Google plans to bring smart search to Google Photos using voice and text queries, allowing you to find the images and videos you want based on context.
Smart photo search
Innovative Ask Photos feature
Google intends to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence into its multimedia storage service Google Photos files. As part of these innovations, the innovative Ask Photos feature will be introduced, which will give users the ability to search for the images and videos they need using complex voice or text queries.
Advanced search capabilities
Ask Photos lets you search the entire Google Photos library, identifying unique identifying aspects and using contextual queries to accurately locate the required images. In addition, it will provide the ability to receive a series of related photographs demonstrating the progress of a specific event or person.
Content mining
New feature goes beyond just image search as Gemini models capable of recognizing the content of images. Google gave an example of searching for a car license plate by asking what number is assigned to a specific car. As a result, the photo was successfully identified and the system provided the requested license plate number.
Tracking progress and achievements
In another example, we were able to pinpoint when a child learned to swim based on images already in the user's Google Photos library. You can also request a demonstration of your child's swimming success. Gemini will analyze a library of photos, find relevant images, recognize different contexts and group photos related to swimming activities in the pool, oceanfront, swimming certificates and awards into a thematic summary.

Wow, cool new feature from Google! Now you can quickly find the photos and videos you need using voice queries. Because my catalog is already huge, it’s impossible to sort through it manually. 🙌

Yes, modern technologies do not stand still. But I am concerned about the privacy issue. How will Google process our personal data contained in photos and videos? 🤔

Sofia, I agree with you! I remember how I was looking for photos from last year's vacation - I had to manually review hundreds of photos. Ask Photos will really make your life easier. 😎
Эмилия
And I think that in addition to searching for photos, this function will also help when creating photo albums or slide shows. Find related photos with one query - a huge time saver! 🤩

Hmm, doesn’t Google Photos already know how to find photos using keywords? How is Ask Photos different? And is it possible to enter Russian queries, otherwise my English is not so hot... 😕
Гюнтер
They've come up with unnecessary nonsense again! Why do I need these complex searches when I can get by just fine with the standard Google Photos features? Another waste of money. 😤

Gunther, don't be such a skeptic! Technologies are designed to make our lives easier. And Ask Photos, judging by the description, will really help you save time searching for the right photos. Especially for families with children - all these pictures from trips, holidays, birthdays... 👨👩👧👦

What I'm most looking forward to is the ability to search by video as well as by photo. Can you imagine how much time you can save when editing videos? Just enter a query and find all the scenes you need in no time! 🎥✂️
