Google Meet launches an AI-powered makeup feature

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: Google Meet has introduced AI-powered virtual makeup filters, offering users 12 style presets that stay seamlessly in place during video calls. The update helps Meet stay competitive with Microsoft Teams and Zoom, both of which already support similar enhancements.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• Google Meet now features 12 AI-driven makeup filters under the “Portrait touch-up” > “Appearance” section.

• Options build on existing tools like complexion smoothing, under-eye lightening, and eye whitening.

• Filters remain fixed on the user’s face—even during natural movements like sipping from a cup.

• The feature is off by default but can be enabled before or during calls, with preferences saved for future meetings.

• Rollout began October 8 across mobile and web platforms.

💡 Why This Stands Out: Virtual presentation tools are becoming table stakes in video conferencing, especially as hybrid workforces prioritize low-effort polish. Google’s update reflects a broader push to humanize AI augmentation—subtle, seamless, and user-controlled. As workplace norms evolve, will digital self-presentation become as standard as the camera itself?

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla’s Firefox adds Perplexity’s AI answer engine as a new search option

:

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: Mozilla is integrating Perplexity AI as a built-in search option in Firefox, offering users a conversational, citation-rich alternative to traditional search engines—without overhauling the browser experience.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• Perplexity is now a global search option in Firefox on desktop; mobile support is coming soon.

• Unlike Google, Perplexity returns conversational answers with sources instead of just links.

• Users can access it via the unified search button or set it as their default in settings.

• Mozilla chose Perplexity in part because it does not share or sell user data.

• Firefox browser profiles—customizable setups for different use cases—are now widely available.

💡 Why This Stands Out: While many tech firms chase AI-native browsers, Mozilla is taking a more pragmatic path—enhancing Firefox with opt-in AI tools rather than forcing a full transition. This move preserves user autonomy while still modernizing search. Could the future of AI in browsing be about augmentation, not reinvention?

Google

Google’s Gemini can now help you schedule Google Calendar meetings

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: Google is rolling out a Gemini-powered “Help me schedule” tool in Gmail, designed to streamline one-on-one meeting planning by using AI to suggest ideal times based on your Google Calendar and email context.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• The new tool appears below the Gmail compose window, showing suggested times based on your availability.

• You can edit or remove proposed time slots before inserting them into an email.

• When the recipient confirms a time, a calendar invite is auto-generated for both parties.

• Gemini’s AI factors in email context—like meeting duration or timeframe—to fine-tune its suggestions.

• Currently supports only one-on-one meetings; no group scheduling functionality yet.

💡 Why This Stands Out: This feature reflects Google’s broader push to embed AI directly into Workspace tools, reducing the friction of routine tasks like scheduling. Unlike third-party tools such as Calendly or Doodle, Google’s native AI leverages both calendar data and real-time email content for smarter suggestions. As Google deepens Gemini’s integration across Gmail, Calendar, and other apps, the future of productivity may lie in ambient, context-aware AI—not standalone scheduling tools.
