Google AI

Google’s work on text-to-image generation continues today with an “Imagen Editor” tool that allows for text-guided image editing (or inpainting).

The main update to Google Bard today makes the tool better at mathematical tasks, coding questions, and string manipulation with a new “structured, logic-driven” system.

At I/O 2023 last month, Google announced “Duet AI” as the branding for generative AI features in Workspace. It’s now available to pre-order for Workspace Enterprise customers and other large businesses.

Google is expanding Workspace Labs with a trio of new features across Gmail, Docs, and Slides, including image generation. 

In using the future of Google for the past few days, I’ve had some takeaways about the AI-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE). It’s early days for SGE, but I think the fundamentals are set in stone: Most people for most queries will find generative Search useful.

For some users, Google has completely overhauled Search with AI, pushing what it calls the “Search Generative Experience.” While the experience is limited, some users have the option to turn it on now. Here’s how to turn on Search Generative Experience – SGE – and Google with AI.

As an advanced language model, Google’s Bard is trained to receive prompts and reply back in a human-like manner. Beyond the conversational aspect, there are a few features that make Bard what it is, and you should know how to use them. Here’s how you can use Bard to its full potential, including exporting your responses and even deleting your history.

One exciting generative AI announcement out of I/O 2023 was Magic Compose in Android’s Messages app, and Google is now starting to roll out the feature to some beta testers.

Announced at I/O 2023, Google is now rolling out the AI/LLM-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE) to users that signed up for the Search Labs program.

Google Marketing Live is essentially I/O for advertisers, and the 2023 edition sees a number of generative AI features coming to ads, as well as how they’ll look in SGE.

It was inevitable that AI would start moving beyond the basic language model chatbot into something more useful for the average user. With Google’s new Duet AI in Labs, Google Docs has a “Write for me” feature that takes the heavy lifting out of drafting a document. Here’s how to use it.

Following last week’s announcements at I/O 2023, Google previewed a few more generative Duet AI features coming to Workspace today, including Smart Notes in Meet.

At I/O 2023, Google announced Codey as a “family of code models built on PaLM 2” and it’s soon coming to Google Colab.

Google I/O 2023 dominated this past week, with big news from all of Google’s products with a special focus on AI efforts. Here’s everything we saw at Google I/O 2023, and why that focus on AI was so crucial.

Following the announcement of Search Labs to test the upcoming Search Generative Experience (SGE), Google One subscribers are getting “priority access,” though it’s won’t be immediate.

While Google I/O has served as a venue for some of the company’s biggest debuts over the years, the conference has always had its roots in developer news.

This post will be steadily updated over the duration of the Google I/O 2023 developer keynote with the latest news from all of the company’s various avenues of development, as well as news from the “What’s New” sessions afterward. We’re expecting news from Android, Flutter, Jetpack, and Firebase, as well as many AI-related announcements.

The developer use cases for generative AI are as promising as the consumer ones, and Google Play will leverage it “present your app or game in the best possible light” and “helping users discover your title is their next favorite.”

During Google I/O 2023, it was announced that the Google Messages app is gaining a generative AI tool called “Magic Compose.”

Google has launched “Project Tailwind,” a new AI-first tool that is effectively a notebook of the future to help you research information as you write about it.
