Google is planning to integrate the text-to-image generator Imagen with Gboard on Android devices.
The new text-to-image generator will reportedly be visible on the shortcuts page where you can find options like the clipboard, translate, sticker and others.
Google says Imagen is based on its ‘large transformer language models’ and is ‘surprisingly effective at encoding text for image synthesis.’ Last year, Google compared Imagen with other image generators like Dall-E 2 and Stable Diffusion and said its image generator was better at understanding user requests and can handle rare words and challenging prompts with ease.
If and when Google integrates the text-to-image generator Imagen with Gboard on Android devices, it will enable users to create and send their very own images without having to search for an image on the internet.
