For two hours, artificial intelligence made at Google was the star of the Google I/O conference. Present everywhere, it promises to be essential in all services and will bring with it multiple uses to facilitate our day to day. Sometimes at the cost of forgetting to do it yourself.
Make us perfect photographers
Google has introduced Magic Editor for Google Photos, a new dimension in photo editing that wants to make us look like highly inspired talented photographers. After having removed the unsightly elements of a snapshot with Magic Eraser, the new tool will allow you to recompose a photo, or even reinvent it by modifying its elements and design.
He wanted it to look like he was holding up the tower of Pisa, but he misjudged the perspective and his position. It’s not serious! All you have to do is veer and switch for the visual effect to succeed. And if the sun wasn’t there, don’t worry. The AI will turn the gray sky into a big blue.
The feature will initially be available on select Pixel smartphones later this year.
Text smarter
Finding the right wording, sending an inspired message to get a request across: writing is sometimes a talent. And it’s only fitting that generative artificial intelligence enters the picture to aid in writing like a theater prompter or an assistant willing to lend his pen.
Magic Compose is a feature that will be integrated into Messages (Google’s SMS app) to bring a little more richness to conversations. The AI will help compose a message by offering suggestions based on the context of the message for its composition. The feature will also enhance an existing message and make it a bit sexier, relevant, or give it a bit of flair.
Turning Search into a search genius
Generative AI comes to Search, the famous Google search engine. The idea is simple: add more context and information to your searches to get the perfect answer. To do this, you just need to be as specific as possible in your question or bounce back after a first set of answers with an additional question, the AI taking the context into account.
Searching for the perfect dress for an outdoor evening in May on the Côte d’Azur will reveal a whole series of styles on offer online. And then just ask which ones ship in two days or which shoes can go with it and Google will give you the answer in no time. Getting a diet plan to reach your goal weight before summer will run just as easily. The more detailed the sentence, the better and more complete the answer will be.
Show our trip as if we were there
Google Maps is enriched with the Immersive View function for routes, which will allow you to see, before your departure, each stage of your future trip in 3D, like a bird flying overhead. But it’s not just a modern Street View. The AI built into Immersive View for Routes will be able to combine a large amount of data to provide not only information about the road based on your mode of transportation, but also about the route (bike lanes, intersections, sidewalks, parking lots, etc.).) , the possible sequence (weather changes, air quality, possible traffic jams) and the announced elements (monuments, restaurants, etc.).
The immersive view for routes will be rolled out in the coming months in the first 15 cities that will therefore be able to be flown in 3D, including Paris.
Write compensation emails
Missed plane, package never delivered, promised refund: getting compensation is often a cross road that many give up due to lack of enthusiasm, lack of time or lack of knowledge on how to do it. The AI will come to the aid and in particular Bard, Google’s conversational agent. This will integrate with services such as Docs or Gmail to offer answers. Just click “Help me write” (with Google Workspace).
Able to order a succession of emails and analyze the conversation, it will be able to write for you the message requesting compensation that you will have identified in advance in the exchanges. A golden secretary!
