Google is inserting more of its Gemini AI into every single product it has and the next target in its sights is Photos. At its I/O developer conference today, the company’s CEO Sundar Pichai announced a feature called Ask Photos, which is designed to help you find specific images in your gallery by talking to Gemini.
Ask Photos will show up as a new tab at the bottom of your Google Photos app. It’ll start rolling out to One subscribers first, starting in US English over the upcoming months. When you tap over to that panel, you’ll see the Gemini star icon and a welcome message above a bar that prompts you to “search or ask about Photos.”
CEO Sundar Pichai has hit the stage and Google IO is officially underway. Pichai describes IO as “Google’s version of the Eras Tour” and says the company is now in its “Gemini Era.” Get ready for a lot of AI talk.
According to Google, you can ask things like “show me the best photo from each national park I’ve visited,” which not only draws upon GPS information but also requires the AI to exercise some judgement in determining what is “best.” The company’s VP for Photos Shimrit Ben-Yair told Engadget that you’ll be able to provide feedback to the AI and let it know which pictures you preferred instead. “Learning is key,” Ben-Yair said.
