Google has partnered with Adobe to integrate their respective artificial intelligence (AI) technologies

Adobe has entered into a significant AI partnership with Google, wherein the latter will incorporate Firefly, Adobe's AI product, into Bard. This integration will enable users to create their own images and designs.

During Google I/O in California on Tuesday, an announcement was made about various updates to the company's AI products. One of these updates involved the integration of Duet AI into Google's suite of products, which includes Maps, Sheets, Slides, Docs, and Gmail.

In addition, the search engine giant unveiled several new portable and mobile devices, among them the Google Pixel Fold - the company's inaugural folding phone. Unfortunately, this device will not be available in Australia.

On the other hand, Google's first Pixel Tablet for the local market and a budget-friendly version of the company's Pixel phone, called the Pixel 7A, are among the devices that will be released in the Australian market.

It seems that Google is taking cues from the legal issues surrounding ChatGPT by implementing a new feature in its AI product, Bard. Starting next week, Bard will begin displaying source citations, which will be applicable to blocks of code and other content. These citations can be viewed when a user highlights specific text in a Bard response.

Additionally, the company has introduced a dark theme designed for developers, as well as an export function for code.

Furthermore, Google has announced plans to expand its Bard service by introducing it to two of the most technologically advanced countries in Asia, namely Japan and Korea. These two languages are part of the company's goal to have Bard operate in 40 languages in the near future. Additionally, Google will remove the initial waitlist and make the product available in 180 countries.

Through its partnership with Adobe, Google users will soon be able to ask Bard to create an image using the Firefly product.

During a demonstration, Google showcased an example of a parent designing a birthday party invitation for their child using Bard. Once created, users will have the ability to edit the images produced by Bard in Adobe Express.

Google Lens is another product that will benefit from integration with Bard. With this integration, Lens will be able to scan an image of two dogs and generate a caption based on their breed and other characteristics.

Google has expressed its intention to integrate Bard into more of its apps, as well as those of its partners such as Kayak, OpenTable, ZipRecruiter, Instacart, Wolfram, and Khan Academy.

Google has finally released its new mobile device lineup, which includes the highly anticipated Google Pixel Fold. However, the launch was somewhat marred by a leaked video that surfaced on Twitter two weeks prior.

Although Google did not initially address the leaked video, it later posted a teaser-style video on Instagram on Friday to showcase the new device.

Google has joined Samsung and Microsoft in the relatively limited market for folding phones. The larger flip phone market also uses similar plastic OLED technology, with devices made by Oppo, Motorola, and Samsung.

Earlier this year, Samsung demonstrated its ability to produce a multi-directional folding phone, while Oppo showcased a rollable screen that could be extended as needed.

One of the main selling points of the Google Pixel Fold was the inclusion of a free VPN. However, Google had already launched a complimentary VPN service for all customers of its cloud storage service, Google One, in Australia back in March.

The newly launched Google Pixel 7A features a 6.1-inch screen, Google's Tensor G2 processor, a dual-camera system, 8GB of RAM, and a refresh rate of 90Hz. It also boasts a long battery life that can last for 24-72 hours. The Google Pixel Tablet, on the other hand, is an 11-inch device that ranges in price from $899 to $999 depending on the storage size, which ranges from 128GB to 256GB. The tablet is similar in appearance to the Google Nest Hub and comes with its own docking station.
