Google showed off an experimental editing tool for Google Photos at its I/O developer conference. Magic Editor uses artificial intelligence to fine-tune photos in ways that go beyond basic adjustments. For example, it can move a person to a different spot in the picture or remove unwanted people from the background. In a demo, we also see a child seated on a bench with colourful balloons being adjusted to be centred with Photos filling in parts of the bench and the balloons that weren't in the original shot.
Google says it has been using AI to organize and edit photos since Google Photos launched in 2015. But Magic Editor will offer more advanced and precise changes. The tool will be available later this year for select Pixel phones as it is still a work in progress.

Google announced a new feature for Gmail at its Google I/O event that will use artificial intelligence to write entire emails for you. Help Me Write is an extension of existing auto-replies and generative text available in Gmail. For example, if you want to ask an airline for a refund for a flight, the AI feature will generate a message based on your previous interactions with the airline. You can then customize the message as you wish and send it. You can even ask it to elaborate to make it more convincing.
This feature is designed to help people save time on routine emails. It could be a useful tool for you if you want to clear their inboxes faster.

Google has debuted the Pixel 7a, a mid-range smartphone that borrows some features from the Pixel 7 flagship. For CAD 599, you get a capable smartphone camera setup, one of the more notable changes from its predecessor. It has a 64-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view. It can do super-res zoom (a first for the Pixel A series), Night Sight, Photo Unblur, and Long Exposure (another Pixel A first). There's also a 13-megapixel selfie camera in front.
The Pixel 7a also has a 6.1-inch OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and adaptive brightness. It runs on Google’s Tensor G2 chip, which delivers fast performance and AI features. It supports Pixel software features like Clear Calling, Direct My Call, and voice message transcription.
