Google Photos is rolling out a new AI-powered feature termed Ask Photos. This feature enables users to retrieve pictures with queries provided to the AI. 

The AI-powered feature will be rolled out as an early access feature to select customers in the US region. Google Photos will be expanding this feature globally later on. This feature is powered by Google’s AI model, Gemini AI. It allows users to search for specified photos through the AI. Users can simply give descriptive queries related to the content of their photos. The AI will then leverage the user's data and retrieve the required photos. 

The AI-powered feature is particularly useful as photo libraries grow bigger and bigger. It becomes tedious to go through thousands of photos to get one specific picture. Therefore, this feature makes it much more easier and convenient for users to find what they are looking for. Users can describe the picture and the AI will fetch the picture closest to the user’s description. 

Ask Photos: More on this feature

Users can also narrow down the search results by relevance or date which fetches the pictures faster. This feature studies the context of a user’s photo gallery and keeps in mind the user’s hobbies, friends, favourite drinks and so on. This helps in studying relevant information needed to retrieve the photos. 

Furthermore, this feature also assists the users with getting tasks done with ease. For instance, users can ask the AI to show the best pictures taken from a certain event. Users can also ask the AI to summarise the activities a user did during a picnic or trip with family. 

Users interested in getting this feature can sign up for the waitlist for early access. However, it is only limited to users in the US as of now.
