Google today announced several completely new apps for Pixel phones, some powered by Google Gemini AI. The most basic is a Pixel Weather app. A new Call Notes feature transcribes phone calls to make phone conversations searchable via AI. (Call Notes runs completely on-device for privacy, and both parties are notified when it's enabled.) A new Pixel Screenshots app does something similar, letting you search all of your screenshots using AI. A new Pixel Studio app is dedicated to visual generative AI, letting you create and tweak images using text prompts. It can create styled or realistic images (unlike Apple's generative AI) and lets you add text and stickers. Finally, Gemini Live is a new, conversational version of Google's Gemini multi-modal AI. It requires a paid subscription to Gemini Advanced, but a free year is included with the new Pixel 9 series.
