If you are an Android user, then sit tight, as you may get a huge AI upgrade on your smartphone.
The tech against companies like Google vs Apple vs Facebook is starting their battle on your smartphone, and you can expect a huge upgrade on your Android devices.
Tech Giants companies are in a race to improve their capability of artificial intelligence. Recently Google is planning to integrate its AI language model into a messaging platform as Google Messages.
It means now you don’t need to have a separate app for AI assistants like Microsoft’s Co-pilot or Google’s Bard.
For messaging apps, coming up with innovative ideas becomes tougher especially, if you want to offer privacy or end-to-end encryption to the users. Just like WhatsApp tries to find an effective way of making money or iMessages that changes its main focus to the sharing platform. If Google wants to enter this competition, then it needs to take control of the RCS to remain in the battleground.
Google wants to make its AI as a default feature in messaging apps on all Android phones.
The goal of integrating AI directly into messaging, without the need for additional apps or complex installations, is to simplify the user experience and make AI features easily accessible within the messaging platform itself.
Google is not only focusing on improving user experience, but it is keeping an eye on advertising. By incorporating AI into Google Messages, the company can create a more interactive and personalized advertising system. Users can easily find AI-driven features like composing messages, translating languages, identifying images, and exploring interests right within their messaging app.
As Google wants users to integrate Google messages as their main texting app on Android phones just like the iPhone has iMessage. The main purpose of this AI upgrade is not only to connect with people through messages but also to connect them with other Google services.
The ultimate goal for Google is to turn messaging into a platform for AI-driven search and commerce. Imagine searching for holidays, gifts, or other information seamlessly within your messaging app while discussing these topics with your loved ones.
There are popular messaging platforms like Telegram and WhatsApp that have their own chatbot option. But Google has more vast searches which gives it an advantage. But it is only possible if it balances it with privacy. Integrating AI chatbots may invade privacy and limit independence.
Similar to Samsung’s introduction of a paywall for its smartphone AI features, Google has taken a game-changing approach. The idea is to integrate its advanced language model (LLM) directly into the messaging platform.
This means that users will get immediate services without needing to install the new app separately or add extensions. It’s a simple and direct solution that is as simple as ChatGPT which is already installed in each Android phone.
Before many critics got the hints that Google was trying to incorporate Bard to its Message platform last year. But now it is reported that Bard will be integrated within Google Messages which will help you in composing messages, translating languages, recognizing images, and detecting personal interest.
Even though Google hasn’t given us a date for when Bard will be part of Messages, experts think it’s coming soon. Keep in mind that your chats in Google Messages with Bard don’t have end-to-end encryption, and Google stores your data to make its systems better.
