Like iOS, it will use Android devices to help you find your stuff - be it phones, tablets, or earbuds - wherever you may have left it. Google Find My Device: Similar to Apple's Find My feature, Google is also working on device location tracking. And, you'll also be able to add traffic, weather and air quality data to the route, too. Now, when you plot a route in the app, you can get a neat 3D flyover of the route, which will give you a bird's-eye look at where you'll be going. Google Maps: A slick new immersive view is coming to Google Maps. It's currently being tested, which you can try if you sign up for the waitlist. It's a radically different approach, and one that could upend anyone who relies on Google Search to reach consumers. It will also allow you to ask contextual follow-up questions to further refine what it is you're looking for.

Google Search: Most significantly, Google Search is being reimagined using AI, so that you can type in more natural-language queries, and Google will return a more conversational answer, rather than a series of links. If you've been itching to try out Bard, good news: The Bard waitlist is gone. Google previewed some of the ways that AI would be used for some of its products for example, it's been testing out Help Me Write, which can compose entire emails for you in Gmail. PaLM 2 has four submodels (Unicorn, Bison, Otter and Gecko) designed for different use cases, and is already powering 25 different Google products, including Android, YouTube, and Workspace apps such as Gmail, Google Docs and more. The updated model focuses on coding, math and creative writing, and there's already a specialized version that can aid in medical diagnosis. Google Bard and AI: As predicted, we saw the debut of PaLM 2, a new version of Google's Pathways Language Model which is the driving force behind the company's AI tools like Bard. Here's a quick rundown of what was announced at Google I/O: Follow along with this Google I/O 2023 live blog for the latest rumors and updates on Google’s announcements. It’s a lot to keep track of, but we’re on the scene in Mountain View, Calif., for this year’s Google I/O. We also say how Google's AI initiatives will also impact Workspaces (Google Docs, Gmail, Slides and Sheets), Google Photos, Google Maps, and its other online products.Īnd, of course, we saw Google debut the Pixel Fold - its first foldable phone - as well as the Pixel 7a, a new sub-$500 phone, and the Pixel Tablet, which has a clever new docking station. Most significantly, it showed how its AI would be used to reimagine its search engine, which will potentially change how people look for and find what they need. As was hinted at in a last-minute leak, Google used its annual developers conference as a platform to spell out its AI plans.
