Soon, Google Assistant users will get webpage summaries while they search for stuff online. This will be a very cool feature as it will simplify a lot of things for users around the world. Already, some experts have noticed lines of codes in the app’s APK files that point to the existence of such an amazing feature.
It is good to note that the announcement of the possible existence of this feature was not made by Google, making it unofficial. Instead, it was made by the folks at APK Insight after digging through the APK files of the Assistant app. While their interpretation of the features within the lines of code might be wrong, there is a strong chance that they might be accurate.
So, Android users can keep their fingers crossed and their hopes high in expectation of this feature. Once available, it will revolutionize how Android users browse the internet to search for specific information. This article will look into how this coming feature will be of any benefit once it becomes available for global usage.
Benefits of the coming Google Assistant webpage summary feature
Have you ever tried browsing the internet in search of a specific detail but got bombarded with tons of information? Sometimes the webpages that pull up after the search do not cover the topic in such a way that it answers your questions. Since there are lots of web pages, you might find it hard to pinpoint the best one, so you spend quality time reading through all web pages.
One set of people that face this challenge a lot are students in their quest for materials to complete an assignment or project. Well, the webpage summary feature will come to your rescue with the help of Google’s generative AI model. This feature will have the responsibility of summarizing a webpage, so users can understand its content without going through it.
Now, that’s a pretty nifty feature, and some users are already seeing the summarize button while browsing. By simply pulling up Google Assistant while on a webpage, some users get a summarize button. The button sits on the right-hand side of the Assistant interface while using the Chrome browser.
By tapping on the summarize button, users will get quick details on the information present on the webpage. At the moment, users seeing this button report that it doesn’t seem to work. But in the coming weeks, they might get to see it summarize webpages they visit while browsing.
One thing to be aware of is that this feature might only be available on the Chrome browser. Also, there are uncertainties about whether it will be a Pixel-exclusive feature once it becomes available. However, there is no question as to how useful this feature will be for users across the world.
