Google Photos is going to the next level with on-demand search, thanks to the Gemini artificial intelligence model. Enough to make the tool definitively essential.
The giant Google took advantage of its annual conference to announce the imminent and progressive arrival of artificial intelligence and its Gemini language model in multiple tools. Among them, Gmail, Google Docs and of course the search engine, are at the dawn of a historic evolution. But another service downloaded more than 5 billion times, Google Photos, will welcome a new feature, powered by the Gemini AI model, which offers easier, faster and more personalized search of your memories than ever.
A faster and more precise search on Google Photos, to save time searching for your most beautiful photos
During Google I/O, the Mountain View firm presented Ask Photos“Ask for Photos” in French, touted as “ a new way to search your photos with Gemini templates “. The idea? That feature can help users search for a specific memory more easily.
It is obviously already possible to carry out a search from the application, but this is not always satisfactory and may not assimilate the mixture of keywords very well, your servant speaks to you from experience.
With Ask Photos, Google promises a more natural search.

How Ask Photos works to improve in-app image search
Gemini’s multimodal capabilities almost infinitely expand what you can ask of Google Photos to find your photos, videos and memories. It is possible to ask him to find “ what themes did we have for Léna’s birthday party? » In seconds, Ask Photos identifies photos from the event and analyzes the details of each shot, like the background decoration or the birthday cake, to deliver the answer to you on a platter.
Among other possibilities, you can also ask Google Photos to create a summary of your last trip. In exchange, the tool will bring out your best photos and caption them one by one, to make sharing on social networks easier. As you will have understood, Ask Photos uses a whole range of reasoning to give you the most accurate answer to your query: it understands the question and analyzes the key words, places, people, dates and concepts. Then he develops the answer by studying the results, ensuring the correspondence and reading, if necessary, the text that may appear in the image.
The functionality, which we can’t wait to test, will be deployed ” In the coming months », Warns Google, which recalls that every day, some 6 billion photos are uploaded to the application dedicated to hosting photos and videos.
