Searching for products, songs, videos, and photos just got easier. Here’s how to use Google’s new feature to ask your questions.
Google has been the dominant search engine for more than a decade. However, to stay competitive with the new generation of AI search engines, Google’s had to step up its game by implementing AI, and these new features are the latest salvo.
On Thursday, Google launched new ways to search that leverage AI, starting with the ability to search using a video in Google Lens. Now, if you’re curious about something happening in real-time in front of you, you can ask Google about it by shooting a quick video of what you are seeing.
Here’s what you do: Open Lens in the Google app on your phone, hold down the shutter button, and audibly state the question you want to learn more about. Google shares the example of a user recording a group of fish swimming in a circle at an aquarium and asking, « Why are they swimming together? »
The feature is available for Search Labs users who are enrolled in the « AI Overviews and more » experiment and have the Google app, which is free to download for both Android and iOS users.
