The hallmark of Google's Pixel phones has always been the software, whether that's through breakthroughs in computational photography or Google's call screening tech that blocks pesky robocalls. Google today announced the Pixel 10 series, alongside a smartwatch and wireless earbuds, and with them come a slew of new artificial intelligence features ready to wow you. Soniya Jobanputra, director of product management at Google, tells WIRED the Pixel 10 series is all about giving you back time by “taking the mundane and boring out of your life.” Let's take a look at exactly how it plans to do that through these software features, some of which may land on older Pixel phones and even other Android phones in the future. Camera Coach Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Having the best camera gear doesn't make you a good photographer. That seems to be what Google is implying with its latest addition to the Pixel Camera app: Camera Coach. Toggle this assistant on, and it'll ask you to scan the scene you want to photograph. It'll then ask you what you want in the photo while offering different example shots based on the subject matter. If you tap the “Get Inspired” option, it'll offer AI-generated example photos based on the scan. Choose whatever photo you like best, and the Pixel Camera app will run you through a series of instructions to help you recreate the shot. That can include switching to Portrait mode, zooming in, and even adjusting where you're standing—it even asked me to shift my angle to avoid the big bold “Chelsea Piers” marquee in one of my shots. This feature—launching in Preview—isn't going to turn you into the next Ansel Adams, but what it does do is give you a glimpse into the existing capabilities of your Pixel phone. Companies have long told me that people don't use a vast majority of the features available on their smartphones, and Camera Coach feels like one step in helping folks learn about their device's capabilities (if they remember to use it). And by following the steps, maybe it'll get you to start thinking about how you want to frame your next photograph.

Google's new Magic Cue feature is sort of like that, though it only works in the Google Messages app and via Gboard, Google's keyboard app. Instead of giving you AI-powered canned responses to use, it specifically hunts through your personal information in Google apps to find answers to questions people ask you.
