Google Photos has recently rolled out the AI-powered search tool 'Ask Photos' to select users in the U.S. through early access, revolutionizing interactions with digital albums. This feature allows users to query and retrieve photos using natural language, going beyond traditional keyword searches. The technology behind it is the Gemini AI model, which can understand photo content and metadata, providing deeper search results. Users can ask complex questions, and the AI will filter the best results based on various factors such as photo quality and location information.

Google is testing the 'Ask Photos' feature, which allows users to interact with their personal photo library using natural language, such as asking to view the best photos taken at every national park or querying license plate numbers. This feature hasn't been officially released yet but is included in the latest version of the Google app. Through 'Ask Photos', photos and videos will transform into a visual database that can intelligently extract information and context. Reports indicate that keywords found in the code suggest new extended functionalities related to Google Gemini.

Google Photos is set to release an update that allows users to customize AI-generated video highlights. Users will be able to choose the content they want to include in the videos, such as people, places, and activities, for a more personalized viewing experience. The update will enable users to edit, rearrange, and change the music in the videos.

The Google Photos app has added a 'Memories' tab, providing a dedicated space for automatically generated photo collections. The new AI-generated title feature helps users name these collections for better content summarization. These features will first roll out in the United States and will be globally available in the coming months.
