Google Gemini लाता है स्मार्ट टाइम-टास्क: ‘Scheduled Actions’ से जुड़ें अपनी रूटीन से
Scheduled Actions – क्या है और क्यों ज़रूरी है
Google Gemini में Scheduled Actions एक नया फीचर है जो AI को सिर्फ बातचीत करने वाले टूल से बदल कर एक सक्रिय और स्वचालित सहायक बनाता है। अब आप इसे एक बार निर्देश देकर नियमित या एक‑बार के कार्य समय पर करवाने के लिए कह सकते हैं — जैसे सुबह-सुबह ईमेल का सारांश भेजना, साप्ताहिक ब्लॉग आइडियाज देना, या किसी इवेंट के अगले दिन उसका सारांश तैयार करना ।
कैसे उपयोग करें
Gemini ऐप (वेब या मोबाइल) खोलें और कोई सामान्य चैट शुरू करें।
चैट में वही प्रेरणा वाली बात लिखें, जैसे:
“हर सुबह 8 बजे मेरी ईमेल और कैलेंडर का सारांश भेजो।”
“हर सोमवार मुझे पांच ब्लॉग पोस्ट आइडिया दो।”
Gemini आपसे पूछेगा कि क्या आप इसे नियमित (Recurring) रखना चाहेंगे—हाँ कहें और समय चुनें।
ये सभी क्रिया आपको “Scheduled actions” टैब में Settings > Scheduled actions के अंतर्गत मिलेंगी, जहाँ आप इन्हें देख सकते हैं, अन-एक्टिवेट कर सकते हैं, संपादित कर सकते हैं, या हटा सकते हैं।
उपलब्धता और सीमाएँ
यह फीचर Google AI Pro और Gemini AI Ultra सब्सक्रिप्शन पर उपलब्ध है, साथ ही कुछ Google Workspace बिज़नेस और एजुकेशन योजनाओं में भी शामिल है। फ्री यूज़र्स को अभी यह उपलब्ध नहीं है।
एक समय में अधिकतम 10 सक्रिय Scheduled Actions रखे जा सकते हैं।
मोबाइल पर फ़ोन नोटिफिकेशन के माध्यम से रिमाइंडर मिलते हैं; सेटिंग्स में इन्हें पॉज़ या फिर से चालू भी किया जा सकता है।
साप्ताहिक अपडेट: ब्लॉग आइडियाज, टीम मीटिंग सारांश, वीकेंड प्लान
घटना-आधारित प्रोम्प्ट: कोई अवार्ड शो या कोई इवेंट हो, तो अगले दिन उसका सारांश।
गूगल इकोसिस्टम से इंटीग्रेशन: Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sports अपडेट्स आदि से सीधा जुङाव इन कार्यों में शामिल किया जा सकता है।
क्यों महत्वपूर्ण है
इसे क्रोन-जॉब की तरह देख सकते हैं, लेकिन यूज़र‑फ्रेंडली UI और आवाज/टेक्स्ट के जरिए गूगल इकोसिस्टम से गहरा जुड़ाव इसे सभी पर्यावरण के लिए सक्षम और उपयोगी बनाता है ।
ChatGPT जैसे प्रतिस्पर्धियों से मुकाबले में Gemini को अधिक प्रॉक्टिव और व्यक्तिगत डिजिटल असिस्टेंट बनाता है ।
उपयोग कैसे शुरू करें?
सदस्यता लें: AI Pro/Ultra या Google Workspace के योग्य खाते का उपयोग सुनिश्चित करें।
सेटअप करें: Gemini ऐप में चैट शुरू कर कार्य और समय बताएं, और “Scheduled actions” टैब में जाकर उन्हें प्रबंधित करें।
सामग्री लें: रोज़ाना अपने नोटिफिकेशन्स (‘Gemini’ नाम से) मोबाइल या वेब पर प्राप्त करें।
Gemini 2.5 Pro में Deep Think मोड का पदार्पण—AI में मानवीय‑तरह की सोच की दिशा में बड़ा कदम
Deep Think – क्या है?
