- The new Pixel Screenshots app only processes about 15 screenshots a day automatically.
- Pixel Screenshots is a new app on the Google Pixel 9 that extracts information from your screenshots so you can search through them later.
- Many liken it to Microsoft’s Recall feature for Windows, but Recall processes far more screenshots far more frequently.
The Google Pixel 9 series made its debut at the Made by Google event earlier this week, and as everyone expected, Google AI was the centerpiece of the event, even more so than the actual hardware. The Pixel 9 not only introduces exciting new AI camera features like Add Me and Reimagine but also new AI-powered apps like Pixel Screenshots.
Pixel Screenshots is a new app that uses on-device AI to analyze the screenshots you take, extract text and other information from those screenshots, and then create a database that you can later search through. For example, if you took a screenshot of a flan recipe a couple of months ago, you can open the Pixel Screenshots app and search “flan recipe” to quickly find that screenshot. You can even type questions about the recipe into the search bar, and the Pixel Screenshots app will use on-device AI to generate an answer.
