Google plans to bring an AI -MEME -power generator to your keyboard -how will it work? | Mint

After a series of big AI launched earlier this week, Google now seems to be working to integrate an Ai-powered Meme Generator directly into Gboard-the standard and most popular keyboard app on Android. Internally, the project is referred to as ‘Meme Studio’ and aims to provide users with a simple way to create memes, according to a report by Android Authority. Reportedly, the upcoming Gboard feature will enable users to select a base image and add their own captions. The report mentions that users will have access to hundreds of base images, and the choice of one will open an editor interface. At this stage, users can move or turn the text, adjust the scale and add extra captions. However, there is currently no option to change the font or text color – although that may change by the time the feature rolls out to all users. There will also be a ‘generating’ option in meme studio, where the built-in AI can automatically choose a base image and generate captions based on a topic. The report adds that the function will include advanced filters and precautions to prevent the creation of explicit or offensive content. AI-generated images that have taken over the Internet: While AI image generators have been in existence for some time, the function has only recently begun to gain greater recognition. Chatgpt, in particular, recently came into the spotlight after Openai unlocked its indigenous image generation capabilities, allowing the chatbot to create more detailed and accurate images, including editing actual images. Shortly thereafter, users on social media began to turn their life photos into Studio Ghibli-style illustrations and, more recently, action figure themes. About the same time, Xai’s gray also attracted attention, with users flocking to the Chatbot of Elon Musk as an alternative to Chatgpt. One of the use cases for indigenous image generation is the ability to create more nuanced memes, similar to those created by one. While Chatgpt received much of the credit for the popularization of indigenous image generation, Google actually introduced similar capabilities in its twin 2.0 flash model a few days before. With the introduction of its new meme studio function, Google may want to regain the spotlight and emphasize the multimodal strengths of its AI. First published: 12 Apr 2025, 11:43 am Ist
