One of my favorite things about Dreambeans is how we aim to inspire people to live richer lives, and turn everyday discovery into action.
And this is what Dreambeans Roulette is all about! Go live your favorite story and share it with us! 🙂
What would happen if Dreambeans ☁️ dreamt up ☁️ your morning ☀️?
We brought together Google Labs’ very own Sahana R. (Product Manager), Brian R. (VP of Product), and his impossibly adorable floof Nala to dance with destiny in an exercise we’re calling “Dreambeans Roulette”!
Here’s the rundown:
1️⃣ Open Dreambeans
2️⃣ Select a story
3️⃣ Go out and do it!
Discover where Dreambeans takes us in “Dreambeans Roulette: Part 1” and follow along in this three-part series!
Dreambeans is available in the US, for users 18+. More regions coming soon. Learn more at labs.google/dreambeans

Gemini 3.8 Live Avatar publicly launched today! 🚀
So cool seeing real-time avatars with natural expressions and turn-taking, which makes talking to AI feel like a face-to-face conversation.
blog.google/innovation-and-a…
now making live avatar available to all! my most fun project at google thus far. started as a bottom-up research project on video agents with a small nimble team in gemini audio, supported by private customers on cloud, to now this general release (1/N)
It's been an absolute joy building and launching this product with such an incredible team.
We've been blown away by the warm reception so far, and we're eager to keep iterating based on your feedback.
If you've had a chance to try it, what's been your favorite feature so far? What would you like to see us build next? Go #dreambeans!
Dreambeans is one of our newer experiments in @GoogleLabs. It has a growing cult following.
It’s simple: a fixed number of “beans” brew every morning. They point you at the real world, with real people, doing things you care about together.
Give it a try!
So proud of what we have accomplished with Dreambeans to date, and we are just getting started!
How do you build personalized AI tech that truly understands what matters to you?
With Dreambeans from @GoogleLabs, we're safely connecting the dots across your digital life. Instead of siloing pieces of data one app at a time, Dreambeans gathers details from connected sources like @Gmail, Calendar, Search, @GeminiApp, and through face grouping in your @googlephotos. It might notice your friend Beth's birthday is coming up, generate a one-of-a-kind illustrated story of the two of you, and surface the perfect gift ideas.
Rather than doomscrolling an endless feed, you’ll get a daily in-app notification from Dreambeans when your customized “stories” are ready. And when a story clicks with you, you can tap the illustrated tile to find additional info and direct links to the next step, whether that’s watching a movie trailer or buying a suggested gift.
This experience is opt-in, transparent, and protected by strict privacy filters. And because you are always in control, you can simply tap the "thumbs down" button on any story if a suggestion misses the mark, helping the system learn what is actually useful to you.

The idea of an AI personal assistant might seem far-fetched, but Google now makes it more accessible for non-nerds, writes Christopher @Mims, who let Personal Intelligence access his whole life. on.wsj.com/3UsU3AA

🚀One billion for Gemini! Our goal remains to make it the most personal, proactive, and powerful assistant. Here’s what we’re learning from the first billion, and what’s coming next…
1B+ people are now using @Geminiapp every month to spark new ideas and get things done. It’s our fastest growing product ever, and our 14th to hit the 1B-user mark.
Kudos to @JoshWoodward & the entire Gemini team, and thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with us - much more to come!

We’ve spent the last few months reimagining @NotebookLM. It might look similar on the surface but we’re actually rolling out a completely new chat experience today that runs on @antigravity attached to a cloud VM.

The new Dreambeans from @GoogleLabs is without a doubt my favorite product in a long time. I am blown away at the custom images, the insights, and the value. Huge kudos to @joshwoodward and the whole team. Just fantastic.

Endless scrolling is so last year 🛑
Meet Dreambeans ☕️✨ - so excited to see the amazing work from the Google Labs team behind this latest experiment!
I’ve been dogfooding it for a while now, and it's completely changed my morning routine. Instead of doomscrolling, it brews up a daily feed of super personalized stories designed to spark ideas and connect you to what actually matters.
Because it uses Personal Intelligence to securely connect to your Google apps, the curation is incredibly tailored and surprisingly insightful. It knows about my obsession with charcuterie boards and alcohol-free craft cocktails. It even knew my in-laws were visiting and suggested watching a rare 3-planet lineup over the Sierra Foothills (since my husband is obsessed with space 🪐), complete with a unique AI illustration of the four of us together! 🔭
Powered by Google's latest Nano Banana 2 models 🍌, you have total control over your privacy and exactly which apps you choose to connect.
It’s rolling out starting today for eligible Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. on Android and iOS. Check out the announcement below, grab your spot on the waitlist, and let me know what you think! 👇

♥️♥️ We are live!!! 🚀
A short backstory on this one:
A small Google Labs team had an idea to make an app designed to connect you with what matters, without the endless scroll. "Hope scrolling, not doom scrolling" was the hallway pitch. "Go for it."
And today, that little experiment is rolling out.
Meet Dreambeans, a daily dose of inspiration, brewed fresh for you. We're excited to see what you think!
I finally had some time to formalize my personal take on the future of the human economy (as a fun exercise, i.e. don't take it too seriously!)
The motivating question: If AI eventually becomes "better" than us at everything (say e.g. science, math, engineering, medicine, etc), is there any reason for human labor to persist?
My personal conjecture: The "hedonic treadmill" makes human happiness computationally irreducible. AI cannot "pre-calculate" what we will want in the future because the target moves recursively. Therefore, "work" never ends; it just shifts from execution (doing things) to managing oracle queries, generating the entropy-reducing bits that tell the AI what is valuable.
A fun attempt to formalize it here 🙂: drive.google.com/file/d/17hh…