Google Gemini 2.5 Pro मॉडल में Deep Think एक विशेष “एनहांस्ड रीज़निंग मोड” है, जो AI को एक ही समय में कई संभावनाएँ (hypotheses) सोचना और उनका विश्लेषण करना सिखाता है। यह क्षमता उस तर्क-संगत प्रक्रिया को दर्शाती है, जहां मॉडल किसी समस्या का हल खोजने से पहले गहराई से सोचता है।
प्रमुख विशेषताएँ
कई स्तरीय रीज़निंग
Deep Think मोड में Gemini जटिल गणित, कोडिंग और मल्टीमॉडल दिमागी चुनौतियों के दौरान, कदम दर कदम सोचकर बेहतर उत्तर प्रदान करता है ।
उत्कृष्ट प्रदर्शन प्रदर्शनों पर
भारत और विश्व के कठिनतम गणितीय परीक्षा USAMO 2025 में Gemini ने उत्कृष्ट स्कोर किया।
MMMU जैसे मल्टीमॉडल रीज़निंग चैलेंज में यह लगभग 84% तक पहुँच गया।
जैसा कि बेंचमार्क दिखाते हैं
WebDev Arena और LMArena जैसे कोडिंग तथा मौखिक रैंकिंग प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think ने उच्च परिणाम दिए।
AI और कोडिंग थिंकटैंक में यह मॉडल सबसे सटीक और प्रतिभाशाली माना गया।
उपयोग कैसे करें?
यह मोड Gemini 2.5 Pro में स्वचालित तौर पर उपलब्ध होता है, विशेष रूप से API या Vertex AI के माध्यम से।
उपयोगकर्ता, जैसे विकासक (developers), इसका चयन कर सकते हैं – या तो स्थिर रूप से, या “thinking budgets” का प्रयोग करके समय/कंप्यूटिंग संसाधनों को नियंत्रित करते हुए।
लाभ और सीमाएँ
लाभ:
गणित, कोडिंग और जटिल समस्या-समाधान में बेहतरीन निष्पादन
तर्कशक्ति, स्पष्टता और विश्वसनीयता में noticeable सुधार।
सीमाएँ:
इस मोड में अधिक प्रोसेसिंग समय और संसाधन लगता है, इसलिए यह अभी सीमित उपयोग के लिए — जैसे “trusted testers” को प्रदर्शित किया जा रहा है, और व्यापक उपयोग से पहले सुरक्षा परीक्षण चल रहे हैं।
वापसी क्यों मायने रखती है?
Human‑like reasoning: Deep Think, मानव-मस्तिष्क जैसी सोच प्रक्रिया लाने की दिशा में एक बड़ा कदम है।
AGI की ओर संकेत: Google DeepMind के CEO डेमिस हैसैबिस ने बताया कि यह क्षमताएँ AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) जैसे लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त करने की दिशा में मदद कर रही हैं।

यह समस्या लगभग 10 जून की दोपहर करीब 12:30 PM IST से शुरू हुई, जब उपयोगकर्ताओं ने चैट विंडो में “Hmm… something seems to have gone wrong” या “A network error occurred” जैसी त्रुटि संदेश मिलने की शिकायतें शुरू कीं। Downdetector पर रिपोर्ट की संख्या अचानक बढ़कर कई हजार हो गई।
OpenAI ने अपनी स्थिति पृष्ठ पर पुष्टि की कि ChatGPT, साथ ही Sora और API सेवाओं में “elevated error rates and latency” आ रही थी और तकनीकी टीम इस पर काम कर रही थी।
यह आउटलाइज़ लगभग 3 AM ET (~12:30 PM IST) से शुरू हुई और करीब 6:32 PM ET (~8:02 PM IST) तक API सर्विस पुनः पटरी पर आ गई, जिससे अधिकांश ChatGPT फीचर्स भी बहाल हो गए, हालाँकि “voice mode” में अभी भी कुछ त्रुटियां बनी रहीं।
समस्या की अवधि के दौरान करोड़ों उपयोगकर्ता प्रभावित हुए — India में लगभग 800, US में 1,100, UK में 1,450+ शिकायतें दर्ज हुईं।

सोशल मीडिया पर मीम्स, गुस्सा, और चिंता दिखाई दी
तकनीकी कारण (Technical Causes)
