Google Labs, the tech giant’s team devoted to experimental product design, has launched a new AI-fueled app for iOS and Android that will quite literally animate your life.
Behold, Dreambeans. Why is it called that? We’ll get to that later.
First, what is it?
Gozde Oznur, the product lead behind the new app, told TechCrunch that the idea is to use data culled from across your various Google services to generate a curated list of AI-illustrated “stories.” These stories come in a variety of different shapes and forms, although — in general — they seem to be lifestyle suggestions. Oznur describes as “places to visit, topics to explore, things to try, upcoming trips, events that you should be aware of.”
Dreambeans generates these ideas based on a user’s Google data. “With your permission, Dreambeans uses Personal Intelligence to connect information from Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search History, to curate a finite collection of daily stories designed to spark new ideas,” the company says.
