Improved search in Google Photos — plus early access to Ask Photos

Today, early access to Ask Photos is rolling out to select U.S. users as part of Google Labs. This experimental experience is a step beyond our improved search experience. Using the latest Gemini models, Ask Photos can understand the context of your photo gallery - like the most important people in your life, hobbies or favorite foods - and pull out relevant details to help you find specific memories and uncover information about your life.

For example, if you are trying to plan your next camping trip and want to return to a favorite site, you could ask "Where did we camp last time we went to Yosemite?" Or if you want to go back to a restaurant you enjoyed and order the same thing, just ask, "What did we eat at the hotel in Stanley?" Ask Photos understands details, like where you took photos with your camping gear or what dish is sitting on the table in your picture at the restaurant, to give you the answer. And because Ask Photos is conversational, if it doesn't find the right answer immediately, you can provide extra clues or details to nudge it in the right direction.
