'Search Generative Experience' now available to generate AI images from Google search bar

Google shows an image of the image generation function in a video. Click on the image below to play the video. If you type ``a photorealistic image of a capybara wearing a chef's hat and cooking breakfast and baking bacon in the forest'' into the Google search bar, four images will be generated. From there you can further edit the prompt and even generate new images.

The generated images can be downloaded as is, or they can be exported to Google Drive. Similar functionality can also be accessed through Google Image Search, which displays images based on search words. Internally, the '

Imagen ' family of image generation AI is used.

In addition to image generation, a text generation function has been introduced to help creators come up with ideas. Google says it has a Drafts feature to help you find writing ideas and inspiration, allowing you to make your drafts shorter or longer, or take on a more casual tone. .

For example, if you are researching how to convert a garage into a home office and find some ideas on the web or a company you would like to contact, write a note to SGE requesting a quote for the garage renovation. Apparently you can ask.

SGE has been rolled out to a limited number of users and will be expanded to more users over the coming weeks. The generation feature is available to users who have opted in to SGE via Google Search Labs, and at the time of writing, it is only available in the United States and in English.
