What is Project Astra?
Project Astra is an AI-based multimodal tool that helps you with day-to-day tasks. Powered with Google Gemini, Project Astra uses a camera to help you identify objects around you and give you details about the things that it sees through the camera viewfinder. With Project Astra, you can not only type but also have conversations, draw on it and even have a video chat with it to tell you about your surroundings. Project Astra runs on Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, which helps it respond to user queries quickly, especially for everyday common tasks.
Project Astra – The Only Virtual Assistant You Need
As seen by a video demo by Google, we can see that the model can identify objects, give you more information about them as well, and even help you look for objects that you might have misplaced. If you take a look at CNET’s demo video of Project Astra, you can see that the model can identify food products and can even suggest different recipes with the ingredients that you place in front of the camera. Project Astra as of now has four does for you to choose from – Storytelling, Pictionary, Free-Form, and Alliteration. The storytelling mode of Project Astra is very simple. You simply show it different objects, and it will create a story out of the said objects. As seen in the Google event demo, Project Astra is integrated into the Google Gemini app, so you can use your mobile phone and Google Gemini to help you with real-world common tasks.
