4 new AI features coming to Google Search and Chrome

Google is doubling down on its efforts to integrate AI into its search engine and other popular applications. The project is codenamed Magi. According to NYTimes, "The new search engine would offer users a far more personalised experience than the company’s current service, attempting to anticipate users’ needs."

New Google Search Engine features 

The new search engine would, as explained in the report, “learn what users want to know based on what they’re searching" and align to  “offer lists of preselected options for objects to buy, information to research and other information.” This will be achieved by being more conversational in nature, and interaction with it would seem as if you were having a discussion with a friend.

It is said that Google is extensively working on adding new features to the search engine and for this, it has assigned 160 Google executives and creative analysts to this Project Magi. 

The project aims at inserting the following features:

- A conversational AI chatbot would be built into the Search interface that answers user queries and if any of these lead to financial transactions, Google may inject ads to monetize the same.

- Searchalong will be a chatbot on Google Chrome that offers contextual help based on what the user is looking for. 

- GIFI image generator which would let users generate images via text prompts on Google Images. 

- And finally, Tivoli Tutor which would help you learn a new language. 

There are reports that Samsung is thinking of using Bing as the default search engine on its Galaxy phones and this news has apparently alarmed Google. That said, when asked about these up and coming features, a Google spokesperson said, "not every brainstorm deck or product idea leads to a launch, but as we’ve said before, we’re excited about bringing new A.I.-powered features to search, and will share more details soon."

Apple completes 25 years in India: What CEO Tim Cook said about the milestone

As a brand, Apple has cemented itself as a mainstay in the world of smartphones, laptops, and now wearables and accessories. The brand’s love affair with India, predates its existence. It started when its co-founder, Steve Jobs, fell in love with the country and started visiting India before even establishing the brand. This week marks the completion of 25 years of the brand in India, as it gears up for the inauguration of its first official Apple stores in India.

In case you didn't know, Apple is set to open two stores in India. The first is in Mumbai and is opening on April 18, and the second is in Delhi set to open on April 20. This comes on the back of the rising affinity of the Indian populous towards the brand. That mainly comes from iPhones and MacBooks having a sense of ownership-pride attached to them. 

A lot more to come

Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, commented on the completion of this milestone and said, “At Apple, our mission is to enrich lives and empower people around the world.” He added, “India has such a beautiful culture and an incredible energy, and we’re excited to build on our long-standing history — supporting our customers, investing in local communities, and working together to build a better future with innovations that serve humanity.”

After years of importing its iPhones from its main manufacturing hub, China, in 2017, Apple began manufacturing phones in India in 2017. This move was welcomed with a lot of excitement both by the government and the fans of the brand. While it has been successful in many ways, there have been a few hiccups along the way. A Financial Times article published in February this year revealed that about half the Apple iPhone housings that were made in India were rejected during quality checks.

While this may seem like a major hit to India’s relationship with Apple as a whole, there are ways in which amends can be made. And, I am sure that the brand, and its associates in India would have already set the ball rolling on the fixes that need to be made to get things back on track. India, as a market and manufacturing hub, still has a lot to offer to Apple. It will be interesting to see how the relationship between one of the biggest personal electronics markets and one of the biggest personal electronics brands shapes up in the future.
