Google announces the launch of a number of new personalization features for search, discovery and news applications Google has introduced a series of new personalization features for search, discovery (Discover) and news services. First, a new button feature called "Preferred Sources" allows publishers to embed it into their own web pages. Users can simply click the button to add a specific website as a preferred source of information. This feature has been launched before, allowing users to choose which media and website content to see more frequently in the "hot stories" of each topic, and was further expanded to the AI ​​overview and AI mode earlier this year. According to Google, users have selected more than 600,000 unique sources. For content publishers, they can obtain the embed code for the button by consulting the official documentation. At the same time, Google is preparing to introduce a new setting for "Google Explore", which is designed to help users accurately adjust their content information flow through natural language instructions. In the Google app, users can click on the three-dot menu in the feed and enter in everyday language the specific topics they want to see more or less of. For example, users can directly put forward requirements: "Want to see ideas about kitchen renovations (environmentally friendly types only), or videos about weekend self-driving trips (but not camping related)." Google also said that it is further simplifying the customization experience of daily audio briefings in the Android version of the Google news application. Users can now customize their own audio briefings by selecting specific topics, identifying sources, and obtaining links to full articles. In addition to the new features of the above product lines, Google also brings several other ecological updates simultaneously. The Ask Gemini function has been officially pushed to Google Chat, allowing the communication application to directly extract and integrate information from the user's entire Google Workspace. In addition, in the latest round of business expansion, the Gemini artificial intelligence assistant has also officially landed on Waymo’s self-driving car Ojai. Ojai is Waymo's self-driving taxi tailored for online ride-hailing services and is currently available to passengers in Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. Users in the car only need to click on the Gemini icon on the in-car display to conveniently interact with this AI assistant through voice commands. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information station (author: source: cnBeta.COM)
