Google unveiled a slew of generative-AI goodies at its annual I/O event on Tuesday during a packed keynote that lasted almost two hours.

Alternatively, you can also enjoy Digital Trends’ extensive coverage of Google’s presentation, which took the wraps off of some astonishing technology heading to Android phones and various Google products.

For an overview of the event, check out this article that brings together everything announced during the Google I/O keynote, which was kicked off by Google boss Sundar Pichai. Another Digital Trends piece endeavors to highlight all of the biggest announcements regarding Gemini, Google’s impressive generative-AI suite.

You’ll definitely want to find out more about how the Google Lens search feature can now handle videos, not just images,  and discover how Gmail will soon be writing AI emails for you — if you ask it to. And there’s also Project Astra, a super-clever smartphone assistant that will be rolled out via the Gemini app later this year.

But that’s not all. Google Photos is about to deploy more generative AI for an incredible new feature called Ask Photos that lets you pull information from your images using a conversational approach.

With Google having now unveiled its latest update for generative AI tools coming to its platform, the pressure will now be ramping up on Apple as it prepares to showcase its latest efforts in the same field at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next month.

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.
