Technically and formally from leaked commercials, alongside Gemini and Circle to Search, Pixel Screenshots is an app that assists you capture details that you wish to Memorize later such as Events, Places, etc. That way you can get exactly what you want the moment when you want it.
Meanwhile, Google’s teasers positioned it as helping you solve the problems of:
- Not remembering which restaurant your friend has liked
- I was going through my day amazed that I could forget my friend recommended a movie to me.
- Not being able to hum the theme song of the requested show recommended by a friend
Supposedly, when “AI processing” is activated, based on set-up experience, Pixel Screenshots will “use AI to summarize new and existing screenshots and answer questions about the information captured.”
Presumably, the current captures are those migrated from the previous phone. However, screenshots captured after this option is activated will “store such information as a web link, application name, and the time the screenshot was captured. ”
Notably, you can tap on Pixel Screenshots without AI processing and can potentially have the app be a faster one-click way of accessing screenshots rather than Google Photos. We also see what could be the app’s icon: Thematically, it is dominated by three blue screenshots.
There is another bar on the top of the screen named ‘Search Screenshots,’ it has voice input facilities and FAB. That’s presumably for adding non-screenshots, i.e., the images that you download from the Web for analysis.
It is spoken to where you can make a sessional search with the results page, including a picture of one title and the information you want. Notably, it’s branded with Gemini’s sparkle in the top-right corner A screenshot of the Gemini homepage is shown below The homepage is clean simple, and easy to navigate.
Google enlists the on-device Gemini Nano with Multimodality showcased at I/O 2024 to discern what’s occurring in the screenshot which has the option media and any alphanumeric that may surround it. Perhaps that Google Photos feature is centered around other pictures that you might take, but all your screenshots are there already.
This would be quite strange if this was not harnessed to gain more knowledge about your world and consequently, ask and provide more questions and answers about this world.There seems to be a lot of overlap between what the two are ultimately trying to do: informally broadcast your information.
