The editor of Downcodes learned that Google is testing a new photo search function called "Ask Photos", which uses the Gemini AI model to completely change the way users explore their personal photo libraries. It allows users to ask questions using natural language, such as asking for details about a past trip or looking for a specific photo, and the system will intelligently analyze the photo content and provide relevant images and answers. This feature is currently available in parts of the United States, with plans to support additional languages in the future.
Recently, Google is testing a new feature called “Ask Photos” designed to help users explore their photo libraries in a whole new way.
This feature was first announced in May and has now been gradually rolled out to some Google Labs users in the United States .
Users only need to ask "Ask Photos" questions, such as "Where did we camp the last time we went to Yosemite?" or "What did we eat at Stanley's Hotel?" to get answers, which is really convenient and smart.
Behind this feature is Google's Gemini AI model. By analyzing the content of the user's photos, the Photos app not only provides answers, but also retrieves images related to the question, allowing you to easily find those precious memories.
Additionally, Google says you can use "Ask Photos" to complete tasks like summarizing your recent vacation or picking out the best family photos to create a shared album.
In order to better use "Ask Photos", Google is also upgrading the traditional search function. Users can search using natural language, such as "Alice and I were laughing" or "Kayaking at the lake." Search results can also be sorted by date or relevance. This feature is currently available in English on Android and iOS platforms, and more languages will be supported in the coming weeks.
In this update, Google Photos also replaced the original "Library" tab with a new "Collection" page, aiming to make it easier for users to find their photos and videos.
New support for natural language search will help users quickly find specific photos among thousands of images without having to rummage or filter by location.
Highlight:
? The new feature “Ask Photos” helps users query and organize photos in new ways.
Using Google's Gemini AI model, users can get photos and answers related to questions.
? The traditional search function has been upgraded to support natural language search and smarter result sorting.
All in all, the launch of the "Ask Photos" function marks an important step for Google in the field of applying artificial intelligence to photo management, providing users with a more convenient and intelligent photo management experience. I believe that as functions are improved and language support is added, this feature will benefit more users and change the way we interact with photos. Downcodes editor looks forward to more updates!
