Google unveils new AI API that makes decisions across multiple options in seconds #
On November 11, Google announced the Gemini Decisions API, a new service that evaluates text, image, audio, video and PDF inputs all at once and can answer up to a thousand yes/no, multiple-choice or scoring-type questions in 150 to 250 milliseconds. Google said the system is already used for tasks like tool selection, model routing and content moderation, noting that Gemini Notebook and Google Search have already put it to use.
What it means for your business: This is a technical infrastructure tool: the software your business relies on (for things like order verification or routing customer requests) could become able to make faster, lower-cost decisions by using systems like this behind the scenes.Source: Google Blog — Gemini Decisions API: Fast, calibrated multimodal decisions

On November 10, Google announced that Gemini Intelligence is coming to the motorola signature 27 (opening for pre-order in the US on November 19) and the Pixel 10 lineup. These devices have gained the Rambler feature, which converts speech to text, and task automation has expanded to the UK, India and Japan. Google also introduced Create My Widget, which builds custom widgets from voice commands, and Device Assistance, which helps troubleshoot device issues.
What it means for your business: These features are currently limited to select countries, and it's unclear when they'll roll out to Turkey; still, capabilities like task automation could eventually save time for mobile work tracking.Source: Google Blog — Gemini Intelligence: New features, on more devices
