Google Chat to get AI-powered summarization feature
Google is on the brink of launching an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) feature for Google Chat on Android. Named 'Smart Summary,' this feature will allow users to create succinct summaries of their chat threads. The discovery was made within the coding of the Google Chat app by the folks at PiunikaWeb, suggesting AI's role in providing instant conversation summaries.
The feature will help users stay updated on conversations
The 'Smart Summary' feature is powered by Gemini, the company's AI model previously used in the Gmail app for similar purposes. This advanced feature will enable users to stay updated on key aspects of lengthy conversations without having to read through entire threads. To use this feature, users will simply long-press a conversation and tap a button. Google's move to incorporate Gemini into Google Chat reflects the company's wider initiative to infuse AI across its product range.
Google Chat will let you manually create summaries
Currently, Google Chat provides automated 'Conversation Summary' that can sometimes miss crucial details. The introduction of 'Smart Summary' will give users the ability to manually create summaries for specific threads at their convenience. This feature allows users to decide what information is emphasized in summaries.
Gemini's summaries may not always be perfect
It's important to note that these summaries are generated by an AI model and may have certain limitations. Google Chat will remind users that these summaries may not always be perfect and do not reflect Google's viewpoints. Users will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on these summaries, helping Google improve Gemini's accuracy and effectiveness over time.
