Google has been one of the pioneers in the field of generative artificial intelligence, alongside competitors such as OpenAI and Meta. After losing its first-mover advantage with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google has been working hard to lay a solid foundation by launching countless generative AI tools – whether it’s the chatbot Bard, the Gemini Nano-powered Pixel feature, or even Imagen 2’s image-generating tool. Model.
Now, the company seems to have no intention of stopping, with generative AI capabilities also extending to Google Maps. In short, using generative artificial intelligence, Google Maps will be able to analyze maps to provide quality of life features, such as recommending restaurants based on information from the approximately 250 million places it owns and insights from its growing list of 300 million contributors.
Here’s a use case pointed out by Google
“Let’s say you’re visiting San Francisco and want to plan on spending a few hours shopping for unique vintage items. Just ask the map what you’re looking for, such as “Places in San Francisco with a retro vibe.” Our AI model will analyze the map for information about the neighborhood Rich information about businesses and places, along with photos, ratings, and reviews from the Maps community to give you recommendations you can trust,” Google said.
Google further states that you will be able to see results organized by categories, such as clothing stores, vinyl stores, flea markets, complete with photo carousels and reviews.
Who was it launched for?
The feature is currently only available in the US, but Google says it will roll it out to everyone “over time” as it receives more feedback. But for now, it’s only available to select Local Guides who are “the most active and passionate members of the Maps community.”
