Woah. It’s been a little over 2 months since the start of 2026. Here's what we’ve dropped so far:

🚀 @FlowbyGoogle: Our biggest update yet. We’ve redesigned the interface, bringing image generation to the forefront, making it easier to manage assets, and giving you more precise control over your images and videos. We also made improvements to Veo 3.1 and welcomed Nano Banana 2 to the model lineup for even more expressive and consistent outputs. (Also, come say hi on Instagram: @ flowbygoogle!)

🚀 @JulesAgent: A major speed boost, all Jules free-tier users have been upgraded from Gemini 2.5 Pro to Gemini 3 Flash.

🚀 SynthID: We've added the ability to check whether audio is Google AI-generated (in addition to image and video). Generative media content made with Labs products can be uploaded to the Gemini app to see if they've been generated using Google AI. Simply type @ SynthID and ask "Is this AI?"

🚀 @StitchbyGoogle: We leveled up the MCP ecosystem. Users can now get step-by-step MCP client instructions and grab their API key directly from the Exports panel. We also joined the Antigravity MCP store and added new tools, like a coding agent that can ask to edit screens and generate screen variants.

🚀 Project Genie: Introducing an early research prototype powered by @GoogleDeepMind’s Genie 3 model, Project Genie lets users create and explore infinitely diverse worlds. Available to AI Ultra subscribers in the US.

🚀 @NotebookLM: A massive month for mobile. Users can now add customization prompts to Infographics and Slide Decks directly and generate video overviews on the mobile app. Plus, NotebookLM partnered with @Zillow to launch a featured notebook pre-loaded with their extensive home buying resources. Be on the lookout for other exciting partnerships to come!

🚀 Pomelli: Launched ‘Photoshoot,’ allowing users to take a single image of their product and easily create high quality, customized product shots to elevate their marketing.

🚀 Opal: Introduced a new agent step that analyzes a goal, determines the next best step, and automatically calls models and tools to finish a the task, such as Veo for video or web search for research.

🚀 @Producer_AI: Welcomed ProducerAI to Labs! ProducerAI is a creative collaborator, whether writing lyrics, refining a melody, or inventing entirely new genres.

What a start to the year. 2026 is just getting warmed up.

@rickpastoor Leuk! Ben er ook mee aan het experimenten. Heb nu al een mooi dashboard met verschillende agents. Welk taalmodel gebruik je?

@rossark0 @simonecanciello WearOS had a built in watchface were you could pair with a partner and then scribble on the watchface to each other. It was called together

[Jan Willem Hengeveld 👨‍🏫 @jwhengeveld]

@simonecanciello @rossark0 This should be a WearOS watchface, just like they had in the beginning - https://t.co/ToEpUs74K8

Gemini 3, are you freaking kidding me.

Vibe coded a sign language recognition app with video enabled, confidence scores, sampling settings, and tips in under 5 minutes.

Code written with Gemini-3.
Gemini-2.5 handling detection.
Video is sped up 2x.

Today we’re releasing GitHub Spark — a new tool in Copilot that turns your ideas into full-stack apps, entirely in natural language.

Vandaag waren @jeugdjournaal en @rtlnieuws op de @griftschool in Woudenberg om een item op te nemen over onze musical. Deze maken we zelf met hulp van AI.

Jeugdjournaal is al te zien op https://t.co/BUnIexXXhH vanaf 03:30. Uiteraard wilden de leerlingen ook zelf interviewen

[Bertus Meijer / hij van Onderwijsenzo @backinflow]

De leukste onderwijsdag van het jaar was weer leuk !!!
Bedankt allemaal.

Voor de restanten van EduTwitter - Wat voor werkvormen en technieken zetten jullie in om leerlingen tijdens de instructie een actieve houding te laten aannemen en zelf te zorgen dat ze de lesstof ook onthouden, kern er uit halen, etc.

TeacherTapp verzamelt dagelijks inzichten van leraren via een app. Initiatiefnemer Amber Walravens droom: dat de goudmijn aan data onzinnig onderwijsbeleid voorkomt en onderwijspersoneel een spiegel voorhoudt👇https://t.co/v0009d1NHg

[Eddy Erkelens 🧑‍🏫 @eddyerkelens]

Wat leuk, @amberwalraven met haar @TeacherTappNL staat met een artikel bij de AOb:

Een mooi middel om de stem van de leerkracht (1300 is al veel meer dan menigeen klankbordgroepje) dagelijks te peilen.

This is hilarious.

Engineers are competing who creates the worst Ul on Reddit.

In 1995, Microsoft owned the internet.

95% of people used Internet Explorer.

Then they made the most arrogant decision in tech history.

And lost everything they built.

So, what are you building with our API?

I will award 💰 €5000 💰 (equivalent in API or Magnific tokens) to the best use case. Just you show me here part of the script (screenshot) you've created that's already connected to our API.

Go!
