Google opens AI check to everyone and launches game builder and offline meeting notes

In just a few days, Google has launched three new AI tools: a public AI checker, a game builder and an app that writes meeting notes without internet.

Check whether something was made by AI

Google has opened a public website where you can upload images, video and audio and see whether the content was made with AI. The check is based on SynthID, an invisible watermark that Google has embedded in content from its own AI models, including Nano Banana, Veo and Lyria.

The site accepts common file types such as JPG, PNG, MP4, MOV, MP3 and WAV. According to TechBriefly, people currently run around one million checks a day, both via the site and via features in Google's own products.

There is, however, an important limitation. The tool can only recognize content with the SynthID watermark. Microsoft and Meta use their own, incompatible standards, so the site cannot detect their AI content. None of these tools are flawless. A "not found" therefore does not automatically mean that something is real.

Games from a text description

Google Labs has launched Playground, where you can describe a game in plain text and have it built as a browser game. You do not need to know how to code. The service uses Google's models Gemini, Nano Banana and Lyria.

For now, Playground is only open to users in the US who are 18 or older. You use a weekly token budget when making games, while it is free to view and play other people's games in the catalog. It is marked as an experiment.

Meeting notes that stay on your computer

The third piece of news is Google AI Edge Foresight, an experimental app for Mac. It listens in on meetings and expands your quick bullet points into fuller notes. Transcription, audio and your files stay on the computer, and the app works without an internet connection. That can be interesting if you work with confidential information. The app is optimized for Apple chips.

What does it mean for you?

It becomes easier to check suspicious images and audio, but only partially. The game tool and Foresight are still experiments, and Playground is not open to Danes yet.

What it means for you

If you suspect that an image, a video or an audio file is fake, you can upload it to Google's website and get a quick hint. It works best on content from Google's own AI models, so a "not found" is no guarantee that something is real. If you work with confidential information and use a Mac, you can try Foresight, because the meeting notes stay on your own computer. The game tool Playground is only open in the US, so you will have to wait for that one.
