Google is under fire in Europe after a group of publishers filed an antitrust complaint over its AI Overviews. The group claims the feature is damaging their visibility, traffic, and revenue by replacing traditional search links with AI-generated summaries.

The Details:

  • The Independent Publishers Alliance filed an EU complaint on June 30, accusing Google of abusing its dominance in search

  • The group says Google’s AI Overviews use publisher content to generate summaries, displacing original links in search results

  • The complaint alleges publishers can’t opt out of being used for AI training without vanishing from search entirely

  • Foxglove Legal, Movement for an Open Web, and others backed the complaint, calling for urgent interim measures

  • Google says its AI features generate new search demand and send billions of clicks to websites daily

Why it matters:

This complaint is part of a growing global pushback against how big tech uses publisher content to train AI. As Google doubles down on AI in Search, publishers fear losing the little control they have left, and potentially their entire audience. Regulators in both the EU and UK are now under pressure to act before traditional journalism becomes an AI casualty.

Google is bringing its customizable Gemini AI assistants, known as “Gems,” directly into the side panel of Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and more, giving users instant access to specialized chatbots without leaving their workspace.

The Details:

  • Gems are now available in the side panel of Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail

  • Users can access both pre-made and custom Gems for tasks like copywriting, code generation, and sales pitches

  • Custom Gems can’t be created inside Workspace apps but can be built at gemini.google.com/gems/create

  • Users can upload files to give Gems task-specific context or use Google’s built-in templates

  • Features like file access and @-mentions are supported inside the panel

Why it matters:

This update brings Gemini’s advanced AI workflows closer to where users already work. By removing the need to switch apps, it reduces friction, boosts productivity, and makes AI feel like a natural extension of Google Workspace. Whether you’re crafting an email, generating content, or summarizing files, your custom chatbot is now just a click away.
