7 experimental Google AI projects you can try right now

Google gives us access to a variety of experimental tools that aren’t quite full-fledged products quite yet. Whether you’re a creator, student, or just curious about AI, there’s something for everyone to explore.

NotebookLM

NotebookLM is Google’s AI-powered note-taking assistant that helps you analyze and understand documents.

Upload your research materials, and the AI will help you create summaries, answer questions, and generate insights. It’s kind of like creating your own custom study guides for various topics. It also lets you create audio overviews of your materials—podcast-like discussions hosted by two eerily human-sounding synthetic voices.

It’s particularly useful for students, researchers, and professionals who need to process large amounts of written content efficiently.

Learn About

Google’s Learn About tool uses AI to help you explore and understand complex topics through natural conversations.

Whether you’re diving into a new subject or brushing up on existing knowledge, Learn About provides a tailored learning experience.

Simply start with a subject you’re interested in, and Learn About guides you through an adaptive learning experience, adjusting to your knowledge level and interests as you go.

MusicFX

MusicFX is an AI-powered music creation tool that allows anyone to generate original musical compositions by simply describing a musical idea and hearing it come to life.

Seasoned musicians and complete novices alike can create unique tracks by describing the style, mood, and instruments they want. The AI then generates music based on their specifications.

ImageFX

Similar to other AI image generators, ImageFX lets you create custom images from text descriptions.

It sports one of the slicker user interfaces of the image generation tools out there, making it easy to generate pictures from simple descriptions while also offering enough customization options to cater to experienced users as well.

GenType

GenType is an experimental typeface generator that uses AI to create custom graphical alphabets based on your specifications.

Generated letters can be copied or downloaded individually, or downloaded as an entire set as a zipped folder full of PNG files.

TextFX

TextFX is a creative writing assistant that helps you generate, edit, and enhance text content. It can help with everything from crafting catchy headlines to developing creative story ideas.

The tool offers various “effects” you can apply to your text, such as changing the tone, style, or format.

Illuminate

A cousin of NotebookLM’s audio overviews, Illuminate helps you turn potentially bone-dry topics into engaging, AI-generated audio discussions that sound like short podcast episodes narrated by surprisingly lifelike voices.

Either search for a particular topic or paste in a URL to a PDF and it’ll output something far more digestible for you to listen to.
