What you need to know
- Unnamed sources claim that Google is preparing to introduce a collection of features under the “Google AI” umbrella to the Pixel 9.
- The collection is said to include features like “Add Me” for cameras, “Studio” and “Pixel screenshot”, which works like Recall from Microsoft.
- Google recently emailed users about the early hardware event on August 13.
Google’s AI has continued to advance and change, and now, a report suggests the company is wrapping it all up with a new name for the Pixel 9.
Google is preparing to debut a collection of “new and existing” features under the “Google AI” brand, sources tell Android Authority. It is supposed to have three main new features: Add Me, Studio and Pixel screenshots. Sources claim that “Add Me” is a camera feature that helps capture a group of people in a single shot.
More concrete information is not known, however, there is speculation that it could take “Best Take” a step further.
An early photo of Google AI highlighted the “Studio” label, which reads: “You imagine it. Pixel creates it.” The working theory is that this feature could be an AI generator that allows users to create images from requests and even videos.
The publication says that Google AI Studio could be a previously revealed “Creative Assistant” app. It was speculated that this would be implemented in the screenshot editor so that users could create usable stickers from their photos.
Sources say that Pixel screenshots are designed to be a user’s “new home” for all images captured on their device. Enabling the feature will allow Google’s AI to process your screenshot and create a custom summary for that photo. Users can then return to it to ask questions.
A brief summary says Google will store screenshot information, such as “as data” web links, app names, and the date the photo was taken in the app. This feature works similarly to Microsoft’s Recall, which debuted for Windows 11 PCs running Copilot Plus. Users were strongly against it because of the feature that constantly captures what they were doing on their computers, creating a serious breach of privacy.
The publication was informed that Google has taken steps to ensure user security by making Pixel screenshots an optional feature. Additionally, Google’s version activates the AI ​​brain only during manual user input: the screenshot command.
We’re still curious about a few things, such as the Pixel screenshots functionality in action. But we’re not far from knowing as Google started teasing an early hardware event set for August 13. The event should hold an overview of new Google products, Android software and AI advancements. Other AI features in the Pixel 8 series are expected to continue with its successor, such as Circle to Search and Gemini capabilities.
