Google Launches AI Image Generator and Email Drafting in Search

Google Search can now generate images from text prompts like "draw a..." or "sketch a..." through its Search Generative Experience (SGE) feature.

There are guardrails in place, such as not generating photorealistic faces or violating Google's policies. Generated images will have metadata labeling.

Google Images can also suggest generating images from search terms directly in the results. This works better for inspirational searches rather than specific characters.

SGE will now create draft emails too, demonstrated with an example of emailing a contractor to convert a garage to an office.

To access SGE features, you need to enroll in the beta and be over 18. Some features are still limited for younger teens.
