Welcome to the Tech Mem Right Home for Wednesday, August 21st,

2024. I'm Brian McCullough. Today AI News has been a bit quiet for a little

while now, but the headlines came roaring back today.

More evidence Waymo might be having some sort of tipping point.

Can we really get 3D without the need to wear glasses and the interesting raised startup that is actually

literally going to the moon and not in a figurative sense.

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

Well, AI headlines are back with a vengeance. First up

Google has updated Gemini in Gmail to add a Polish feature to edit

existing drafts on top of the formalize and elaborate features quoting the

verge. The tools are available to people who pay for Google 1 AI Premium

accounts who have paid for Google's Gemini ad on for workspace.

If that's you, when you open an empty draft, you'll see a Help Me Right shortcut appear

that you can tap to have Gemini draft text for you.

Once you have 12 or more words in a draft, AI written or not, you should see a new

refine my draft shortcut shown in gray letters below the words.

Swipe your thumb across the text and you'll be given the choice to

polish, formalize, elaborate, or shorten or to have Gemini just write a whole new draft

for you. And if the Refine My Draft shortcut doesn't appear, tapping the pencil icon does the same thing."

End quote.

developers to download use and fine tune right now on Hugging Face
