Google Web Search Becomes an AI-Powered Audio Chat
Presented during the I/O developer conference in May, Google kicked off the New voice-based web search released in the US on artificial intelligence. This is the possibility of use the traditional Google app on iPhone and Android to find information on the internet by talking to AI, without type some text. Unlike the separate Gemini application, mostly dedicated to providing complex and reasoned answers to questions of users, the "Search Live" mode, accessible via a new icon next to the microphone in the Google app, yes focuses on providing answers based on search results present on the web. In an example provided by Big G, the search voice can help you receive real-time information while you are busy doing something else, like repairing a bicycle. In this case, the AI can search for the manual online of use of the bike model and view explanatory videos on YouTube, effectively replacing the classic text navigation on the search engine. In the future, it will also be possible to use Search Live with the phone camera, similar to what already happens via Gemini's "live" function. Again, the difference is in the audio conversation which will give life to a list of web links, videos or images, absent in the mode live of Gemini, as a result of what the AI "sees" through the smartphone. Google isn't the only company investing in voice capabilities of its own AI models. OpenAI has launched Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGpt last year, while Anthropic has implemented a voice mode for its app Claude in May. A September should arrive Apple Siri update with generative AI capabilities.
