It has been reported that Google is developing a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for Google Keep. The note-taking application of the company could potentially introduce an AI-powered capability that transforms hand-drawn text and sketches into images. Named Help Me Draw, the feature’s evidence was reportedly discovered in the most recent release of the Google Keep app for Android. The feature is expected to debut in the tech giant’s Workspace Lab initially, followed by a progressive rollout to a broader group of users.
Exploring the Potential of Google Keep’s ‘Help Me Draw’ Feature
Android Authority and AssembleDebug have identified the AI feature of Google Keep that is currently being developed. The publication discovered specific indicators linked to the feature while examining the application package kit (APK) and successfully incorporated it into the app interface. Given that the AI functionality is most likely cloud-based, it was not possible to test the feature. Reportedly, it was sighted on Google Keep version 5. 24. 462. 04. 90 for Android.
Nevertheless, upon reviewing various screenshots that were shared, numerous aspects regarding the AI tool were revealed. The feature known as ‘Help Me Draw’ allows users to generate distinctive images from their hand-drawn sketches, bringing their doodles to life.
After the feature is launched, users will be able to casually jot down a handwritten note or draw a sketch on a Google Keep page, then highlight it to activate the AI tool. By selecting “Help Me Draw,” the AI will analyze the visual information to determine if it can identify it. The AI is able to open a text field for users to input their desired prompt for creation, if capable.
There is said to be an option available to choose from various styles including vector drawing, colored pencil, ink marker, and more. When all elements are incorporated, the AI is believed to improve the artwork. Nevertheless, as the feature remained inactive, the publication was unable to evaluate the final outcome.
It is worth mentioning that the feature described as Workspace Lab is expected to be accessible to Google Workspace users who have the Gemini add-on. Nonetheless, it is impossible to make any definitive statements until the technology behemoth issues an official announcement regarding the matter.
