Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsTabletPixel 9 Could Debut More Interesting Generative AI Features
Unlike Samsung’s Galaxy AI, Google’s adoption of generative AI features on its Pixel smartphones has been performed in a staggered manner. However, Google eventually started rebranding these features under Google AI. A fresh leak suggests Google will further streamline its AI features collection, which is touted to debut on the Pixel 9.
Initially, the Pixel 8 (review) debuted with the new Audio Magic Eraser and Video Boost (Pixel 8 Pro), which were expanded to include Circle to Search and a Gemini chatbot. Now, it appears Google will be adding newer functions to the mix.
According to Android Authority who cited an unnamed source within the company, Google will launch a new section called “Discover Google AI at its best.” As seen on the shared UI screen, the set includes existing and brand-new additions.
Essentially, Gemini and Circle to Search, which are already available, are listed in the new section. Meanwhile, new features mentioned include Add Me, Screenshots, and Studio. Details about these new items remain scarce, so we’re here to speculate how they are supposed to work.
An upgraded Google Photos’ Best Take mode
Starting with Add Me, the description indicates it’s an AI-powered camera feature that ensures “everyone’s included in a group photo.” This is likely a more capable version of Google Photos’ Best Take, which combines photos with different subjects into a final shot with the best view for all faces.
Likewise, it would not be surprising if the Add Me labels mean you can insert a family member or a person in the picture, which will sort work as generative editing.
Search for details in your screenshots
As for Screenshots, the name and description imply you can search for information in the screenshots captured. This would detect and record details such as text in forms via web URLs and contacts in screenshots, including them in the searchable library in your handset. A further splash screen also mentioned this supports screenshots that are already in your gallery as well as new screenshots.
Image generator for Google Pixel smartphones
On the other hand, Studio was described as an extensive AI image generator tool for Google’s Pixel devices and an alternative to Gemini’s built-in image feature. This could also support both wallpaper creation and the emoji kitchen as with Samsung’s generative wallpaper or Apple’s more advanced Image Playground on iOS 18.
This suite of Google AI features is confirmed to arrive on the Pixel 9 range, which is set to be announced this August 13. However, it’s unknown if any of the new additions will also be added to older Pixel devices.
