Last month, Grow with Google took our “Make #AI Work for You” tour on the road, traveling Route 66 to bring hands-on AI training to small business owners across five states, #teaching them ways to save time, boost sales, and grow their teams’ skills.

We partnered with local chambers of commerce and Small Business Development Centers across Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and California. Together, we showed local business owners how Gemini and #Google #Workspace can handle routine admin, draft marketing content, and win back hours in their day.

Since its founding in 2017, Grow with Google has helped more than 13 million Americans learn digital skills to grow their careers and businesses. Now, with AI changing how we work, the impact of these skills is more vital than ever. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reported that 85% of small businesses using AI saw an increase in sales last year, and 82% grew their teams. When local businesses thrive, the community benefits.

Today we're introducing #Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, our most precise speech-to-text model yet, built for intelligent voice interactions 🗣️✨

3.5 Transcribe directly converts raw audio into accurate, formatted text while removing filler words, handling self-corrections, and capturing your intent so you can get things done using just your voice.

Here’s what's new:

📝 Smart transcription: Automatically removes filler words like "ums" and "ahs," formats your text, and seamlessly handles self-corrections.

🌍 Global language support: Detects and transcribes 85+ languages while handling regional accents and diverse dialects.

👥 Multi-speaker identification:  Distinguishes up to three speakers with timestamps in recorded audio (support for 3+ speakers is experimental).

🪄 Function calling: In the Gemini app on macOS, it can delegate complex tasks to other Gemini models via function calls to do things like generate images, look up information, analyze files and more.

Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is rolling out to consumer surfaces like Rambler on #Android and the Gemini app on #macOS. Developers can start building today in #Google AI Studio and Google Antigravity.

Google is offering students enrolled at accredited Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges of education 12 months of access to its AI Plus (AI+) plan at no cost. The subscription is valued at approximately ₦92,400, equivalent to about $68.56, and is intended to make advanced artificial intelligence tools more accessible for learning, research and academic work.

The plan gives eligible students expanded access to #Gemini and features such as Gemini Live, Deep Research, AI-powered study tools, interactive learning experiences and #Google Lens Homework Help. These tools can help students research complex subjects, understand difficult concepts, organise study materials and receive support with assignments.

Students must verify their enrolment through SheerID, a third-party eligibility-verification platform. Those who benefited from the student offer during the previous academic year may qualify for another 12 months after verifying that they remain enrolled at an eligible institution. The subscription included in the offer may depend on the student’s country or institution.

The initiative expands Google’s investment in AI-supported education across #Africa. In October 2025, the company introduced a similar offer for university students in #Nigeria, #Kenya, #Ghana, #Rwanda, South Africa and #Zimbabwe, providing premium #AI tools for research, creativity and learning.
