Remember the days when you had to manually type your queries into that Google search bar and then sift through pages of results to get your desired answer? Well, those days could be numbered. Google is stepping up the search game, and it’s about to get even more personal with a new feature called ‘Search Live’.
À l'origine, il s'agissait d'une fonction de test dans les laboratoires de Google. Search Live a été introduit pour tous les utilisateurs aux États-Unis, transformant ainsi la manière dont nous recherchons des informations sur le web. Comment ? En transformant votre recherche en une conversation avec votre propre assistant IA.
Une fois que vous avez lancé la fonction, Search Live répond à vos demandes en temps réel, ce qui rend le processus beaucoup plus interactif. Au-delà des réponses vocales, il déniche également des liens pertinents en rapport avec votre requête sur l'ensemble du web. Mais si vous pensez qu'il s'agit simplement d'une autre version des requêtes de recherche vocales, détrompez-vous.
The magic of this feature lies in its ability to incorporate visuals into the search process – yes you heard it right! By simply pressing the “Live” button under the search bar within the Google app (which you’ll find on both Android and iOS), you can switch on your camera and make it a part of your search journey.
Seeing something and wondering what it might be? Simply show it to Search Live. Curiosity piqued by a weird-looking gadget? Point your camera at it and ask your question out loud. In fact, you can even summon this feature within the Lens app which allows you to have a real-time chat while sharing your camera view. It’s almost like having a well-informed friend sitting next to you, ready to answer all your queries.
Let’s delve into a more concrete example. Suppose you’ve decided to jump on the matcha tea bandwagon and bought all kinds of tools to prepare it. But now you’re not sure how to use them. Here’s where Search Live comes in. Simply show your AI assistant the tools, ask what each one is for, and you’ll be steered through the process. The same applies while setting up new electronic devices. This feature can guide you on where to plug specific cables by pointing your camera at them.
However, please note that as of now, Search Live is currently only available in English. It’s a noteworthy step taken by Google to revolutionize the search experience. Here’s a digital assistant that’s more than just a voice but also an eye – an integration of auditory and visual representations to enhance our interactions with the virtual world. So go on, give it a whirl and get chatty with Google.
