Google Photos Unveils New Functionality to Assist Users in Selecting Outfits

Google Photos this summer. Google and Motorola revealed the new wardrobe feature, suggesting that certain Motorola devices might receive it ahead of other Android smartphones, such as the latest Motorola Razr models. Wardrobe enables Google Photos to identify all the clothing and accessories featured in your images, allowing you to browse the options in your closet and mix-and-match pieces directly from your mobile device.

It’s improbable that Google Photos will encompass images of all your apparel, jewelry, and other accessories, but users of the wardrobe feature will probably begin taking more outfit photos so the AI can organize the items in Google Photos. When this new feature becomes accessible to users, they will be able to view clothing items by category, which will be useful for locating a specific garment. This feature will also allow users to combine different items into an outfit, save them to moodboards, and share them with friends. A Try It On option will also be integrated into Google Photos, helping users visualize the outfit before wearing it.

Some specifics remain uncertain

If the Try It On feature seems recognizable, it’s because Google has already implemented this AI-driven functionality in other areas. Google Shopping features a Try It On option that allows users to virtually try on clothing while shopping online. You simply need to upload a photo to virtually test the clothing. Try It

### Codex’s Latest Pet Feature: An Exciting Enhancement to the Superapp

The most recent update from OpenAI for Codex introduces an entertaining feature that lets users engage with Tamagotchi-like pets. This fun addition aims to enrich the user experience while working with Codex on Mac devices.

#### What Are Codex Pets?

The new `/pet` command gives users the ability to show or conceal various quirky creatures that act as lively companions during coding sessions. Although the specific selection of characters may appear odd—no goblins, for example—users can also invent their own distinctive pets. These animated friends operate similarly to the Dynamic Island feature, offering updates on Codex’s background tasks.

#### The Allure of Virtual Companions

The launch of Codex pets is more than just a gimmick; it serves as a strong incentive for users who relish virtual companions to dive into Codex. In the worst-case scenario? Users may discover themselves being more productive while relishing the cheerful interaction with their new pets.

#### A Personal Connection

As users interact with Codex, they might feel motivated to investigate related content, like browsing websites focusing on these virtual companions. For example, a user might come across the “Lil Finder Guy,” a character that brings a whimsical element to the Mac’s Finder interface, sharing delightful messages that celebrate the charm of small, animated helpers.

#### Conclusion

With the introduction of the pet feature, Codex is making a substantial move towards becoming a superapp, merging productivity with playful engagement. Users can explore Codex pets and even learn how to design their own by checking out the official documentation. This update not only improves the user experience but also fosters creativity and participation within the Codex community.

Gemini’s Most Intelligent Organization Tool Now Accessible for Free

Gemini notebooks are officially arriving on your smartphone, available for both free and paid users.

Essential Information

  • Gemini Notebooks are now mobile-friendly, and for once, Google isn’t concealing the best features behind a paywall.
  • This feature transforms Gemini into a project management tool, allowing you to organize chats and files instead of managing unrelated threads.
  • Your current NotebookLM notebooks sync with the mobile app, enabling you to store chats directly into them as sources.

Initially launched on the web as a research-oriented tool, Notebooks are now accessible on mobile via Google Gemini. This time around, both free and paid users can utilize the feature directly within the app, free from paywalls.

If you missed the initial rollout, Google started integrating Gemini and NotebookLM back in December. It originally launched on the web, allowing the chatbot to utilize your research references. Earlier this month, Google incorporated notebooks directly within Gemini, providing a space to organize files and conversations by project.

Previously, access to this feature was limited to users subscribed to AI Premium, Pro, or Ultra plans. Now, the NotebookLM team announced on X that it is accessible to all users in the Gemini mobile application.

How it operates on your smartphone

These notebooks function like enhanced project folders. Instead of scrolling through a lengthy list of unrelated conversations, you can categorize discussions and documents together. For instance, if you’re organizing a trip or researching a new smartphone, you can consolidate all related discussions in one notebook.

Now, your private notebooks from NotebookLM are visible in the Gemini app, and you can compile your mobile conversations into those notebooks as sources.

Bear in mind that while everyone can access the feature, the quantity of sources you can include in each notebook is determined by your subscription plan:

  • Free users: 50 sources
