Software has always been an integral part of the Pixel experience, and that's
not changing with the new Pixel 10 family. At its Made by Google event today
in New York, Google detailed a suite of new machine learning and AI features
that will debut with the Pixel 10 series before making their way to earlier
models.

The first new tool most people are likely to encounter is Magic Cue. As
you're texting your friends, Gemini Nano, Google's private on-device model,
will populate the conversation with contextual suggestions. For example, if a
friend asks about a dinner reservation you two made last week, the Pixel 10
will display a shortcut you can tap to send them a Google Maps listing. Magic
Cue depends on there being a digital paper trail to work. You can long press
the shortcuts it generates to see where Gemini sourced the information it's
relaying to you. In the case of the example above, it may have come from your
personal Gmail.

The feature has extensions throughout Android. For instance, if a family
member texts you about a flight you two are about to take, Magic Cue will not
only provide the number of the airline, it will also display information
about your flight on screen for easy reference.

On the Discover page, which you can access on nearly every Android device by
swiping to the leftmost page of your phone's home screen, there's a new
shortcut to a feature called the Daily Hub. Like Samsung's Now Brief, it's a
page with an AI-generated summary of the upcoming day. At the top, you'll see
a greeting, with a weather forecast and and any upcoming events on your
calendar. Below that, there will be a list of reminders pulled from Gmail,
Keep and other Google apps. If you keep scrolling, you'll also find
recommended articles and videos from YouTube.

For those who also want to reflect at the end of their day, there's a new
Journal app too. It has AI features built throughout. For instance, as you're
writing an entry, it will automatically suggest images to include from your
photo library. Additionally, the app will attempt to automatically categorize
your entries based on topics you've designated. Google has used emoji for
this part of the interface, which make it easy to see at a glance what you
wrote about from the app's monthly view.

Over in Photos, Google has introduced a feature called Conversational
Editing. It allows you to tweak an image by describing to your phone how you
want it modified. For example, say you took a selfie of yourself in a busy
tourist location. You can tell Photos ΓÇö using your voice, your phone's on-
screen keyboard or a suggested prompt ΓÇö to edit all the strangers out of
the scene. After a few moments, the on-device model will produce a new image,
with the original displayed alongside it so you can compare the two. It's
possible to build multiple edits on top of one another, and if you don't like
the latest edit, you can go back.

In the camera app, there are a handful of new AI features. First, there's
Camera Coach, which will examine the shot you're about to snap. It will read
the scene and make suggestions on the angle and lighting to use, as well what
capture mode is best for the situation. Another new AI feature, dubbed Auto
Best Take, finds and combines similar photos so that everyone in a group shot
looks their best. Lastly, Google updated last year's Add Me feature to make
it easier to include the photographer in even larger groups.
