But it seems like they didn't want to wait until tomorrow to start launching Cool stuff. Today they announced the launch of an Android app for NotebookLM. This will be a huge step forward for NotebookLM because it will bring the tool into the hands of so many users that won't have bothered with its current web only interface.

Arguably, the mobile app will be a more natural fit for the popular tool as it will allow you to collect new sources while you're on the go and then playback your Notebook podcast without being tethered to your laptop. Great stuff. We also got to hear about a new Google project called 'Jules' an AI coding agent that looks like it will be competing with OpenAI's Codex.

It seems to be able to connect to GitHub, open PRs, write and run tests, and much more. The battlefield for AI coding tools is going to be intense this year. But Google still wasn't done Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind posted on X, "cooking up something tasty for tomorrow" with what would appear to be AI generated video and audio, leading many to speculate that we would see a Veo 3 model announced tomorrow that might also be able to produce accompanying Audio.

Seems like it's going to be quite the week for Google but it was also a big day for Microsoft they announced native support for MCP on Windows VS Code is becoming an open source AI editor, and Elon Musk announced that Grok would be available as a foundry model on Azure from June. And finally Flowwith AI made quite a splash with the announcement of 'Flowith Neo', an AI agent marketed as the world's first infinite agent.

This AI agent is capable of infinite steps, infinite context and infinite output all while you sleep. That's quite the claim. If this tool really is able to do what is shown in the promotional video, then we're really in for quite the ride in 2025.
