(Reuters) -Google announced a flurry of artificial intelligence products \u2013 but users might need AI just to understand them all.<\/p>\n

The Alphabet (NASDAQ:) Inc unit on Wednesday demonstrated or referenced at least 15 different AI products and features ranging from software solely for creating smartphone wallpaper to another for organizing personal files to yet another for photo editing.<\/p>\n

Attendees of Google\u2019s I\/O conference in Mountain View, California, could be forgiven for leaving the annual event with their heads spinning. Take one of Google’s press releases from the event: \u201cDuet AI serves as your expert pair programmer and assists cloud users with contextual code completion, offering suggestions tuned to your code base, generating entire functions in real-time, and assisting you with code reviews and inspections.\u201d <\/p>\n

For what seemed like every one of Google\u2019s myriad products, the company had a distinct AI aide. Those wishing for snappier text messages can turn to a new assistant called Magic Compose that can transform more mundane prose into something sounding like William Shakespeare. If that\u2019s not mellifluous enough, Google\u2019s new MusicLM AI can make literal music out of text. Or there\u2019s Sidekick to help you compose better documents in Google Docs. The company\u2019s Perspectives AI finds personal stories from videos, blogs and social media posts to augment answers to search queries.<\/p>\n

A Google spokesperson declined to comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of buzzwords and a lot of different products,\u201d said Dan Ives, a Wedbush analyst. \u201cI call it a smorgasbord.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the two-hour keynote felt like a word salad, there were nonetheless meaty business needs behind the buffet of announcements. Investors agreed, sending the company’s shares up 5.5% on Thursday to a nine-month high. <\/p>\n

Google is in a heated race with rival Microsoft Corp <\/span><\/span> (NASDAQ:) to maintain its sizable lead in search and the estimated $300 billion total market for ads. Microsoft garnered accolades for adding generative AI, provided by startup OpenAI, alongside its Bing search engine to answer more nuanced questions and saw an initial uptick in market share as a result.<\/p>\n

Google responded Wednesday by showing off what it calls the search generative experience. According to a demonstration, that will satisfy the very specific cohort of web surfers who are seeking the best red e-bikes for a 5-mile (8-km) commute with hills. Search generative experience is not to be confused with Google\u2019s direct competitor to OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT chatbot known as Bard.<\/p>\n

And there was much, much more: med-PaLM 2, Vertex (NASDAQ:) AI, sec-PaLM, Gemini, Project Tailwind, Codey, Chirp, Duet AI for Google Workspace and Duet AI for Google Cloud.<\/p>\n

As the Bard himself put it: \u201cwords, words, words.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
