Google’s I/O 2024 event unveiled a significant upgrade: Gemini 1.5 Pro. This “mid-sized multimodal model” boasts the power of the previous Ultra version and aims to enhance existing apps and create innovative new ones for daily tasks.
A Multimodal Master: Text, Images, Audio, and Video
Gemini 1.5 Pro shines with its ability to accept prompts in various communication modes: text, images, audio, and video. This versatility opens doors for groundbreaking features.
Imagine searching your photos with complex queries. With Gemini-powered “Ask Photos,” you could request “Find photos of Grandma working on carpentry projects over the years.”
Existing apps like Lens will leverage video analysis to identify objects and research information. A malfunctioning record player? Simply point your phone’s camera, and Gemini will use video processing to diagnose the issue.
The future of Google apps hinges on Gemini.
The familiar sidebar in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Gmail will be transformed by Gemini. Which is unifying and connecting these applications seamlessly. Referencing a Google Doc within an email or vice versa will become effortless. Search results will be introduced by AI Overviews, offering summaries generated by Gemini based on your search intent.
