hey what is up guys I'm can be HD here from Google i/o 2017 and i/o is definitely a little bit different every year but it's a Developer Conference for people who use Google software and for all the developers of apps that run on that software so while there is no new hardware there's no pixel to or anything crazy like that happening here there is a lot of googly software a lot of machine learning and image recognition and all that fun stuff that will eventually make it into the devices that we have now so there's definitely some stuff to pay attention to this is my top 5 announcements from Google i/o 2017 so number one is Google lense and I do feel like something like this would make a comeback so so much of like what I said this stuff at this conference is stuff like computer vision and machine learning and image recognition and this is a perfect example of a culmination of all that so Google lense is a new capability that will start showing up in assistant and photos and others that'll let you point your camera at an object and get more information about that object now if that sounds familiar that's because it is we've had stuff like Google Goggles from way back in 2010 believe it or not and then stuff in between like 60 etc but the technology has gotten a lot better since 2010 so this is actually almost a completely different product now Google lense and assistant is so good you can point it out a flower and it'll tell you not only that it's a flower but what kind of flower it is or if you're walking down the street and point lens at a restaurant because Google Maps knows where you are image recognition is pretty easy to overlay info about the place you're looking at and even more awesome you can point lens at the bottom of a router that's sticker you know where it says the username and the password and the SSN and it'll log you in instead of having to type it all out so google lens looks awesome and well it's not out right now I think if it ends up looking and working as well as it did in those videos then it should be pretty dope so number 2 is Google assistant and first things first Google assistant is now available on the iPhone so it's on my iPhone I got in the App Store you can get a two right now and this is the exact same assistant it works the exact same way as it does on my pixel or any other Android phone so that's awesome and there's even some iPhone specific optimization since obviously you can't hold down the home button to get to it that's worth serious so you make a widget to put right next to your home screen to launch the assistant to get right to talking to it you can scroll up to see your history of things you've asked for in the past which is cool and then you can also even type questions to it so if you're in a quiet place and you don't have the space to ask things out loud to it you can type what you want to know and hit Send and it will answer hopefully I've coming to the Android version soon and then the other news is now Google assistant will hopefully be in way more places really soon thanks to the SDK becoming available to third-party developers so the example they use on stage is literally pulling up Google assistant and telling it you just want some Panera and instead of it telling you what Panera is near you it actually pulls up the menu lets you pick exactly what you want to eat and orders delivery so that's pretty awesome so we're starting to see Google assist in a lot more places it went from being this pixel only thing to being an Android only thing to being much more widely available and that's kind of what Google i/o is all about number three is Android oh and you're probably you're probably familiar with Android oh because I readied a video about it probably watch my top five features on Android Oh video if you haven't I'll link that below that's where a lot of the main stuff is but I oh they have announced that it's graduated from a developer preview to a beta so now it's available in the beta Channel anyone with a pixel or a nexus can download it and you can check out a couple of new features that have also made it to this version one thing I really like is the picture-in-picture mode which is sort of like while you're doing one thing you can continue doing that in the background and move to another thing and just hit the home button to continue multitasking you get a floating window that continues your background tab so while you're watching a YouTube video you can hit home and open up a Notes app and start taking notes while the video plays along you're done you can literally just swipe it away there's also something called notification dots kind of like something you would see in iOS where you have those little badges for a notification icon notification dots are the same way they'll indicate on an app on your home screen where you have notifications so to check that notification you can either pull down in the tray like normal or you can actually long press that app icon on the home screen to look at it and that'll give you the same information so android o is coming along pretty nicely we should see the full final version of it and probably get a name for it sometime this summer but it's got a couple other little features like improved autofill better-looking emojis that are redesigned all kinds of faster beat x things like that so but if you want to see the full 5 apps new features about Android oh of course you should watch not vidya so number four is google photos so you may or may not use this but the improvements to it in the last year I've gotten really good and they're pretty much all in the space of machine learning and AI so it already organizes your photos just by things that's recognized in them it recognizes that faces the locations places you took them the landmarks in the background all sorts of things like that now just making that information more available to you so there's something called suggested sharing where it recognizes faces in your photos and essentially suggests that you share those photos with the people that are in them there's also shared libraries which can automatically share every photo you take of your kids for example with your partner and possibly the coolest one is some automatic photo manipulation now this isn't just like the little filters it adds to your photo apparently if this works well it'll let you literally remove obstructions from the front of the photo the example they showed on stage was incredible I hope it works that well but again we have to see alright so number five last but not least is Google home again you may or may not have one of these but it's getting some improvements that are improving it well too one is called proactive assistance so you know how Google now sometimes gives you little notifications telling you there's a traffic incident on your normal route or something that kind of thinks you might want to know ahead of time well now Google home will also be able to do that but since it doesn't have a display it'll do that with the lights on the top so now when you see it lighting up by itself you can just ask what's up and it will tell you that news there's also hands-free calling come onto Google home which I think it's pretty awesome and also long overdue and now can even start showing responses to questions that require a visual response on your TV or your phone so before it wouldn't make sense to ask Google home a question like show me my calendar because there's no display obviously but now since it's smart enough to connect to your TV or your phone it will show that response on a device with the display which is pretty convenient so that's pretty much it thank you for watching our little recap of Google i/o 2017 feel free to share this with other people who you think might want to know what was announced today and don't want to watch the to our keynote or you can watch the to our keynote I'll link that below as well but uh that's pretty much it thank you for watching and I thought see has the next one peace all right I want to ask you both what was you seemed like the entire day wonky no now you have lunch in you and outcomes with your favorite new thing so my you cooked favorite there anything sure yeah for me Google n yes you know I love the fact that we see a lot of stops and lets out humans taken a lot of information so to be able to point things that stuff you're interested in finding more about it he's pretty cool yeah I think Android go you know I ought to you actually one consumer one and one developer one is that cheating that's kind of cheating that do what I want okay cool Android go you know it's a new configuration of Angela or the one give your left crowd and it's important and when we really want to make that experience great and then Kotlin which is the developer thing it's of new language you hear the crowd allowed a lot of time it's a good developer conference so you get the get the crowd going with absolutely those are my favorite
