In the future, the product will not only be able to understand where each appliance is, but also turn on and off connected appliances such as smart TVs, air conditioners and more.
O Generative AI is focused on editing photos according to special commands. Imagine, for example, you have a photo in autumn weather, but you would like to see how it would look if it had been taken during the winter. Just give the command for the functionality and the photo will be edited in the best possible way. It is important to remember that the Generative AI does not create photos from scratch, but rather manipulates a file that already exists.
