Google develops Ellmann chatbot that will tell the user’s life story
Google is working on a project that aims to use artificial intelligence technology to create a picture of users’ lives “in retrospect” using mobile phone data such as photos and search queries.
This was reported by CNBC.
The project, codenamed Ellmann and named after the literary critic Richard Ellmann, involves using Gemini to process search results, identify patterns in user photos, and create a personalized chatbot to “answer questions” about a person’s life.
Ellmann’s project was presented by the Google Photo product manager together with the Gemini teams at a recent internal Google summit.
As explained in the presentation, the goal of the project is to create a “Storyteller of your life.”
In addition, the project team described the essence of Ellmann with the following phrase: “Imagine opening ChatGPT and it already knows everything about your life.”
Next, the team showed an example of a chat in which a user asks: “Do I have a pet?” The chat replies that yes, the user has a dog that wears a red raincoat, and then gives the dog’s name and the names of the two family members with whom the pet spends most of its time.
Currently, the Ellmann project is still at an early stage of development and has no official launch date.
