Google has a variety of AI tools designed to help with different tasks. While many people think of Gemini when it comes to Google AI, there are other useful AI features and services you should know about. These tools are designed for both everyday users and developers.
Here are five AI tools from Google that go beyond the usual AI chatbot:
1. AI in Google Workspace
Google has built AI right into apps like Gmail and Google Docs. If you use Google Workspace, you can create drafts, summarize content, and even get help with editing using the “Help Me Write” feature in Docs. Similarly, Gmail can help you write, reply, or shorten emails. These features are available on both desktop and mobile, making it easy to boost productivity.
2. Circle to Search
This AI tool is available on some Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. It allows you to recognize images and do a reverse image search. Google has also added new features like music recognition and automatic text translation. More Android phones will soon have access to this feature, so more users can try out Google’s latest AI for mobile.
3. Gemma: Open-Source AI
If you want to create your own chatbot, Gemma is a great AI model to use. Unlike Gemini, which is closed-source, Gemma is open-source, meaning it’s easier to work with and customize. Google offers different versions of Gemma, and it’s compatible with popular AI frameworks like JAX, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
4. Vertex AI
Vertex AI is Google’s most advanced AI tool for businesses. It provides access to AI models like Gemini and Gemma for tasks like text, image, and video generation. It’s mainly for developers and companies using Google Cloud. While it’s not free, new users get $300 in credits to try it out.
5. AI Developer Tool
For developers, Google offers a platform to build custom AI services using models like Gemini or Gemma. You can tweak the model settings to match your needs, such as adjusting how much text it generates or ensuring it’s safe for all users.
