Made by Google 2024: A few AI features you might've missed | TechCrunch

Aug 14, 2024 - news.bensbites.com
Google's annual Made by Google event unveiled several AI-related features, including the image-generating Pixel Studio and Pixel Screenshots, which helps save and organize information in screenshots. Call Notes, another feature available on the Pixel 9 devices, saves a summary of your conversation after a call, with details and a transcript saved to your phone’s call log. However, Google's assurance that Call Notes runs fully on-device and notifies all people on the call when recording is in progress has raised potential privacy concerns.

Pixel Studio, exclusive to the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, is an image-generating app powered by an on-device generative AI model and Google’s Imagen 3 model running in the cloud. Pixel Screenshots, a new app for Pixel 9 owners, uses AI to analyze the content of screenshots, including any captured text, people and objects, making them searchable. Despite the on-device component, Pixel Studio requires a steady internet connection to use and can be shared with contacts via Google Messages.
