Google's top AI features that enhance your Android experience
Google is preparing to roll out an update for its Gemini application on Android, aimed at improving the AI's ability to understand what is displayed on users' screens. This enhancement will optimize one of Gemini's key features: assisting users in interpreting a limited set of data throughout their day. Currently, when set as the default assistant, Gemini can summarize or answer questions about webpages or screenshots.
Gemini's forthcoming update to include video and PDF interpretation
The upcoming update will equip Gemini with the ability to detect videos on the screen and prompt users to ask questions about them. This feature will use automatic captions from the video to provide answers. Additionally, Gemini will gain the capability to interpret PDFs, although this function will be exclusive to users of Google's paid version, Gemini Advanced, due to its requirement for a long context window.
Gemini's enhanced app integration and dynamic suggestions
Google demonstrated how Gemini will flow more easily within apps, such as the ability to drag and drop images generated by the chatbot into a messaging app. Over time, the tech giant plans for Gemini to become more contextually aware of each app on your phone, making navigation easier with Dynamic Suggestions. Google has announced that these updates will be rolled out to "hundreds of millions of devices over the next few months," with more contextual features in development.
Google's Circle to Search feature set for upgrade
Google's Circle to Search feature, already available on over 100 million Android devices, is set to receive an upgrade that will assist students with complex physics and math word problems. This new ability is powered by Google's LearnLM model, which aims to make learning easier with AI. The upgrade will provide a valuable tool for students struggling with complex academic problems.
Ask Google Photos and AI-powered scam call detection
Google Photos is set to enhance its user experience with a new feature called 'Ask Photos.' The feature, powered by Gemini AI model, will enable users to search their photo collection using simple queries, making content discovery more intuitive. In addition, Google has unveiled a real-time scam detection tool that will monitor conversation patterns commonly associated with scams and alert users if such patterns are detected during a live call.
