🔍 The AI capabilities you're probably not using yet

Hey there.

Your biggest AI opportunity might not come from the biggest announcement.

In the last week, Google has quietly rolled out three impressive AI features that most professionals are completely overlooking.

And, while some may have heard of them (and maybe even bookmarked them for later), most haven’t started integrating them into their workflows.

As members of The Rundown AI University already know, there’s a big difference between reading about the latest AI updates on 𝕏, and being in the room to learn implementation tips directly from experts.

Here are three step-by-step guides we shared with our members over the past seven days to help them learn—and take action on—Google’s new updates:

Discover and organize information sources instantly 

NotebookLM is Google’s underrated knowledge platform that stops you spending hours manually searching, opening dozens of browser tabs, and trying to organize everything into some coherent structure.

With the new Discover Sources feature, you can benefit from:

• Automated discovery — Instead of searching and sorting through pages of results, simply describe what you're researching and get up to 10 curated sources with annotated summaries

• Deep integration — Sources instantly connect with other NotebookLM tools, turning research into briefing documents, FAQs, or even AI-generated audio overviews

• Seamless workflow — No more copying and pasting between tools or manually summarizing what you've found

Now, a journalist who previously spent 4-5 hours researching for an article can now accomplish the same depth in under an hour, students can quickly access relevant sources for papers without endless searching, and professionals preparing presentations can gather comprehensive background materials in minutes.

Build and deploy full-stack apps without coding 

Coding with AI isn’t new. But generating, testing, improving, debugging, and deploying full stack apps has been challenging, especially using only one platform.

Firebase Studio has aimed to simplify this process:

• From description to deployment — Simply describe your app idea in plain language and Firebase Studio generates a complete, functioning application

• True no-code development — Create custom web apps with sophisticated features without writing a single line of code

• Complete solution — Handles both frontend and backend, with automatic hosting and deployment

With this new release, entrepreneurs can validate business ideas much faster, non-technical founders can build functioning MVPs without expensive development teams, project managers can create internal tools without waiting for IT resources, and founders can build landing pages with complex functionality independently.

Upgrade your spreadsheets with AI formulas

Spreadsheets haven't changed much in decades. Most users are still manually creating complex formulas, spending hours on repetitive data entry, and struggling to extract meaningful insights.

Google Sheets' AI formula functionality is changing this experience:

• Formula suggestions — AI predicts what formulas you need based on your data context

• Smart Fill automation — Automatically detects patterns and completes repetitive tasks

• Natural language analysis — Ask questions about your data in plain English and get instant answers

Moving forward, data analysts will be able to reduce formula creation time by up to 50%, small business owners can gain instant insights without spreadsheet expertise, and marketers analyzing campaign results can generate visualizations through simple questions rather than complex formulas.
