Google has introduced a new feature for searching using artificial intelligence called “Circle to Search”, and this feature is available for Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices. This function allows users to access information on their smartphones quickly by performing efficient and easy gestures, such as drawing a circle around the desired text or highlighting it in a special way.
This feature presents innovative concepts about data aggregation on the internet by leveraging artificial intelligence.
This feature, also available on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 devices, relies on the company’s advanced search tool that allows you to integrate text search and image search within the company’s own app.
Now you can surround items with a circle, write on them, or highlight them in other programs to discover more information about them in the same place without the need to switch apps.
The significant shift on the horizon involves harnessing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence to achieve instant search operations within various applications on the Android operating system.
You can continue pressing the home button or browsing bar from any location you are in to conduct a search rather than taking a photo or screenshot to use the Google app.
According to Google, if you come across a series of social media posts talking about Corn Dogs and you are unfamiliar with them, you can use the scrolling search feature to investigate this category of food and ask the chatbot about the reasons for its current popularity.
Google’s suggestions also include searching for details about a building visible in a YouTube video by drawing lines on it and adding it to your itinerary, or highlighting a restaurant recommendation from a friend and viewing information like the menu or customer reviews during the conversation.
You can also draw a circle around product images or write on them to search for online purchasing options, making it easier to compare prices and purchase the selected items through social media platforms or in videos.
You can identify words or phrases and extract meanings and relevant data without needing to exit the program you are currently using.
