Google's latest experiment gives you advice from the mentor you always wished you had
TL;DR The latest experiment from Google Labs is called Portraits. This feature lets you receive coaching from AI representations of real-life experts. The first of these Portraits features author Kim Scott. As Google continues to work on AI experiments at a breakneck pace, the company is already pushing out a fresh one for you to try out. The tech giant's latest creation aims to give you advice through the mentor you always wished you had. In a new blog, Google announced it's rolling out an experiment called 'Portraits.' This feature appears as an illustrative avatar and is designed to be a Gemini-powered coach based on a real-life expert. The first of these Portraits will feature author Kim Scott, known for the book Radical Candor. According to Google, you'll be able to interact with a Portrait by asking questions, similar to talking with any other chatbot. However, the Portrait uses Scott's voice and draws directly from her content to offer a 'relevant and insightful response.' This AI focuses specifically on the creator's content, so conversations stay on that coach's particular area of expertise. The Mountain View-based firm is allowing people to try its first Portrait out right now. However, you'll need to be 18 years old and live in the US to have access.
