Google’s AI-Powered ‘Ask Photos’ Feature Spotted in the Wild

Google’s AI-powered Ask Photos feature for Google Photos has been spotted in the wild, with at least one user gaining access and sharing a video of its functionality.

Key points about Ask Photos:

  • Leverages AI to find specific pictures and videos using natural language
  • Powered by Google Gemini
  • First announced at Google I/O 2024 in May
  • Currently available through a limited US waitlist

The feature introduction screen provides details on data management, assuring users that:

  • Personal data won’t be used for ads or training models outside of Photos
  • Data won’t be reviewed by humans (except in cases of abuse and harm)

In the shared example, the AI successfully found sunset pictures from a specific location. Users can view more results or opt to use the classic search function if preferred.

While not yet widely available, the appearance of Ask Photos on some devices suggests a broader rollout may be coming soon. Interested users can sign up for the Ask Photos waitlist here.