Server overload / infrastructure strain विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि अचानक traffic spike की वजह से OpenAI की backend इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर — विशेषकर web app और API layer — अत्यधिक लोड से ग्रस्त हो गई, जिससे सर्वर क्रैश या टाइम‑आउट जैसी समस्याएं पनपीं। Downdetector पर रिपोर्ट्स एकाएक हजारों तक पहुँच गईं, जो परिलक्षित करती है कि सर्वर पर कितनी भारी मांग थी ।
Concurrent request saturation एरर संदेश “Too many concurrent requests” आने का मतलब है कि एक सीमित समय में जुटे बहुत सारे यूज़र रिक्वेस्ट को संसाधित नहीं किया जा सका, जिससे OpenAI ने throttle करना शुरू कर दिया।
Load balancing / regional routing glitch Medium की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार कुछ load balancing या regional routing सर्विसेस (जैसे OAuth, authentication) गलत तरीके से triaged होने से error rates और लेटेंसी की समस्या बनी रही।
Server-side error या deployment bug इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर पर अचानक deployment या internal update को चलते हुए बग आने की संभावना भी सामने आई — जैसा कि TechRadar-वाली रिपोर्ट ने ज़िक्र किया।
उपयोगकर्ता अनुभव
Error संदेश:
“Hmm… something seems to have gone wrong”
“A network error occurred”
और विशेष रूप से “Too many concurrent requests” error।
लोड समय और स्लोग सर्विसेज़: कुछ यूज़र्स को संदेश डिलीवर होते-पहुंचने में कई सेकेंड या मिनट लग रहे थे; दूसरी ओर कुछ को चैट विंडो ही blank दिखाई दे रही थी।
वॉयस मोड और API users: “वॉयस मोड” और API क्लाइंट्स भी प्रभावित थे; खासतौर पर वॉइस इंटरफेस अब भी धीमा था — जैसा कि सुधारों के बाद भी स्पष्ट था।
सोशल मीडिया वाइब्स
Reddit और भारतीय प्लेटफ़ॉर्म्स पर यूज़र्स की प्रतिक्रिया:
“I just stayed up till 4:30 a.m. getting my last part of a project done so ChatGPT could review it… Lovely way to head to bed.” — एक Reddit यूज़र।
“Millions forced to use brain as ChatGPT takes day off.” — Reddit पर memes बन रहे थे।
“When @ChatGPT is so overworked it can’t even finish your message…” — X (Twitter) पोस्ट में लिखा गया।
Twitter पर भी similar झलक:
“ChatGPT is down…Which means I actually have to type out my own emails at work. Send prayers.” — X यूज़र।
और memes कुछ यूज़र्स ने साझा किए:
“My work buddy is down again.” “How to write an email without ChatGPT?” इत्यादि।
विश्लेषण & क्या सुधार हुआ?
OpenAI की प्रतिक्रिया:
शुरुआती रिपोर्ट 3 AM ET (~12:30 PM IST) से थीं, और 9:43 AM ET तक OpenAI ने root cause पहचाना और सुधार योजना पर काम शुरू किया।
API को लगभग 6:32 PM ET (~8:02 PM IST) तक पुनर्स्थापित कर लिया गया, और ChatGPT का अधिकांश भाग भी वापिस आया; हालांकि वॉयस मोड में अब भी सुधार जारी था।
Adoption पर असर:
यह आउटेज दर्शाता है कि OpenAI की सेवाएँ कितना व्यापक रूप से daily workflows, शिक्षा, content creation और business workflows में शामिल हो चुकी हैं ।
विश्वास और redundancy विचार:
यह घटना ये संकेत देती है कि एजुकेशनल संस्थाएँ और कंपनियाँ अब back‑up strategies (जैसे Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Bing AI) अपनाने पर विचार कर रही हैं, ताकि critical समय पर AI न चले पर भी काम रोके नहीं।
हंसी में दर्द, गुस्सा और आत्मा पर चोट (“कौन करता है काम अब?”)
