompts, providing references for video production.
Meanwhile, since the launch of Gemini, Google has been developing 'SynthID', an invisible AI-generated watermark, to mark generative AI content. More recently, Google has introduced a service that allows users to check whether an image was created by AI. Applications for SynthID are available on the Google Korea blog. Manager Kim stated, "We are distributing SynthID as open source so that other AI service providers besides Gemini can use the technology in their services."
