Gemini for the web has recently seen some updates, including a new placeholder for a release announcement targeting August 22nd. This brings the total to five placeholders, with one already set for August 23rd. Notably, the recent Pixel event announcement from August 13th hasn't been reflected on the Gemini website yet. The rollout of Gemini Live is expected to conclude around these dates, meaning all users should have access by then. As a result, the upcoming announcement might not be particularly significant.
August 22 was added to the Gemini announcements pipeline with 4 placeholders (5 in total if you count August 23).

Keep in mind that recent announcements from Pixel haven't been posted there yet. It may be just a signal of the Gemini live rollout end. pic.twitter.com/TdeR9LegmE
In terms of ongoing developments, there are some notable changes. The prompt gallery has been renamed to "Get Inspired," and animations have received further polish. Additionally, a new feature has appeared when generating images: hovering over an image now reveals an option called "Open Creative Partner." This suggests that Gemini might be introducing tools similar to Pixel Studio or ImageFX, possibly allowing for image inpainting or other editing features. However, it's still unclear what this will entail, and it may be some time before we see anything concrete.
