Google has released an AI voice chat feature in its Search application among Android, and iOS users. This capability allows traditional voice search to become conversational, which enables users to raise complex, multi-part questions in a manner that sounds natural. The AI voice chat can reply to context and knows history without repeating wake words intending to give quicker, more natural information retrieval.

Highlights

• The AI voice chat enables natural, back-and-forth conversations within Google Search.
• It maintains context between queries, eliminating the need for repeated wake words.
• Multimodal input supports combining voice queries with images for richer searches.
• Availability starts globally in English, with over 100 languages planned by year-end.
• Users control privacy settings, including disabling voice recording storage.

This AI voice chat capability enables the users to dialogue with Google Search. They can pose fine-grained questions or narrow down search with follow up prompts in a seamless manner. The contextual understanding of the technology, during the conversion, makes the process much more efficient than with simple voice commands when solving several steps of information requests.

The AI voice chat is supported by special language models used by Google to process natural phrases, style, and accents. It includes multimodal functionalities, as its users can pose questions regarding pictures uploaded in the course of the voice interaction. This combination provides stronger and accessible search without using any hands.

The capability will now roll out worldwide to those who use the Google Search app on both Android and iOS, and it is currently only available in English. By the year's end, more than 100 other languages are going to be supported. Google offers such settings to control their privacy, such as turning off the mechanism of saving voice recordings or clearing the history of activity.
