The appearance of ChatGPT at the end of 2022 created a global "fever", opening an era of applying artificial intelligence (AI) in study, work and daily life.

Although entering the race later than OpenAI, Google is proving its strategy of being late but on the right track with the launch of a series of famous AI products.

Among them, the three most prominent names in recent times are NotebookLM, Veo 3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro - tools that quickly gained the attention and were widely used by the Vietnamese technology community.

NotebookLM - Intensive study and research assistant

NotebookLM was introduced by Google as a tool that helps users turn their own data into a specialized virtual assistant. With the ability to remember context for each user, different from general chatbots, NotebookLM has expanded to more than 180 regions and supports more than 50 languages ​​on the browser. This tool is considered by many to help save hours in reading documents.

Currently, NotebookLM supports 4 output formats, including audio (Audio Overview), video (Video Overview), mind map (Mind Map) and report (Report). These four formats appear in 4 separate boxes in the Studio control panel for users to easily choose.

In addition to its basic uses, NotebookLM can also be applied in many specialized fields. For example, it can synthesize and analyze a series of research papers to find trends or knowledge gaps.

The tool also assists writers and screenwriters in world building, plot suggestion or character consistency checking. In a corporate environment, NotebookLM also serves as a hub for organizing and analyzing project documents, helping to optimize management processes.

According to Google, Vietnam is in the top 10 countries using NotebookLM the most in the world, along with India, Japan, Korea...

Veo 3 - AI video creation conquers content creators

Veo 3, Google's next-generation video creation model, can create clips from text descriptions or images. With smooth image quality and natural motion, the tool has been used to create more than 40 million videos since its launch in May 2025 and has expanded to more than 150 countries.

From July 3, Google Veo 3 officially supports the Vietnamese market. When registering for the AI ​​Pro package, users are given 1,000 AI credits per month and create up to 10 videos.

This product not only helps small content creators reduce production costs but also has applications in professional fields. Veo 3 can quickly create high-quality promotional videos with customizable frame rates. In the art field, it is capable of creating short films with high artistic quality, simulating physics, realistic lighting and shadows.

Although not the first AI video generator on the market, Veo 3 impresses with its ability to create audio (including dialogue, background music, environmental sound effects), especially supporting Vietnamese. All videos created by Veo 3 will display an easily recognizable watermark and be embedded with a hidden SynthID digital signature, helping to identify the AI ​​origin of the content and increase transparency.

Gemini 2.5 Pro - "Trump card" in the smart chatbot race

Gemini 2.5 Pro, the latest upgrade in the Gemini series, is positioned by Google as a direct competitor to ChatGPT. Recently, Gemini has surpassed ChatGPT on the App Store in several countries, including Vietnam, thanks to the Nano Banana photo creation and editing tool.

Gemini's strength lies in its ability to handle multiple modalities, not just text but also images, audio and video. Currently, the Gemini app has about 450 million monthly active users.

Gemini 2.5 Pro is being used in many professional fields. This tool can generate source code for complex web applications or analyze and edit code, helping programmers work more efficiently.

In enterprise data analytics, Gemini can interpret complex statements and help build predictive models. It is also used to optimize workflows by summarizing emails and generating research documents.

The simultaneous appearance of NotebookLM, Veo 3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro shows that Google is trying to cover all needs: from learning, content creation to office work. The rapid popularity of these three tools in Vietnam proves that domestic users are ready to embrace the global AI trend.

According to the World AI Index 2025 ranking by the Global Independent Market Research Network (WIN), Vietnam ranked 3rd in AI trust and 5th in AI acceptance, and 17th in actual AI use.

However, besides the obvious benefits, risks of security, copyright and misinformation still exist, posing the problem of managing and building a legal framework for AI in the future.
