Google recently proposed its next big idea at an internal summit: an AI-driven feature called "Project Ellmann" that will provide users with a snapshot, or as they put it, an "overview" of their entire lives. Google's new darling, Gemini, will power Ellmann. It will analyze your life history using your Google photos and search. This project will also include a chatbot, Ellmann Chat, which you can use to answer questions about yourself and your life. The project is named after American literary critic Richard David Ellmann. Ellmann will be able to present your life in chapters, allowing you to choose to view specific parts of your life. For example, content from your school days or specific vacations you've taken. I know this sounds exactly like the memory feature Apple Photos has been doing for years. But apparently, Google's version will be smarter and more detailed. Google's ultimate goal is not just to reminisce about your high school years or manage your life by people, places, and events. It aims to intelligently study and examine your life, better understand you and your story, and give you an overall life narrative. Their demo slide states, "When we step back and understand your life as a whole, your overall story becomes clear." If you find this extremely invasive and uncomfortable, you're not alone. They promote Ellmann Chat as a tool to ask questions about your life. In a sample question displayed, a user asks if they have pets. They receive a detailed response, including precise information about their pet dog. While it is touted as a feature that can "answer previously impossible questions," the chat function is a way to make Ellmann smarter. Every time you interact with it, you can provide more information about your life and confirm (or refute) the information it already knows about you. A Google spokesperson said, "This is an early internal exploration, and as always, if we decide to launch new features, we will take the time to ensure they are useful to people and designed with user privacy and security as our top priorities." So, let's try to remain optimistic and believe that the project won't disrupt users' lives as it may sound.
