Everyone loves and uses the AI features offered in Google‘s Pixel phones. Recently, Google introduced Gemini alongside Google Assistant on Android phones. Now, Google is preparing to roll out a feature similar to Microsoft’s Recall.
Microsoft’s Recall AI feature takes continuous screenshots as you use your computer, storing the information locally. This feature is available exclusively on “Copilot PCs.” While it may seem like a privacy risk, it allows users to access past information easily. For example, you can ask Microsoft Recall about a file you were working on, even if the specific application is not running. It can retain data as the software continuously saving what you do on your computer.
According to recent news shared by ITHome, Google might introduce a similar feature. Among the new AI features Google plans to unveil are “Screenshots” and “Studio.” Both features are new. While the exact functionality of the “Screenshots” feature isn’t clear yet, the description suggests you’ll be able to retrieve information from previously saved screenshots (Find the info you need from your screenshots). Unlike Microsoft Recall, which automatically captures screenshots, Google’s approach may only gather information the screenshots you took on your own.
This feature will allow you to gather information from previously saved screenshots. For instance, if you took a screenshot of a place on Google Maps two weeks ago and can’t remember the name, you can ask Google’s AI, Gemini, “What places did I look at on Google Maps before?” This will save you from digging through your gallery for the thing you look for.
