Do These 5 Things With Google AI Today

This is not a tool list. It is five real tasks. Each one ends with something you made. Pick the one that matches a job you already have and do it now. Skip the rest without guilt.

Every link goes to the official Google page. Plans, quotas and regional access vary.

1. Turn the longest document on your desk into a podcast

The tool: Gemini Notebook · notebooklm.google

That report you keep meaning to read. The contract. The 60-page course PDF. Upload it, press one button, and two AI voices discuss it like a podcast made only for you.

Do this: open Gemini Notebook, create a notebook, upload the document, and generate the audio overview. Listen on your next drive or walk.

Heads up: Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook on 16 July 2026. It is the same standalone product with a new name.

✓ You will know it worked when you hear two voices discussing your own document, and you actually know what is in it without having read it.

Skip this if there is genuinely no document waiting on you. Rare, but possible.

2. Turn your website into on-brand social posts

The tool: Pomelli · labs.google/pomelli

Give it your website or your social page. It reads your brand, the colours, the way you write, into a profile it calls your Business DNA. Then it makes campaign assets and social posts that look like they came from you, not from a template.

Do this: open Pomelli, paste your website or page link, let it build your Business DNA, and generate one campaign. Keep the posts you like.

Worth knowing: it currently works in English. Availability can still vary by country.

✓ You will know it worked when the first post it makes uses your real brand colours without you uploading anything.

Skip this if you have nothing to market. This one is for anyone with a business, a side project, or a page they want to grow.

3. See the app idea in your head as a real screen

The tool: Stitch · stitch.withgoogle.com

Everyone has an app idea. Almost nobody can see it. Describe one screen in plain English, or hand it a rough sketch, and it gives you the design, looking like a real product.

Do this: open Stitch and describe the main screen of your idea in one or two sentences. Look at what comes back. Refine it once.

The ceiling: this is for exploring a UI and refining a prototype, not shipping a finished app.

✓ You will know it worked when a screen you described comes back looking like something you could show a friend without apologising.

Skip this if you have no product idea and no curiosity about one. That is allowed.

4. Put a boring chore on autopilot

The tool: Opal · opal.google

If you have heard of automation tools like n8n or Make, this is Google's visual answer, and you build it by typing sentences. Describe the steps and it becomes a mini tool that runs them: "take my messy notes, tidy them into bullet points, then draft a short email from them."

Do this: open Opal, start from scratch or remix one of the ready-made ones, and describe a two-step chore you do every week. Run it.

Worth knowing: not yet available in the EU or the UK (Google is rolling it out country by country). Check the current country list and usage limits before relying on it.

✓ You will know it worked when a chore you described runs start to finish without you touching the middle.

Skip this if you cannot name a repeating chore yet. Do task 1 first, it usually surfaces one.

5. Build a tiny working tool by describing it

The tool: Google AI Studio · aistudio.google.com

This is the one that changes how you see AI. Describe a small tool in plain English, a quiz maker, a caption writer, a bill splitter for trips with friends, and it builds a working version in your browser. No code on your side.

Do this: open AI Studio, find the build option, and describe the smallest useful thing you can think of. One sentence is enough to start.

✓ You will know it worked when you have a link to something running that did not exist before you described it, and you made it.

Skip this if the other four tasks already gave you your win today. This one is the dessert, not the meal.

Before you pick one

These tools do not share one access model. Plans, quotas and regional access vary. Some are Labs experiments, and Google switches experiments off without much warning. That is exactly why this page gives you five tasks instead of twenty tools: every one of these was checked against Google's own pages, and the ones that died or got locked behind a paywall did not make the list.

Before you close this tab

Pick ONE task. Not the best one, the one that matches a job you already have this week. Do it now. A guide you saved is a guide you never used.
