Particularly exciting is “Deep Search,” a function that takes over complex searches and analyzes, compares and merges multiple sources. “Search Live,” on the other hand, enables real-time information searches: if you point your smartphone camera at a building, for example, Google Search immediately provides information on its history, architectural style and opening hours.
Gmail also benefits from AI upgrades. The personalized Smart Replies now take into account users’ personal writing style, previous interactions and even their calendar. “If you have entered an important appointment at 3 p.m., the Smart Reply could suggest moving the meeting to 4 p.m. instead of simply accepting it,” explained a Google representative.
“Thought Summaries” provide insight into the AI’s “thought processes” and make it possible to understand how it comes to certain conclusions. “Thinking Budgets” enable developers to manage and optimize the “thinking time” of their AI applications.
