Google Pixel’s new feature Add Me will be your new best friend. Perfect for group photos where the photographer often gets left out. To use it, first take a photo of the group without the photographer. Then, swap places with the photographer and take a second photo at the same angle. The AI will combine both shots into one natural-looking group photo, making it look as if everyone was together from the start.9

Then get a helping hand with Gemini AI, Google’s generative AI, you can simply press and hold the power button to activate the assistant. Need a weekend travel itinerary? Just ask, “Plan my first trip to Sunshine Coast for three days and two nights”, and Gemini will suggest a plan. Or if you need a quick summary of recent emails, just say, “summarise my recent important emails,”and Gemini will gather the highlights from Gmail. Whether for personal life or business, Gemini makes staying organised easier than ever.10
