Google is quietly stuffing Google Labs with some seriously creative AI experiments… and most folks have no clue they even exist. These 11 tools from that infographic? All free, all browser-based, and way more practical than your average AI toy.
1. Career Dreamer – Unlock Your Hidden Career Paths
Career Dreamer is this neat AI tool that takes your skills, hobbies and life quirks… and spins them into a visual map of jobs you might actually crush. Answer a few questions about your background, and boom – it shows paths you never considered, plus how to talk about them in interviews or on LinkedIn. It’s perfect if you’re job hunting, switching careers or just curious. This tool helps draft your “career story” and ties into free Google training. Right now it’s US-only pilot, but keep an eye on it… this is how AI will personalize career advice soon.
2. Mixboard – From Brainstorm Chaos to Slick Presentations
Mixboard acts like your digital corkboard for ideas… dump notes, images, prompts, and AI sorts them into themes, then builds slide outlines. No more staring at blank PowerPoints. As a blogger, I see it bridging raw ideas to client pitches or workshop decks. Say you’re prepping a talk on n8n workflows… throw in screenshots, pain points, prompts… and it structures the flow. Quick, visual, and collaborative.
3. Whisk – Remix Any Image in Seconds
Whisk lets you upload a photo and remix it into wild new styles or scenes. Not full Photoshop, but perfect for fast creative twists. Use it for product shots turning bland into branded thumbnails… or a Kuwait street pic into futuristic vibes for your blog header. Experiment styles like “cyberpunk restaurant” or “minimalist gadget” before hiring a designer. Browser-only magic.
4. MusicFX – Generate Custom Tracks from Text
MusicFX turns prompts into full music tracks… “upbeat electronic with Indian fusion beats” or “chill lo-fi for coding sessions.” Now up to 70 seconds, with expressive tweaks for mood shifts. Content creators, this is gold for Reels intros, podcast music or ad jingles. Prototype ideas without a studio… test “energetic Kuwait National Day vibe” then refine. Enjoy!
5. Food Mood – Mood‑Based Recipe Sparks
Food Mood generates fusion recipes from your cravings or ingredients… “comfort food but healthy, with Middle Eastern twists.” For restaurant owners or home chefs, it’s a spark for new menu items or beating dinner ruts. “Spicy quick lunch using fridge leftovers”… . Kitchen brainstorming buddy.
6. TextFX – Wordplay Playground with Lupe Fiasco
Built with rapper Lupe Fiasco, TextFX remixes your text into rhymes, metaphors or fresh phrasings. Feed it a blog hook… get 10 variations. Writers and lyricists: bust blocks with unconventional ideas. For my posts, it’s great for punchy titles or social captions… “AI automation in GCC” becomes rhythmic alternatives. Pure language fun.
7. Talking Tours – AI Narrates Street View
Talking Tours overlays AI audio stories on Google Street View landmarks. Snap a view of a museum or site… get instant narration. Virtual travel for classrooms, content or accessibility. Record Dubai souks or Salmiya spots for your channel… or teach history hands-free. Multimodal AI at work.
8. Little Language Lessons – Camera‑Powered Vocab
Point your camera at objects… get labels, translations and audio in any language. Everyday stuff like kitchen tools or office gear becomes vocab builders. Indeed useful tool.
9. Illuminate – Articles as Podcasts
Illuminate turns dense articles into conversational audio… like a custom podcast on your research paper or report. Busy pros: listen to whitepapers on commutes. Students: grasp complex topics faster. Pair text + voice for better retention. I mostly listen podcasts while commuting, it’s indeed a great feeling.
10. Learn About – Visual Breakdowns of Tough Topics
Enter any concept… get interactive diagrams and step-by-steps. Machine learning? Cloud security? Kid‑friendly visuals. Explain AI to execs or noobs… turn it into training modules. Bite‑sized clarity over walls of text.
11. GenType – Custom Fonts from Prompts
GenType designs whole alphabets… “letters from circuit boards” or “burgers and fries font.” Download and use anywhere. Branding pros: prototype logos fast. Blogs: unique headers. Fun for events or kids’ books.
Why Bother with These Labs Toys?
These aren’t just demos… they’re glimpses of AI embedding into daily workflows – careers, kitchens, designs, learning. Techies and entrepreneurs are encouraged to play with them now… Experiment freely. Many of them will upgrade to as full app or combined with existing one.
