New AI features of the Google Pixel 9: Recall for screenshots

The Pixel 9 series from Google will be unveiled in mid-August. It will include some exciting AI features thanks to Google AI, as the website AndroidAuthority has now reported. These new functions promise to significantly improve the user experience and offer innovative possibilities for everyday tasks.

Brief summary:

• Pixel Screenshots: Enhanced screenshot management with AI support.
• “Add me”: Improved group photo function.
• “Studio“: Creative options for sticker creation.

Pixel screenshots: More than just a picture

The outstanding feature of the Pixel 9 is “Pixel Screenshots”. This function goes far beyond the simple creation of screenshots.

Thanks to AI technology, the screenshots created are automatically provided with additional metadata such as link sources and app names and also answer questions about them. This enables a deeper analysis of the content.

A decisive advantage over Microsoft’s Windows Recall is that only manually created screenshots are analyzed, which protects user privacy. This AI-supported analysis can answer questions about the content of the screenshots, making it much easier to navigate and find information.

However, Pixel Screenshots will also function as a standalone app without AI and will be used to store screenshots in an organized manner. Gemini Nano could be used as the AI model.

“Add me”: Perfect group photos made easy

Another exciting function is “Add me”. This extension of the existing Best Take feature ensures that everyone involved in group photos is always perfectly in the picture. This means that the AI recognizes when people are missing or not optimally positioned and inserts or adjusts them accordingly. This is particularly useful for social media enthusiasts and anyone who frequently takes group photos.

“Studio”: creativity at the touch of a button

With the “Studio” function, Google offers a platform for creative minds. Here, users can create their own stickers and give free rein to their creativity. The feature was discovered in Android 15 Beta 3 and referred to as “Creative Assistant”.

It offers a variety of tools and options for creating personalized and creative content that can be shared directly on social media. However, specific details are still missing.

Conclusion

With “Pixel Screenshots”, “Add me” and “Studio”, Google is setting new standards in terms of user-friendliness and creativity. The Pixel 9 model series will be presented to the public on August 13 and could be launched at the end of August or beginning of September.
