Gemini AI for Android seems to be getting a new feature that will enable users to edit the images generated by the chatbot. A report found evidence for the feature within the Google beta app for Android.
Interestingly, the feature is said to enable users to edit images using both text prompts and by highlighting a specific part of the image. While the feature was found in the beta app of Google, it has not been made visible and beta testers might not be able to use the feature.
Editing the images generated by an AI chatbot is a difficult proposition currently. In most cases, users are required to regenerate the image with improved prompts. However, there is no guarantee the newly generated images will be similar to the ones previously created by the chatbot. Recently, Meta announced image editing capabilities for its chatbot.

Google Adding AI-Backed Features To Its Chatbot
Now, as per a report from Android Authority, Google might add a similar feature to its in-house chatbot. The outlet found evidence of the feature within the Google beta app for Android version 15.29.34.29. Gemini AI users on Android will reportedly get two ways to edit a generated image.
The first method is to use text prompts. Once the chatbot generates an image, users will reportedly be able to write prompts to change specific elements in the image. The report suggests that AI can now differentiate when users want an entirely new image and when users just want the generated image to be slightly different.
Another method will enable users to highlight a part of the image by circling it. As per the publication, this can also be done by a stylus with smartphones that support it. Once users circle apart, they will be able to type a prompt about what they want changed about it, and reportedly, Gemini AI will get it done.
As of now, the feature is not visible currently and was found during an app teardown. The report suggests the company could make some server-side tweaks before it becomes active. Google, however, has not made any announcement related to the image editing feature.

Google Is Leveraging Gemini AI To Make Its Robots Smarter
Google’s DeepMind robotics team has published a new research paper that details how it is changing robot navigation using Gemini 1.5 Pro -- one of the company’s advanced AI models.
According to the research paper, Google Gemini 1.5 Pro is using an extended context window. This enables the AI model to process much more information than earlier. What it also does is that it empowers the robots to be more flexible and adaptable by remembering and understanding their environment.
The process of making robots smarter starts with researching and filming video tours of offices, homes, and other surroundings. The robot, backed by Gemini 1.5 Pro, then watches the videos to learn the layout, where things are stored, and get a better idea of the area.
