According to the company's live-streamed Search On the conference, the new function will be available within months via its Google Lens search tool. Google stated in May that advancements in artificial intelligence software would enable this.
According to Prabhakar Raghavan, Senior Vice President, using this new function, one might tap the Lens icon while viewing a photo of a shirt and ask Google to recognise the same pattern – but on a different piece of apparel, such as socks. He went on to say that it might be beneficial when seeking for something difficult to explain accurately with words alone.
