Goodbye to guides: Google AI offers you clues about a game, just by touching the screen

In the latest beta of the Google app for Androidthe company has expanded the artificial intelligence functions of Circle to search. Now you are able to look for clues about a gamedepending on where you are, simply by touching the mobile screen.

For decades, gamers have used video game guides to get clues on the most complicated titles. In the future it will no longer be necessary, because they will be replaced by an artificial intelligence trained in the game. Or at least, the AI ​​will point exactly to the clue within a guide that we are looking for.

Circle to search add a new feature Seek help from this gamewhich is going to make things a lot easier for the players.

Google’s AI that seeks help in games

This new Google artificial intelligence tool is only available in the latest beta of the Google app for Androidspecifically version 16.0.7, according to has discovered Android Authority.

This means it only works directly on Android mobile games. But you have the option to record a video of the place where you get stuck in a PC or console game, upload it to your mobile, and use Google’s AI from there.

Assuming you’re playing a mobile game and you come to an area you can’t miss, simply tap Surround to search, then select the new option Find help for this game. You can see it in this video:

As we see, the Google AI takes a screenshot of the place where you are within the gameanalyzes the image to identify the area, and then Search the Internet for videos and game guides that talk about that specific area.

At the moment, Surround to Search does not offer you the clue or solution directly, you have to watch the videos or read the guides. But at least it saves you having to look for them yourself.

This new functionality is not perfect, since the option Find help for this game It also appears in apps that are not games.

Furthermore, in many cases this artificial intelligence does not know how to locate the area of ​​the game you are inand shows you genetic videos with help for that game, or links to the cover of the guide.

But we must not forget that this is a beta, so Google will surely improve it before the final launch, making it capable of differentiating between games and apps, and even training the artificial intelligence with the most popular titles, so that it can identify better places and traffic jams.

Google’s AI, Circle to Search, is now capable of seeking help when you get stuck in a video game. A new function that many gamers will appreciate.
