To help you organize your daily life, the Google Keep note-taking application could also accommodate AI. With the “Magic Lists” function, it would allow you to generate shopping lists. Practical !
Google Keep is very popular for quickly taking notes, embellished with photos, voice recordings, small drawings or thematic colors. It’s a kind of centralized online memory aid system, which allows you to keep your notes in the same place, so you can easily find them, no matter what device you use. Indeed, as Keep is integrated into the Google Workspace office suite, everything is synchronized in the Cloud, so you can find this information from anywhere. While new formatting options are expected to appear soon (see our article), Google’s application will soon become even more useful, with the upcoming arrival of “magic lists”. A very practical function for doing your shopping!
Magic Lists: AI arrives in Google Keep
Our colleagues from 9to5Google found in the APK code of version 5.23.422.03.90 of the Android application a function called Magic Lists, or “magic lists” in French. With it, you will only have to write a three-word prompt, as you would with ChatGPT or Bard, and the AI will create to-do or shopping lists in the blink of an eye. For example, if you type “travel tips for my trip to Croatia“, the artificial intelligence will generate a packing list and a guide for you. Likewise, if you type “how to take care of my new pet”, the AI will provide you with a list of tasks to complete. The same goes for making your shopping or school supply lists. It’s a bit like what Carrefour offers with Hopla, but for larger areas!
Magic Lists is reminiscent of a similar function tested in 2022, called “List It”, on the AI Test Kitchen platform. It allowed the use of LaMDA, one of Google’s language models, to generate a list of subtasks based on an objective that was described to him. For example, if you asked “I want to learn to code”the AI generated a list of subtasks, such as “learn the basics of HTML and CSS” Or “sign up for a coding boot camp”. Afterwards, let’s not forget that AI is still in its infancy. Even though generative AI is already used in a number of Google products, it is still in the learning phase. HAS see how this will evolve afterwards!
