As the list of AI-powered apps and features continues to grow, Google Meet’s newest offering may be one of the most exciting. Entitled ‘Duet AI,’ the feature is designed to run within Google Meet and can take notes for attendees. To use, simply click ‘take notes for me’ and the app will produce a summary — and action items — from what’s discussed in the meeting. If you’re late to the call, it can give you a mid-meeting summary of what you missed. If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed after a call, the program can provide a full summary of what was covered, which you can save as a document in Drive. Best of all, Duet can even attend meetings on your behalf. Google has announced that the feature is available now, and users can try the feature with a no-cost trial.

Today we’re taking a look at the AquisPro 4000m, Vân Vân and a collab between Blundstone and L.L.Bean. This is Today in Gear.

The new timepiece is the most water-resistant dive watch Oris has ever created. Equipped with a 49.5mm titanium case, the watch can withstand pressures up to 400 bar — which means it boasts 4,000 meters of water resistance. It also features the brand’s Rotation Safety System bezel, which was designed in collaboration with professional divers to ensure the bezel can lock in place. Powered by the Oris Caliber 400, the AquisPro 4000m ($6,200) is finished with a striking blue gradient dial adorned with a wave pattern and blue ceramic bezel insert.
