Move over Google Assistant; Google has a brand new personal AI assistant that it's much cooler and more useful than anything it did before. It's called Project Astra, and it's powered by Google's Gemini AI. Project Astra is an agent-type AI product that uses Gemini's multimodality to answer real-time questions about the world around you. It sounds a lot like OpenAI's new GPT-4o upgrade that ChatGPT just got. That's because it is.
This is even better and easier than Circle to Search, an AI feature that Google unveiled earlier this year. https://twitter.com/Google/status/1790433789811753460 The real mind-blowing detail in Google's Project Astra demo concerns a feature GPT-4o doesn't have: keeping track of your surroundings. If you need to ask questions, the AI remembers what it saw in the video. At one point, the smartphone user asks the AI where their glasses are. And Project Astra gives them the correct answer.
