ENTERPRISE AI

💼 Google Launches Gemini Enterprise

Google unveiled Gemini Enterprise, a full-scale AI platform that lets organizations securely build, deploy, and manage workplace AI agents, its most direct challenge yet to OpenAI and Anthropic in the enterprise market.

→ Companies can create agents for sales, HR, finance, marketing, and engineering
→ Integrates directly with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and SAP
→ Includes prebuilt research and automation agents plus a no-code builder
→ Central governance dashboard for security, audit, and compliance
→ Pricing starts at $30/seat/month, with a $21 business plan and 30-day free trial

Why is important: Gemini Enterprise marks Google’s biggest step yet into workplace AI. By blending reasoning, automation, and access to company data under one platform, Google is positioning Gemini as a serious rival to ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude for Work in the race to power the AI-driven office.

ROBOTICS

🤖 Figure AI Unveils Figure 03

Figure AI just unveiled Figure 03, its third-generation humanoid robot built for real-world use, not just lab demos. Powered by Helix, Figure’s in-house “vision-language-action” model, the robot can reportedly wash dishes, clean floors, and handle household chores without human control.

→ Responds to voice commands for tasks or questions
→ Can navigate stairs, tight corners, and changing layouts on its own
→ Stands 5'6" tall, carries up to 20 kg, and runs 5 hours per charge
→ Features dual palm cameras and custom tactile sensors sensitive enough to feel a paper clip
→ Built with foam padding, washable textile covers, and wireless charging

Why is important: Figure 03 is the first humanoid robot Figure claims is ready for mass production, with an initial capacity of 12,000 units per year and a target of 100,000 in four years. But with no public pricing, benchmarks, or third-party tests, it’s still unclear if Figure 03 can handle the chaos of real homes, or if it’s another polished demo reel.

AI NEWS

⚡ Figma Integrates Gemini AI

Figma announced a partnership with Google to bring Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0, and Imagen 4 into its design platform, giving 13M monthly users more powerful AI-assisted tools for creating and editing images.

→ Gemini 2.5 Flash speeds up image generation, cutting latency by 50% on Figma’s “Make Image” feature
→ Designers can now prompt, edit, and refine images directly within Figma
→ Integration works alongside Figma’s existing Google Cloud partnership
→ Part of a broader push by AI makers to embed models into widely used apps

Why is important: AI is moving into the apps we already use. For designers, this means faster workflows and smarter tools. For Google, it’s a bigger footprint for Gemini AI across both creative and enterprise software.

HOW TO AI

🎨 How to Turn Any Logo or Text Into Eye-Catching Animated Graphics

You can now create professional motion graphics instantly with Hera AI, your personal AI motion designer. It works just like ChatGPT, but instead of generating text, it brings your ideas to life as animated visuals. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can use Hera to turn any logo or text into stunning motion graphics.

🧰 Who is This For

• Creators who want animated intros or logo reveals

• Marketers making ad visuals or social media motion posts

• Designers looking to speed up motion graphics creation

• Anyone who wants quick, studio-quality animations without using After Effects

STEP 1: Access Hera

Go to Hera and sign up for free. You’ll land on the main workspace that says, “Your AI Motion Designer.” The interface looks simple, in the center, there’s a large text box where you can type your prompts, and right below it, you’ll find buttons like Image, Video, Audio, Font, and CSV. Above the box, there are two small options: one lets you choose the aspect ratio, which by default is set to “Widescreen (16:9),” and the other controls duration, usually set to “Auto (max 60s).”

Now, there are two main ways to create your animation here, one using a text prompt and the other by uploading your own logo or image.

STEP 2: Create Animation Using a Text Prompt

Let’s start with the text prompt method. Inside the box that says, “Create a professional logo animation for the attached svg…”, type your prompt describing exactly what you want to create.

For example, you could write, “Create a big text animation saying “DO WHAT YOU CAN’T” in all caps and post that text on an orange background with white font. Use a bold powerful font”

Once you’ve written your prompt, press the Enter key or click on the small arrow button on the right side of the text box.

Hera will start generating your animation immediately. You’ll see a loading animation for a few seconds, and then your motion graphic will appear in the preview window.

Once satisfied, you can download it directly in formats like MP4, MOV, or GIF.

STEP 3: Animate Your Logo or Image

If you already have a logo or image that you’d like to animate, Hera can handle that too. Just click the “Image” button located below the text box, it’s the first option on the left. When you click it, choose your logo or image from your computer and wait for it to upload. Once it appears under the input box, type your prompt describing how you want it to animate.

For instance, you could say, “Animate this logo with a 3D spin and glow,” or “Make this image bounce in with a smooth fade.” After typing your instructions, press Enter or click the arrow button again.

Hera will automatically process your image and create the animation for you. Within a few seconds, you’ll see a professional-quality motion graphic based on your uploaded file.

STEP 4: Refine the Animation

The best part about Hera is that you can refine everything just by chatting with it. Once your animation loads, you can simply type your feedback like, “Make it faster,” “Change the background to black,” or “Add more depth with shadows.” Press Enter and Hera will regenerate the animation with your requested changes. You can keep refining it until you’re completely happy with the result.
