How does this magic of artificial intelligence work? Keep reading to find out.
Video search in Google Lens
The big novelty is the ability to search for information in videos recorded in real time. Imagine that you are visiting an aquarium and you see a fish that catches your attention. With the new Google Lens update, you can now record a short video of the fish while asking the app what animal it is. Google Lens will process the video and question, giving you a artificial intelligence summary with additional links for you to learn more about the animal.
This feature is activated by simply opening Google Lens within the Google app, holding down the button to record a video, and verbally asking a question. Thus, Google Lens not only interprets what it sees, but also what it hears, giving instant and detailed responses.
In addition to video search, Google has also added the ability to ask questions with voice commands when capturing images with Google Lens. For example, you can point the camera at a plant, hold down the shutter, and ask, “How do you care for this plant?” Lens will answer your question based on what it has identified, making it easy to get information without having to type or search manually.
Voice commands and artificial intelligence
Google Lens has significantly improved its ability to help users make purchases and product comparisons. Now, in addition to showing similar images, it provides detailed information such as prices and points of sale, making it a key resource for buyers. Search results are more precise and better organized.
In addition to these improvements, Google has also launched results pages organized by artificial intelligence in the United States, starting with searches related to food recipes. The AI results will show various options for dishes and ingredients, making it easier to find relevant information more directly.
The new look of AI summaries includes more visible links to the web pages that contain the information, helping both users navigate more easily and the sites to navigate. generate more traffic. Google has also incorporated ads into these summaries, which the company says are useful for quickly connecting users with related products and services.
These new Google Lens features and changes to AI search results are now available for iOS devices, and reinforce Google’s commitment to leading the future of visual and intelligent search, transforming interaction with the digital world.
