Google is gearing up to unveil its latest set of products in August, and among them are the highly anticipated Pixel 9 smartphones. Apart from the hardware upgrades, the Pixel 9 series will also come equipped with new and improved ‘Google AI’ software features.
As per a report by Android Authority, a source within Google has revealed that the company will be introducing a range of machine learning capabilities under the ‘Google AI’ branding. These features will include a mix of new additions and familiar ones, such as Circle to Search, Gemini, and a tool known as ‘Studio’ which is speculated to be a generative image generator similar to Apple’s Image Playground.
One of the intriguing features that will be available on the Pixel 9 handsets is ‘Add Me,’ although details about its functionalities are scarce at the moment. It appears to be an enhanced version of ‘Best Take,’ which ensures that all individuals in a group photo look their best.
Moreover, users can look forward to a ‘Screenshots’ feature that enables them to search through their screenshots for specific information. This AI-powered tool will summarize new and existing screenshots and allow users to ask questions based on them. It will only work with screenshots captured on the Pixel devices, and Google AI will add metadata like app names and web links to enhance the search experience.
Additionally, Google is said to be developing a feature similar to Microsoft’s Recall, which will allow users to manually save everything displayed on their screen. This aligns with Motorola’s Moto AI initiative, showcasing a trend towards intuitive screen management and organization features.
More details about Google AI and other enhancements can be expected on August 13th, when Google officially launches the Pixel 9 series. With the ongoing advancements in AI across various platforms, Google AI is poised to compete with the offerings from companies like Apple, Samsung, and Motorola. The integration of these innovative features will undoubtedly enhance the user experience on the Pixel 9 devices.
