AI-Powered Search Engine Features

Google Presents its New Circle to Search Feature

Google has been working on new developments and it introduces the Circle to Search feature powered by AI. Users are met with a unique search engine that helps pinpoint objects by circling the items that they are curious about on any app on their phone.

To do so, users only need to circle, tap, or highlight the item and the way it works on any app includes tapping a restaurant name within a chat or circling items in a photo. This makes searching a more integrated and seamless function that does not disrupt lifestyle activities. When being searched, the overlay appears along the bottom of the screen to show users the results of the selected contents.
