Strategies behind AI Assistant for Pixel 9
It looks like Google is adjusting its AI strategy pretty fast, maybe because of what OpenAI is up to. Google just brought out Gemini as their top-notch AI to compete with GPT-4. They also talked about bringing Gemini to Android through a cool new thing called Nano, so your phone can do stuff like summarizing chats and calls even when offline.
Think of Pixie as a next-level improvement from AWB or a unique way to use Gemini’s skills. We’re not sure why Pixie is just for Pixel phones, but maybe it’s to make their best phones really shine. The report also says Google plans to bring Gemini’s smart features to more affordable phones and wearable gadgets, like smartwatches.
We’re just talking about this project for now, and it’s uncertain if it’ll actually happen.
