Early Access to AI Models: Explore Limitless Possibilities
Startups participating in the “AI Futures Fund” will have the opportunity to be among the first to experience Google DeepMind’s most advanced AI models, such as:
Gemini: A powerful multimodal AI model that can understand and generate various types of data, including text, images, audio, and video, bringing more powerful intelligence and creativity to your products and services. You can use Gemini for natural language processing, image recognition, speech synthesis, and many other applications to provide your users with a smarter and more convenient experience. For example, you can use Gemini to develop a tool that can automatically generate marketing copy or an application that can generate images based on user descriptions.
Veo: An AI model focused on video generation and editing that can generate high-quality video content based on text descriptions or prompts, making it easy to create compelling visual content. Veo can understand complex scenes and actions and translate them into realistic video footage. You can use Veo to quickly create product demo videos, animated shorts, or social media content without professional video production skills.
Imagen: A powerful image generation model that can generate highly realistic and detailed images based on text descriptions, allowing you to easily create stunning visual works. Imagen can understand subtle text descriptions and translate them into artistic images. You can use Imagen to create unique artwork, product prototypes, or marketing materials to inspire your creativity.
By being among the first to experience these cutting-edge AI models, startups can unlock new AI capabilities in their products and services, provide users with a smarter and more personalized experience, and stand out in a competitive market. For example, a startup developing an online education platform can use Gemini to provide intelligent learning guidance, Veo to create vivid teaching videos, and Imagen to create personalized learning materials, thereby improving users’ learning outcomes and satisfaction.
In addition, Google will continue to launch new AI models, and startups participating in the “AI Futures Fund” will also have the opportunity to experience these latest technological achievements first, maintaining their leading position in the field of artificial intelligence.
Google Expert Guidance: Working Alongside Top Talent
Startups participating in the “AI Futures Fund” will have the opportunity to work closely with top experts from Google DeepMind and Google Labs, including:
- Researchers: Get guidance from Google’s senior researchers, understand the latest AI technology trends, solve technical problems, and jointly explore new research directions.
- Designers: Collaborate with Google’s talented designers to optimize product user experience, create simple, easy-to-use, and aesthetically pleasing user interfaces, and improve user satisfaction.
- Engineers: Get technical support from Google’s experienced engineers to solve technical problems, optimize code structure, and improve product performance and stability.
- Marketers: Partner with Google’s experienced marketing professionals to develop effective marketing strategies, increase brand awareness, and expand the user base.
Through collaboration with these top talents, startups can receive comprehensive professional guidance and support, accelerate product development, improve product quality, and reduce entrepreneurial risks. For example, a startup developing smart home products can partner with Google’s researchers to optimize its AI algorithms and improve the product’s intelligence level; collaborate with Google’s designers to improve the product’s appearance and enhance its appeal; work with Google’s engineers to solve technical problems encountered in the actual application of the product; and partner with Google’s marketing professionals to develop effective marketing strategies to expand the product’s market share.
In addition, Google will regularly organize seminars, training courses, and exchange activities to provide participating “AI Futures Fund” startups with learning and exchange opportunities, promoting industry collaboration and innovation.
