From Maps to Search: Google recently announced these AI updates - Check Details

Google AI Updates: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has witnessed tremendous growth in the last few months with all major tech companies now introducing AI features to make their products more user-friendly. 

From Maps to Search, tech major Google too has recently announced seven AI updates that offer more ways people can ask questions, search for information and get an AI overview across products.

These updates let users ask Google Maps more complex queries, like “things to do with friends” to get answers curated with Gemini. They can also seek quick answers to questions about a place — in addition to helpful review summaries. According to the company, these features are really helpful when users don't have time to read through each one.

“The latest AI update in Maps means that whether you're travelling across town or around the world, you can get the most up-to-date information possible, when you need it. Make sure to also check out the new updates we're making to Waze, Google Earth and our developer products,” said the company.

Now, the users can also upload PDFs, Google Docs, websites, YouTube videos and more to NotebookLM to glean new insights and get deeper dives into new topics.

Google Shopping, which has been rolled out in the US for now, helps users to pick the right product. This feature uses AI to help take the guesswork out of finding the right products.

“For example, when researching a product, an AI-generated brief will give you more details about the most important things to know before buying. And, as you browse the results, you will see AI-generated briefs about what to consider before making a purchase, plus the products that may (or may not) be a good fit for your needs,” explained Google.

Google Search got a major AI update, expanding the types of questions people can ask.

In October, the company added even more updates, including helping people to identify songs in Circle to Search, shop for what they see and search with video.

All Chromebooks will now come with the Gemini app, and Chromebook Plus laptops include new Google AI productivity tools like Live Translate, Help me write, the Recorder app and Welcome Recap, which helps people pick right back up where they left off when logging into a Chromebook.
