The company is also introducing an AI visual search feature for Google Lens. Users can now ask questions about specific points by using the camera or uploading photos and screenshots to the lens. The answers will be generated through the use of Generative AI. This feature is set to launch on January 31.
In the initial phase, the AI multisearch feature will be exclusive to selected smartphone users, including the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. According to a Reuters report, this feature originated in America and will also be available to users of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Google traditionally releases its features first for the Pixel series, with a focus on the latest models.
The AI multisearch feature is expected to provide an advanced and efficient search experience, catering to the diverse needs of users. As technology continues to evolve, Google remains at the forefront, introducing innovations that redefine the way individuals interact with the internet and access information.
