GOOGLE

🤖💡 Google working on new ‘Project Jarvis

Google is reportedly developing "Jarvis," an AI agent designed to carry out tasks on behalf of users, such as research, shopping, and booking flights directly within their web browser.

Here's what you need to know:

  • Project Jarvis is expected to integrate with Google Chrome, automating tasks by analyzing screenshots of web content and performing actions like clicking buttons or typing.

  • It will run on the upcoming Gemini 2.0 model, set to debut in December.

  • Google is expected to unveil Project Jarvis around that time alongside the new Gemini model, with initial access likely limited to a small group for testing.

  • The system currently has speed limitations, requiring a few seconds to process each action.

Why it matters:

The biggest AI companies are all working on models that perform similar tasks.

With Project Jarvis, Google is joining the race to develop "computer-using agents," aiming to make AI-driven task management a part of daily life.

META

📓 Meta releases NotebookLlama

Meta has rolled out NotebookLlama, an open-source version of Google’s popular podcast creation tool, NotebookLM.

NotebookLlama leverages Meta's own Llama models for processing tasks, and similar to its Google counterpart, it can create conversational-style summaries from text files that users upload.

Here's what you need to know:

  • NotebookLlama works by converting a file, like a PDF, into a transcript and then adds dramatization and interruptions before using text-to-speech models.

  • While the voices in NotebookLlama samples can sound overly robotic and occasionally overlap unexpectedly, Meta's team believes they can fix these issues with more advanced models.

  • They also proposed an alternative podcast creation method where two agents debate the topic and draft the podcast outline, rather than relying on a single model.

Hallucination problem in AI generated podcasts:

AI-generated podcasts still face the 'hallucination problem,' with attempts to replicate NotebookLM’s podcast feature falling short. Despite some progress, NotebookLlama also struggles with this, signaling room for improvement in future versions.
