Google does not stop with the development of new tools based on artificial intelligence for its suite of services: in the context of the I / O 2023 keynote, the company presented important innovations for Maps, Photos and Workspace.
In the context of Google I/O 2023Sundar Pichai’s company has talked almost continuously about solutions based on artificial intelligence, revealing one new feature after another, both in terms of devices and services.
The goal of the Big G is clear: to make thegenerative AI a tool for everyone, integrated on every app in order to support users in their daily life. Below you will be able to discover, specifically, the feature AI coming to Google Workspace, Maps and Photos.
The suite of productivity apps is enriched with Duet AI, a model that integrates the power of generative AI into all Workspace apps. As stated by the company, these features will help write, organize, visualizespeed up workflows, have richer meetings and so much more, making it possible to instantly generate images with just a few words of input within Google Slides or even thedata analysis and classification on Google Sheets.
Generative AI will also come up later Gmail for auto-composing emails, su Docs for automatic creation of document templates and su Meet to improve video call meetings. To try them in preview it will be necessary to register on the waiting list but, unfortunately, registrations from Europe are not currently accepted.
Moving on therefore to Google Photos, the key novelty that will be implemented in the experimental phase on Google Pixel by the end of 2023 it is called Magic Editor and was developed to include image editing capabilities without the need for complex editors such as Photoshop e Lightroom for smartphones. Using a combination of artificial intelligence techniques, Photos will help users make changes to specific parts of aimagewhether it’s removing an object or changing the background.
Sweet at the bottom, Google Maps will adopt the mode Immersive View for Routes enhanced with AI: thanks to it, navigation will become even more immersive through the creation of a 3D model of the city – in a similar way to what happens on Google Earth – for advanced navigation. This option displays additional information about lanes, sidewalks, intersections and parking along the route, previewing the environment in different times of the day depending on weather, traffic and time of day.
Google plans to implement the immersive viewing on Maps initially only for the cities of Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Paris, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Tokyo and Venice: however it will still take few months to see and try this interesting novelty from your smartphone.
Finally, Google is planning to allow developers access to some Google Earth data for create 3D maps best: the function Photorealistic 3D Tiles will be available through the Map Tiles API, while the Aerial View API will allow programmers to integrate the Immersive View for Routes in their apps and web pages.
