Here are the Updates:

📲 Tab Organizer - simplifies tab management:
It automatically detects when multiple tabs are open and sorts them for you. To use it, right-click on a tab and select "Organize similar tabs." It even suggests names and emojis for your groups.

🎨 AI themes - AI-generated custom themes in Chrome:
Will allow users to personalize their browser by selecting a subject, mood, style, and color for the AI to render. Users can create unique themes by specifying subject, mood, style, and color within Chrome's Customize Chrome option. Choose "Change Theme" and then "Create theme with AI" in the side panel. Select a background subject, customize image style with options like Style and Mood, and pick your desired color tone.

✍️ Help me write - AI suggestions to improve your writing:
This feature saves time and effort by analyzing both user input and the page's content for more relevant writing assistance. To use it, right-click on a text box and select "Help Me Write" to let AI work its magic!

These features are now available to Mac and Windows PC users in the United States. To access them, simply log into Chrome, click on "Settings" within the three-dot menu, and head to the "Experimental AI" page.

Why this is important: Google is slowly adding more AI into its products. These updates might seem small, but they're getting us used to using more advanced tech every day.

Create AI images for free using Google Search Bar  

Have you ever struggled to find the perfect image you envision, or needed assistance bringing your creative ideas to life visually? Me: hell yes.

Now SGE can generate text like Dall-E 3. 👇

In the past, SGE primarily used generative AI to respond to questions and requests. But since a few weeks SGE can also create images based on your descriptions. (just like Dall-E 3)

To use this feature with SGE, follow these straightforward steps after signing up:

Here's how:

  1. Visit Google Labs

  2. Click 'Get Started' under the Google Search category.

  3. Activate 'SGE generative AI in search'

  4. Open a prompt on Google's search engine

  5. Describe the image you want

  6. Google's AI will generate up to four image options

  7. Choose the image you like and make any necessary refinements
    (Tip: Use the like/dislike buttons to help improve the AI model)

  8. Download it or save it directly to Google Drive

Please note that, for the time being, SGE's image generation is limited to the United States and the English language.

A new way to discover places with generative AI in Maps 📍 🗺️

Google Maps is changing the way you search for places by integrating conversational AI.

Now, you can have interactive searches and get personalized recommendations based on your questions and preferences. Whether you're looking for indoor activities on a rainy day or family-friendly options, Google Maps has you covered.

For example, simply ask for "activities for a rainy day," and you'll receive suggestions like comedy shows or movie theaters. If you're interested in family-friendly options, follow up with "What about options for kids?" to discover places like bowling alleys, children's museums, or indoor playgrounds, complete with highlights based on user reviews.

Initially, this feature is exclusively available to Google's Local Guides community, ensuring a thoughtful integration of generative AI. After this initial phase, Google plans to expand access to a broader user base.

Today’s News is sponsored by ChatGPT Tricks, a generative AI toolkit. Inside, you’ll gain access to prompts, lists of tools, guides and most everything you need to master generative AI.
