As the AI platform shift accelerates it feels to me like we’re living in a modern day Renaissance. New ideas, new advancements in technology and new tools to help us make AI helpful for everyone. #GoogleIO last week & #GML24 (Google Marketing Live) this week brought this to life. Here’s a mash up of my 3 takeaways from both #GoogleIO & #GML: 👉 Multi-modal everywhere. It’s not just about text, it’s voice, it’s video, it’s multi-modal. I’m excited to have a conversational experience with Ask Photos to search memories in a deeper way & also to ask questions with video - very helpful for questions that are hard to articulate. 🎨 Creativity unleashed. What excites me most about the AI era is the potential to unlock creativity. From Veo video tool to virtual try on and visual storytelling in our Ads products these tools are an assist to unlock more creativity in us all. 📗 Productivity unlocked & results for businesses around the world. Google Workspace features like summarize my email, trip planning in Gemini Advanced and other productivity hacks that will help save time and get things done more quickly. Check out Philipp Schindler’s demo Project Astra, a helpful universal AI agent. I love your Yoda Philipp Schindler (& I think GBO is awesome too)! From the ‘power pair’ of Search + PMax to AI powered creative tools to new ways to measure, businesses across the globe are growing their business in new ways, powered by Google AI. All of these innovations are underpinned by huge advancements in primary research, technology and application + bold and responsible practices. It’s a very exciting time!
