    • Generates interactive dashboards and chart visualizations.

  • Usage limits:

    • Supports 1,000 query tokens per statement.

    • Default quota: 24 jobs per minute, expandable to 30 jobs/min for enterprise users.

  • Ideal use cases: Analytics teams can use Gemini to run multi-step joins, handle ad hoc analysis, and quickly surface insights from large-scale datasets without writing manual queries.

This integration streamlines business intelligence workflows, reducing the time required to transform raw data into actionable insights.


Cloud SQL Studio introduces Gemini-powered SQL prompts.

Cloud SQL Studio received a significant upgrade in August 2025, allowing Gemini to assist developers directly within the Cloud SQL editor.

  • Features:

    • Context-aware SQL query generation for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

    • Inline explanations for queries to assist with debugging.

  • Usage constraints:

    • Supports context windows up to 64,000 tokens per session.

    • Enforces Cloud IAM roles to maintain strict data governance.

By embedding Gemini’s assistance into database workflows, developers can write and optimize SQL faster, reducing debugging time and accelerating feature delivery.


Flow AI filmmaking suite brings multimodal video creation.

Google introduced the Flow AI filmmaking suite at I/O May 2025, combining Gemini Pro with Veo 3 to enable high-quality video production directly from text and storyboard inputs.

  • Key capabilities:

    • Generate short-form video clips based on natural-language prompts.

    • Transform storyboards into cinematic visual sequences.

    • Integrate music and transitions automatically using pre-trained style models.

  • Limits and access:

    • Gemini Pro users: Up to 100 video renders per month.

    • Gemini Ultra subscribers: Unlimited renders under fair-use policy.

  • Recent promotion: A Veo 3 weekend event (19–22 August) temporarily allowed free users to create up to three videos as part of Google’s public trial.

Flow AI demonstrates Gemini’s growing focus on multimodal creative tools, making text-to-video generation more accessible to content creators and enterprises.


Canvas interactive space improves app prototyping.

Launched in July 2025, Canvas is an interactive visual workspace integrated into Gemini Apps, aimed at low-code app development and web-based prototyping.

  • Key features:
