Google introduces new AI editing tool for Photos

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.

Gmail's new AI feature will write emails for you

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.
