🌐 Google’s AI Mode Isn’t a Feature… It’s a Shift
The biggest headline from Google I/O 2025 wasn’t a device. It wasn’t an upgrade. It was a new AI-powered reality for how we search, create, and think.
Key Facts
- 🔎 Search Gets an Overhaul: Google’s new “AI Mode” replaces the search bar with a smart assistant that returns answers, not links, and even takes action on your behalf.
- 🎥 Veo 3 + Flow = Pro-Grade Video Creation: Anyone can now generate cinematic videos with sound, dialogue, and camera movement from a simple prompt.
- 🧠 Gemini Live & Workspace AI Go Free: Google removed the paywall from its most powerful tools, turning everyday apps into supercharged AI collaborators.
Let’s not overcomplicate this: Google just rebuilt the internet.
Search isn’t about links anymore, it’s about answers.
Real ones.
You ask a messy, human question and get a full itinerary, a research summary, or a draft email… not a list of blue hyperlinks.
AI Mode is what search should’ve been all along.
And they didn’t stop there.
Gemini Live: once $20/month is now free. It’s a voice-based AI assistant that speaks 48 languages, keeps up with context, and helps you brainstorm, plan, and explain quantum physics using pizza metaphors (yes, really).
It’s now embedded in Chrome, Docs, Gmail, Sheets, Slides.
Basically, everywhere you work.
Then there’s Veo 3 + Flow: pro-level video production from a text prompt.
Direct camera movements.
Add soundtracks.
Generate dialogue.
It’s like Final Cut Pro and ChatGPT had a baby…and it knows how to shoot in 1080p.
The catch?
You’ll need Google’s new $249/month AI Ultra plan to unlock full power.
But if you’re a content shop, agency, or daily creator – it might just be worth it.
And let’s not forget:
- Workspace AI writes and visualizes like a teammate
- Gemini Deep Think explains itself, step-by-step
- Gemini Diffusion writes 5x faster for live use cases
This isn’t a product update. It’s a full-stack AI ecosystem.
And for the first time, it actually feels ready for real-world work.
🤯 What Happens When You Feed Your Genome to AI?
When doctors couldn’t figure it out, Kevin Rose handed the problem to an algorithm.
Key Facts
- 🧬 A common genetic mutation (MTHFR): Made standard treatments ineffective for Kevin’s high homocysteine levels a serious cardiovascular risk.
- 🤖 AI decoded his full genome: Identified the issue, cross-referenced research, and recommended methylated B vitamins his body could actually use.
- ⚙️ Breakthrough in months: After years of frustration, his levels dropped and the problem was solved with a personalized, AI-built protocol.
Kevin Rose, a guy best known for launching Digg and spotting tech trends early, used AI to fix a health issue that stumped every doctor he saw.
He had chronically high homocysteine, a blood marker tied to heart disease. The usual supplements didn’t work.
Years went by.
Nothing changed.
So he did something wild: He ran his entire genome through an AI system.
🚩 The AI flagged a common but overlooked mutation in his MTHFR gene. Basically, his body couldn’t process folic acid properly, so the supplements he was taking were useless.
The fix was methylated B vitamins the active form his body could absorb.
Within months, his levels dropped.
Problem solved.
But here’s where it gets interesting:
This wasn’t a fluke.
It was a glimpse of what healthcare could (and probably should) be:
- 👤 Personalized: One-size-fits-all medicine didn’t work. His DNA did.
- 🧩 Proactive: AI connected dots faster than any human could.
- 🔓 Accessible: Genome sequencing now costs less than a new iPhone.
Critics might call it biohacking, but the science checks out.
Methylated B vitamins are proven to help people with this mutation. The AI just sped up what would’ve taken years of trial and error.
Please. Read this again ^
So what if this model could apply to more than just heart health?
Think autoimmune stuff. Fertility. Chronic fatigue.
I think of this more than I like to admit.
As someone who has lost too many family members and friends to common & rare diseases, I see this as the new [not-yet] normal reality.
🔍 AI could find patterns in your biology and environment that no single specialist has time to piece together.
Yeah, there are challenges, privacy, accuracy, equity. But the potential is massive.
As Kevin told Tim Ferriss:
“If we don’t use AI to help us live longer, healthier lives… then what are we even doing with it?”
Hard to argue with that.
