Google Lens now supports video and voice search

What's the story?

Google is revolutionizing its search functionality by incorporating more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

The tech giant has announced a series of updates that include AI-organized web results and improvements to Google Lens.

Google Lens, a popular tool for visually identifying objects and retrieving information, has received two main features: video search and voice-activated search.

These changes are part of Google's broader strategy to provide users worldwide with a richer and more interactive search experience.

Google Lens now supports video and voice search

Google Lens can now perform searches using video and voice, allowing users to ask “complex questions about moving images.”

For example, users can point their camera at a group of fish in an aquarium and ask Google Lens why they are swimming together.

The AI ​​then uses the video clip and your voice recording to identify the species and provide an explanation.

Improved shopping experience through visual product search

Google Lens also improves its shopping capabilities through improved visual product search.

The AI ​​results now contain essential information about the product you are looking for, such as: B. Reviews, prices at various retailers and shopping options.

This improvement aims to make the shopping experience “significantly more helpful” for users by providing comprehensive product details directly to them.

AI-Organized Search Results: A New Approach to Web Browsing

Google is gradually converting its search results to be organized using AI. This change starts with one focus area: recipes and meal inspiration.

The company's AI generates comprehensive pages of relevant content such as articles, videos and forum discussions from various sources across the Internet.

These AI-curated pages are designed to provide a more holistic and informative experience for users looking for culinary information.

It is expected that this innovative approach will eventually be applied to all search results.

Improvements to AI overviews and introduction of ads

Google is also updating its AI Summaries, the snippets of AI-generated information that appear above web results.

The new design will include more “prominent links to supporting websites” within the section.

Additionally, Google plans to introduce ads into these AI overviews, a move that has already begun in the US market.

The “Circle to Search” function gains music recognition functions

Google's Circle to Search feature now comes with music recognition capabilities similar to Shazam.

This improvement allows users to instantly search for songs they're listening to without having to switch apps.

Since launching in January, Circle to Search has expanded its reach and is now available on over 150 million Android devices worldwide.
