A new feature has been spotted on the Google app for iOS that promises a smarter search experience with AI suggestions.
In the app, a pencil icon appears in the search box, giving users access to an interface with a text box and some built-in suggestions. When you start typing, the Gemini icon appears along with the text “Generate AI suggestions.”
Once enough information is entered, the system will automatically generate suggestions based on the user's query. These suggestions can be selected to refine the search results, making the search process faster and more efficient.
Currently, this feature is still in beta testing phase, so it has not been widely released. However, when officially launched, this feature promises to help users save time, especially in situations where they need to search quickly without having to think too much about how to express or have to enter full data.
In addition, Google has just launched an advanced AI model Gemini 2.0, which is currently being tested by registered users. This is a strategic move by Google to compete directly with OpenAI, a major rival in the AI field. Gemini 2.0 is designed to perform more complex tasks, marking a new stage in the use of AI as a multi-purpose assistant.
Competition between Google and OpenAI is driving rapid development in this field. OpenAI recently launched its video creation tool Sora, and Google immediately responded with its Veo 2 product. These advances not only affirm the position of major technology companies but also bring many new utilities to users.
With continuous efforts, Google is showing great ambition in bringing useful AI tools to all users, even on the iOS platform. This new search suggestion feature will be an important step forward, helping to significantly improve the user experience when using mobile devices.