सुधार की गति
समानांतर API रिस्टोर, ChatGPT का अधिकांश पुनर्स्थापित, लेकिन voice mode थोड़ा पीछे
सिख
Mission‑critical सेवाओं के लिए redundancy आवश्यक, और AI प्रणाली की विश्वसनीयता पर विश्वास बढ़ाएँ
नोट:
यदि आप अभी भी समस्या का सामना कर रहे हैं—जैसे चैट लेटेंसी, login issue या voice मॉड्यूल से related errors—तो OpenAI की स्थिति पेज (status.openai.com) और Downdetector पर रीयल‑टाइम अपडेट्स देखें।
Sora में ग्लोबल आउटेज – फुल अप्डेट
10 जून, 2025 को विश्वभर में लगभग सुबह 3 AM ET (लगभग 12:30 PM IST) से Sora सेवाएं बाधित रहीं। OpenAI ने अपनी स्टेटस पेज पर “elevated error rates and latency” घोषित किया, जिसमें स्पष्ट रूप से Sora में भी “elevated error rates” दर्ज किए गए
Downdetector जैसी साइटों पर यूज़र्स द्वारा वीडियो जनरेशन विफलता, धीमी प्रतिक्रिया, और त्रुटि संदेश मिलने की भारी शिकायतें दर्ज हुईं। यह समस्या न केवल ChatGPT बल्कि Sora और OpenAI APIs को भी प्रभावित कर रही थी।
OpenAI ने दोपहर तक यह दावा किया कि उन्होंने समस्या का मूल कारण पहचान लिया है, और सुधार कार्य लगभग सभी सर्विसेज — विशेषकर APIs और ChatGPT के लिए — 6:32 PM ET (8:02 PM IST) तक हो गए। हालांकि Sora में सुधार का विवरण भी शामिल था, लेकिन “voice mode” सहित वॉयस आधारित AI टूल्स में कुछ त्रुटियां बनी रहीं।
इतने घंटे के अंतराल में Sora का वीडियो जनरेशन या तो बिल्कुल बंद था या बेहद धीमा (15 मिनट से अधिक समय तक फंसी प्रक्रियाएं), जिससे उपयोगकर्ता भारी रूप से प्रभावित हुए ।
तकनीकी Fallout और यूज़र प्रतिक्रिया
Sora वीडियो जनरेशन में “Service at capacity” या “Error in message stream” जैसी त्रुटियां अक्सर नजर आ रही थीं, जिसका प्रभाव चैटबॉट कार्यों के साथ-साथ वीडियो क्रिएशन पर भी पड़ा।
सोशल मीडिया पर #SoraDown के तहत व्यंग्य और तीखा विरोध देखा गया, जैसे कई यूज़र्स ने मज़ाक में पूछा “अब वीडियो कौन बनाएगा?” या “क्या अब हाथ से वीडियो बनानी पड़ेगी?”।
स्थिति का सारांश
समय: 10 जून, सुबह 12:30 PM IST से शुरू, लगभग घंटों तक जारी रहा।
प्रभाव: पूरी दुनिया में Sora उपयोगकर्ता प्रभावित।
Root Cause: उच्च एरर रेट और लेटेंसी — मूल कारण अभी भी लगभग OpenAI की जांच प्रक्रिया में था।
ऽRecovery टाइम: API और ChatGPT सुधार लगभग शाम 8:02 PM IST तक; Sora लॉग्स में सुधार का संकेत थे लेकिन वॉयस मोड में समस्याएं बनी रहीं।
यदि आज भी कोई परेशानी हो रही है: OpenAI की स्थिति पेज (status.openai.com) पर रीयल‑टाइम अपडेट उपलब्ध हैं। अगर वीडियो जनरेशन में वॉयस मोड या अन्य मॉड्यूल काम नहीं कर रहे, तो उसे वहाँ रिपोर्ट करें और स्थिति रिपोर्ट्स पर नजर रखें।

WWDC 2025 के बाद Apple के शेयर में गिरावट
