🌐 Google I/O
Get the highlights
Hey friends!
Welcome to another edition of The Report. This week's newsletter is a little bit different. I want to cover more of the Android and Google world of things as well, so this week, we'll be covering the main updates from the Google I/O conference! A lot has happened, especially on the AI front, so let's get started.
1. AI comes to Google Search
Google Search has finally added in AI capabilities to its search function so you have less searching and more learning to do. For each question you look up, you will get an AI snapshot just below the search bar. This will answer your search query while also giving you some potential follow up questions and related information.
2. Magic Photo Editor
Google’s Magic Photo Editor will let you edit complex photos easily with AI filling in the gaps. With this editor, you can remove any background noise in your photos, change your position so its just right and erase anything on your outfit that you forgot to remove before taking the photo!
3. Immersive Google Maps
Google Maps is getting an Immersive View that lets you plan and see your whole trip in advance. Immersive View will let you understand what a place looks like before you leave so that you can recognize important landmarks and be familiar with unknown surroundings.
4. Generative AI in Google Workspace
Generative AI in the Google Workspace suite will let you create custom images based on the content of your slides or provide notes or insights on your next novel.
5. Project Tailwind
This might be the most underrated feature, especially if you’re a student. Project Tailwind is an AI notebook that takes your notes or content, understands it and answers any questions you may have. If you’re a student, this is a great way to test your knowledge, generate quick revision summaries and even understand any new ideas you can form from your notes. Join the waitlist here.
