The day after ChatGPT launched GPT-4o, Google unveiled its new AI tool, Project Astra.
At Google's developmental conference, Sundar Pichai, who is the CEO of Alphabet, presented Project Astra, an AI tool that is capable of answering questions in real-time and compared to ChatGPT-4o, is efficient in doing it as well. This tool is powered by an upgraded version of Google's Gemini model.
A demo video showcased Project Astra's capabilities at the event. Users can interact with the application through phone-based apps and web-browser interfaces. In the demo, Astra analyzed visual inputs from a phone camera and smart glasses, answering questions posed verbally. It successfully identified a series of codes, suggested improvements for an electrical circuit, recognized King's Cross in London, and reminded the user where their glasses were left.
Google asserts that Project Astra provides a human-like perspective on the world. It not only remembers everything seen in videos created with its help but also keeps track of where items are placed. If you forget something, Astra can remind you, acting like a friend or a note-taker.
Pichai announced that later this year, Project Astra will be integrated into the Gemini app and other Google products. Furthermore, Google has rolled out many important changes to its search engine. American users will now see AI-generated summaries of answers when they search on Google.