9 जून 2025 को हुए WWDC की मुख्य प्रस्तुति (keynote) के दौरान Apple ने बड़े बदलावों का वादा किया, लेकिन निवेशकों को जो दिखा उस पर उन्हें संतोषजनक नहीं लगा। कंपनी ने iOS 26 में “Liquid Glass” डिज़ाइन, स्मार्ट ट्रांसलेशन और AI-संचालित Genmoji जैसी नई सुविधाएँ पेश कीं, लेकिन एक उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली Siri की अपग्रेड पर एक बार फिर रोक का संकेत दिया। Craig Federighi ने स्पष्ट किया कि यह Siri रिलॉन्च अभी तैयार नहीं है और Apple इसे “आगामी वर्ष” तक लॉन्च नहीं करेगा ।
नतीजतन, WWDC के शुरुआती 6 मिनट में ही AAPL के शेयर लगभग 2.5% नीचे आ गए, 206 USD से 201 USD तक, जिससे बाजार में Apple की AI दौड़ में पिछड़ने की आशंका गहरी हो गई। अगले कुछ घंटों में यह नुकसान 1%–1.7% तक घट गया, और अंततः बंद हुआ लगभग 201.4 USD पर, यानी लगभग 1.5% की गिरावट के साथ ।
निवेशक चिंता के मुख्य कारण
AI में धीमी प्रगति: लंबे समय से प्रतीक्षित Siri AI पर और देरी से निवेशकों में निराशा।
प्रतिस्पर्धा की तेज़ रफ्तार: Google, Microsoft, OpenAI आदि कंपनियाँ AI में तेजी से आगे बढ़ रही हैं, जबकि Apple की प्रगति अपेक्षाकृत धीमी दिख रही है ।
स्टॉक प्रदर्शन पर असर: साल की शुरुआत से Apple का शेयर लगभग 16%–20% गिर चुका है।
तकनीकी विश्लेषण: Forexlive के अनुसार शेयर 100- और 200-घंटे की औसत से नीचे ट्रेड कर रहे हैं, जो संभावित रूप से और गिरावट का संकेत हो सकता है।
Apple की रणनीति और आगे का रास्ता
Apple ने अपनाए ‘on‑device AI’ मॉडल (जैसे Live Translation, Workout Buddy आदि) पर ज़ोर दिया है, साथ ही ‘Foundation Models framework’ के जरिए डेवलपर्स को AI टूल्स उपलब्ध कराने की भी शुरुआत की है। हालांकि, मुख्य बात यह है कि भले ही कंपनी AI में धीरे-धीरे आगे बढ़ रही है, पर इसकी गति और समय दोनों निवेशकों की अपेक्षाओं से पीछे हैं। इस लिए कई विश्लेषकों का सुझाव है कि Apple को या तो AI में तेज़ी लानी होगी, या फिर यह क्षेत्र में निवेशकों की नज़रों से धीरे-धीरे गायब हो जाएगी।
WWDC 2025 ने Apple को बाल-बाल बचाया लेकिन निवेशकों को निराश किया। Shares में 1–1.5% की गिरावट दर्शाती है कि Apple को AI में और ठोस प्रदर्शन देना होगा। यदि अगले कुछ महीनों में Siri जैसी प्रमुख AI सुविधाएँ समय पर लॉन्च नहीं होती हैं, तो यह निवेशकों के विश्वास को और कमजोर कर सकता है।

Google Settles Racial Discrimination Lawsuit for $50 Million
Google has agreed to pay $50 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by Black employees who alleged systemic racial discrimination within the company. The lawsuit, initiated in March 2022, accused Google of fostering a corporate culture that marginalized Black employees through practices such as assigning them to lower-level positions, providing lower compensation, downgrading performance reviews, and hindering career advancement.
