Here is Why Gemini 3.1 Pro is Actually Better Than You Think

 Here is Why Gemini 3.1 Pro is Actually Better Than You Think:







There is a lot of noise out there about AI right now, and it is incredibly easy to get lost in the endless updates. If you are wondering whether the hype around Gemini 3.1 Pro translates to actual, everyday usefulness, the short answer is: absolutely.


I have been using the Gemini 3.1 Pro model on the Paid tier, and it brings an expanded context window alongside a serious set of tools designed to tackle complex, multi-step problems rather than just spitting out generic text.


Here is a breakdown of why this version is a massive leap forward and how it is actually changing the way I create, work, and brainstorm.


True Multimodal Mastery

For me, the biggest shift is that AI is no longer just a text box. Gemini natively generates and interacts with text, images, video, and music—all in one unified workspace. Here is a quick look at the creative capabilities it brings to the table:


Capability The Tech What It Can Actually Do The Limits

Images Nano Banana Generates, edits, and blends multiple images. The best part? It can render highly accurate text directly into visuals. 1,000 uses per day. It restricts editing images of key political figures.

Video Veo Creates stunning, high-fidelity videos with native audio. You can use reference images to guide it or even extend existing video clips. 3 uses per day. Restricted from generating political or unsafe content.

Music Lyria 3 Produces professional-grade, 30-second music tracks with realistic vocals, granular emotional control, and automated lyrics in multiple languages. All tracks are watermarked with SynthID so they can be identified as AI-generated.

Real-Time Conversation with Gemini Live

If typing out long prompts is not your speed, the conversational mode, Gemini Live, is a game-changer. I use it on my phone (it's available on Android and iOS), and it is definitely not your standard voice-to-text dictation feature. It is a fluid, real-time dialogue system.


Natural Flow & Interruption: You can speak back and forth in real-time. If it goes off-topic, you can literally interrupt it mid-sentence to steer the conversation, just like you would with a human.


Camera & Screen Sharing: This is the killer feature. You can share your phone's camera feed to ask questions about your physical surroundings, or share your screen to get contextual help with an app or document you are currently looking at.


Interactive Brainstorming: It makes it incredibly easy to discuss uploaded images, practice a new language out loud, or even talk through the details of a YouTube video while you watch it.


Built for Complex, Long-Form Tasks

Because I am using the Paid tier, I have noticed it handles extended conversations and massive amounts of context effortlessly. I am not just using it to answer trivia; it acts as a synthesizer for large datasets and a manager for multi-step workflows. It retains deep context over long interactions without losing the thread of what we are working on.


Ultimately, Gemini 3.1 Pro feels less like a search engine and more like a highly capable, multimodal partner. It is the first time I feel like I can ideate, design, code, and produce rich media all in one sitting.

How to Create a Timer or Stopwatch in Unity

How to Create a Timer or Stopwatch in Unity Timers and stopwatches are essential tools for many games, and Unity makes it easy to create them. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a simple timer or stopwatch in Unity. Steps to follow: Create a new Unity project. Create a text object in the hierarchy. Create a new script called Timer and attach it to the text object. In the Timer script, create two public variables: timeRemaining and timeIsRunning . The timeRemaining variable will store the amount of time remaining on the timer, and the timeIsRunning variable will be a boolean that determines whether the timer is running or not. Create an Update function in the Timer script. In the Update function, check if the timeIsRunning variable is true and if the timeRemaining variable is greater than zero. If both of these conditions are true, subtract the time elapsed since the last frame from the timeRemaining variable. Create a displayTime function in the Timer...

Mario in Unity 6 (2025) | Part 2: Adding Player Movement

  Mario in Unity 6 (2025) | Part 2: Adding Player Movement Welcome to Part 2 of our Mario in Unity 6 series! In the last part, we set up our project and created the player and ground sprites. Now, it’s time to breathe life into Mario by implementing player movement with C#. What’s Covered in Part 2: Writing a C# script to handle player movement. Assigning the script to the player object. Adding basic left, right, and jump mechanics. Fine-tuning the Rigidbody2D for smooth movement. Let’s dive in! Writing the Player Movement Script We’ll start by creating a C# script to handle movement logic: In Unity, navigate to the Project Panel . Right-click and select Create > C# Script . Name the script PlayerMovement . Double-click the script to open it in your code editor (e.g., Visual Studio). Paste the following code: using UnityEngine; public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour { public float speed = 7f; public float jumpForce = 12f; public LayerMask ...

Mario Game in Unity 6 (2025) | Part 3: Adding Animations (Idle, Run, Jump)

  Mario Game in Unity 6 (2025) | Part 3: Adding Animations (Idle, Run, Jump) Animations are what make a game truly come alive. In Part 3 of this series, we’ll add animations to Mario for idle, running, and jumping states using Unity 6. This step will transform our simple character movement into a polished and interactive experience. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up animations, configure the Animator Controller, and write C# scripts to handle animation transitions based on player input. What Are We Doing in Part 3? Importing already-sliced Mario sprites for animation. Creating animations for idle, running, and jumping. Setting up an Animator Controller. Writing scripts to control animation transitions dynamically. Step 1: Importing the Sprite Sheet 1.1. Import the Sprite Sheet Download File Download the pre-sliced Mario sprite sheet provided in this tutorial. Drag the sprite sheet into your Unity project’s Assets folder. Since the sprite s...
