In August 2022, Google announced PaLM, the organization's advanced language learning model. Since then, the PaLM API has been utilized by developers to create a wide range of generative AI applications, such as chatbots and content creation.

PaLM 2 offers more sophisticated technological capabilities while being lightweight and simple to implement. In addition, the tool is so adaptable that Google revealed over 25 new features and products at Google I/O driven by PaLM 2. It comes in four different models and supports more than 100 languages that can be used for coding or solving mathematical equations.

Google also revealed its Duet AI toolkit for native services such as Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and Gmail at the Google I/O keynote. While these Workspace capabilities let you perform actions like creating graphics from the text in Slides or writing emails, they are only accessible to people who register for its waitlist.

Bard will now be accessible in more than 180 nations and territories, according to the company's announcement. Following the model's successful implementation in the US and UK, Google said it would soon support 40 languages, with more language support next-generation.

Help me write is a new AI tool that Google introduced as a feature in Gmail in the Google I/O event that enables users to generate intelligent emails swiftly. As seen in the Google presentation, the capability might be helpful in situations like requesting a refund or if you want to draft a mail for a presentation. The AI tool will instantly prepare the email content after you write the necessary question.

Various alternatives are available with this function, like formalizing the language, adding extra information, condensing the message, or selecting the "I'm Feeling Lucky" option. In essence, it allows users to modify the wording in their communication to reflect better the tone or meaning they desire.


6) Immersive View

In addition, thanks to a new Maps feature called Immersive View for routes, users can see their journey before leaving. The system creates a digital world map that combines billions of Street views and aerial photographs, including bike lanes, walkways, crossroads, and parking.
