We are developing more seamless, intuitive ways to collaborate with AI
The mouse pointer has been a constant companion on computer screens, across every website, document and workflow. Despite how technologies have changed, the pointer has barely evolved in more than half a century.
Weâve been exploring new AI-powered capabilities to help the pointer not only understand what itâs pointing at, but also why it matters to the user.
Our goal is to address a common frustration: because a typical AI tool lives in its own window, users need to drag their world into it. We want the opposite: intuitive AI that meets users across all the tools they use, without interrupting their flow. For example, imagine pointing to an image of a building, and requesting âShow me directionsâ. Nothing more is needed when the AI system already understands the context.
Today, weâre outlining the underlying principles guiding our thinking on future user interfaces, and sharing experimental demos of an AI-enabled pointer, powered by Gemini. For example, you could visit Google AI Studio to edit an image or find places on the map, just by pointing and speaking.
