Google Dreambeans is like a more visual, story-oriented version of Gemini Daily Brief, and it’s now available for those with a Google AI Plus, AI Pro, or AI Ultra subscription in the U.S. on Android and iPhone.
“Dreambeans uses Google’s latest AI capabilities, like Personal Intelligence and Nano Banana 2, to proactively dream up personalized daily stories that cut through the clutter and connect you to what matters,” the original Dreambeans announcement post from this past June explains. “With your permission, Dreambeans uses Personal Intelligence to connect information from your Google apps, including Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search history to curate stories that inspire and delight you. The goal is not to scroll forever, it’s a finite collection of stories designed to spark new ideas and allow you to focus on what matters to you.”
Each story in Dreambeans is called a dreambean, of course, and each consists of personalized topics–places to explore, shows to watch, reminders for upcoming events, and so on–and connected apps like Gmail, Google Calendar, Gemini, Google Photos, Google Search, and YouTube. If you connect Google Photos, Dreambeans will incorporate visuals of you and your family and friends into the stories and let you engage with them in interesting ways.
Yes, the name is quirky. But Dreambeans looks really cool and I’m curious to give it a shot. You can learn more on the Google Labs website.
