Google Assistant Memory Wants To Become Your New Pinterest Board

Google is working on a new feature called “Memory” for Google Assistant that saves your content in one convenient place. The feature is described as “an easy, quick way to save and find everything in one place.” Users can save reminders, thoughts, on-screen content, and even real-world things to Memory. It’s not exactly clear what that last part entails, but it could mean taking photos of items that’ll be saved in a separate space outside your gallery.

Memory will apparently be smart enough to save links to saved screenshots whenever a website is involved, which could be very useful if you want to go back to the content source. Similar to the Collections tab on the Google Discover feed, but with more AI input. It will also pull contextual information and translate them into actions, like tracking a shipment or saving a date. Apparently users can save “articles, books, contacts, events, flights, hotels, images, movies, music, notes, photos, places, playlists, products, recipes, reminders, restaurants, screenshots, shipments, TV shows, videos, and websites.”
