Reportedly, Google is in competition with other internet giants to implement generative AI into their forthcoming and current offerings. This year, competitors have stepped up their efforts, including Meta Platforms, Amazon.com, and Microsoft.
It was also in discussion that in the future version of Google’s assistant, users would be able to enter images or voice to help answer queries by connecting their phone’s camera and microphone. As Google is still in the “learning phase” with generative AI, it will not include any features that generate income.
Google has stated that its trusted tester program will have access to the new software soon, however, a particular release date for the public has not been announced. The startup plans to release apps for both the Android and iOS platforms.
