le Maps and Google Multisearch are now available.

Google today announced many improvements to Google Search, Google Lens and Google Maps. This is from the live streaming from Paris this morning. We initially thought that it would be about Google’s AI efforts for Search, but that was quickly changed to Google Bard.

What is the latest? Google spent some time showcasing Bard once again. We covered that in detail here.

Multisearch / Lens updates

Google has announced some updates and additional information in multisearch, Android, and Google Lens that are specific to Google Search.

What is Google multisearch? Google multisearch allows you to use your phone’s camera and search for an image using Google Lens. You can then add a text query to the image search. Google will use the image as well as the text query to provide visual search results.

What is near me multisearch? Near me allows you to zoom in on image and text queries, by using your camera to search for products or any other information. You can also use this feature to locate local results. You can search for a particular dish in a restaurant.

• Multisearch will soon be available on the internet. Google stated that we will soon see Multisearch on mobile devices.
• Multisearch is now available worldwide on mobile in all languages and countries that Lens is supported.
• Multisearch near you will soon expand to images on the internet globally via mobile devices in the coming months.

Google Lens – 10 billion. Google Lens allows you to snap a picture and Google will give you more information about the photo. Google says that Google Lens is being used over 10 billion times per month. It seems like Google Lens is a way to encourage usage.
