Google is introducing image markup functionality in its AI assistant, called Gemini, making it simpler for users to manipulate and analyse images within the application.
Gemini is a generative AI tool from Google that assists a user with writing, research, analysis, and now image comprehension. The latest image markup functionality within Google’s Gemini has been in development for the past couple of months, with some users now seeing it on mobile devices, desktops, and other platforms.
The earliest rumours of this function came from the Gemini app, where users could upload pictures for evaluation. Later on, a leak revealed that Google was working on the same image editing and annotation functionalities on the web version of Gemini.
It appears that this vision is becoming a reality, as users are now seeing the implementation of this function come to life.
Reportedly, the Gemini image markup tools are now available on Android and on Chrome on desktop. Once a user decides to add an image to a post on the Gemini Android application, a notice is offered that explains what the new functionality is.
The software is not restricted to editing. It has the functionality to highlight particular regions of a picture that a user wants the Gemini software to concentrate on, making it simpler to ask targeted questions.
For example, users can highlight an object, section or problem area in an image and ask Gemini to explain, identify or suggest changes. This makes the AI image analysis feature in Gemini more interactive and practical.
