Google is developing a new feature for the Gboard Android keyboard app that will allow users to create images from typed text using artificial intelligence. This feature is called Imagen Keyboard.
According to 9to5Google, the name of the feature — which Google has yet to officially announce — was mentioned in the source code of the latest Gboard beta, indicating that it will appear in an upcoming update to the keyboard. .
Imagen Keyboard features should appear on the shortcut bar or the keyboard home page, along with features like clipboard and one-handed mode.
Imagen Keyboard is similar to OpenAI's DALL-E 2 service, which generates images based on user requests. Similar to the DALL-E 2, the new keyboard functions are based on the Google Imagen service, although this is not yet available to all users.
Imagen helps to easily create images from written text. It uses advanced AI algorithms to understand the meaning of text and create images that convey that meaning.
The feature is part of Google's broader AI efforts, as the company is currently developing more than 20 products that use AI technology, including a wallpaper maker for Pixel phones, a video merger, and a new video maker.
In fact, Google is facing increasing competition from other technology companies such as Microsoft and OpenAI. Because of this, the company is investing heavily in developing new AI technologies to help it stay ahead of the curve and bring new and innovative products and services to market.
Imagen Keyboard is an exciting new initiative designed to make it easier for users to communicate and express their ideas visually, and represents another step forward in Google's broader artificial intelligence strategy. While it is unclear when the feature will be officially launched, it is clear that Google is striving to stay ahead of the current AI revolution and launch innovative new products and services that help users work and communicate more effectively.
