News & Reviews:   generative AI

Google Veo 3 and Flow are Google’s latest generative AI platforms that offer text-to-video prompting. While Veo 3 is the engine, Flow is the platform where the videos are generated and put together. Together they allow users to rapidly create various types of videos using just text prompts.

Recently, Google offered us a chance at trying out Google Veo 3 and Flow. Here are our first impressions of the platform along with our own rather basic attempts at text-to-video. If you’re interested in trying it out then do keep on reading.

Is too much Gen AI making us both stupid? Read on to find out.

As the Internet has been bombarded by Google’s impressive Veo 3 and Flow generative AI videos, we noticed that Microsoft has quietly added video creation capabilities to their Bing Image Creator. This has resulted in Bing Video Creator and you can choose to switch between either Image or Video generation for FREE.

Believe it or not, Google has rolled out and expanded AI services. Although it says the new AI Ultra subscription plan is available in the US today, the company unveiled the price at a staggering RM1,229.90 in Malaysia. There is also a quarterly plan, which is RM614.90 per month.

With this app, users can now more easily access the localized LLM or AI Chat that is NotebookLM. As we covered previously, while it requires you to upload your sources manually beforehand it does manage to reduce the problem of generative AI hallucinations by only sourcing from the references that you provide.

Google has officially rolled out video generation features to its Gemini platform thanks to the Veo 2 model, so you can create AI-generated videos directly from text prompts. This update is now live for users subscribed to Gemini Advanced and Google One AI Premium (which starts from RM97.99), including those in Malaysia. 

At the recent Google Cloud Next 25, Google Cloud expanded its Vertex AI platform with new generative media capabilities.

As generative AI becomes more advanced, more people are finding new ways to use it. While many use them for work purposes, generative AI has the potential to be useful in a variety of situations. Here are 5 interesting use cases for generative AI in 2025.

The rise of generative AI has changed how many approach writing, design and coding. A simple prompt can now generate articles, images and code in a matter of seconds. However, a solid foundation or understanding of each of these crafts remains significantly important.

While being able to prompt Generative AI correctly and efficiently is a good skill, it shouldn’t be the only thing one is good at. Actual mastery of skills is just as important and should go hand-in-hand with expertise in prompting. Read on to find out why.
