>> SUNDAR PICHAI: Good morning everyone.Thank you for joining us.As we were preparing for this event, we were all devastated bythe news coming out of Las Vegas as I'm sure all of you were.And that is coming off of a challenging past few weeks withhurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria and other events aroundthe world.It's been hard to see the suffering but I have been movedand inspired by everyday heroism, people opening up theirhomes and to first responders literally risking their lives tosave other people.Our hearts and prayers are with the victims and familiesimpacted by these terrible events.We are working closely with many relief agencies in affectedareas and we are committed to doing our part.It is a true privilege to be at the SFJAZZ Center.It's a great American institution for jazz performanceand education and it is really good to see familiar faces inthe audience.As always, I want to give a shout out to people joining uson the livestream globally from around the world.Since last year and since Google I/O, we've been working hard,continuing our shift from a mobile first to an AIfirst world.We are rethinking all of our core products and working hardto solve user problems by applying machine learningand AI.Let me give you an example.Recently, I visited Lagos in Nigeria.It is a city of twenty-one million people.It is an incredibly dynamic, vibrant, and ever growing city.Many people are coming online for the first time.So it's very exciting unless you happen to be in the Google Mapsteam and you have to map this city.And it is so - it is changing so fast and normally we map a placeby using Street View and doing a lot of stuff automatically butit's difficult to do that in a place like Lagos because thecity is changing.You can't always see the signage clearly and there are variableaddress conventions.Things aren't sequential.So for example, take that house there.If you squint hard, you can see the street number there.It is number three to the left of the gate.That was relatively easy.Onto a harder problem now.That house, that is what we see from Street View.I think as humans, it's probably pretty hard.Maybe one or two of you can spot it out.But our computer vision systems, thanks to machine learning, canpick it out, identify the street number, and startmapping, mapping the house.So we approach Lagos completely differently.We deployed machine learning from the ground up and just infive months, the team was able to map five thousand kilometersof new roads, fifty thousand new addresses, and a hundredthousand businesses.It's something which makes a real difference for millions ofusers there as Google Maps is popular.And we think this approach is broadly applicable.Let's come closer to home in parking in San Francisco.I don't even try it anymore but for those of you who try it, weagain use machine learning.We understand location data.We try to understand patterns.Are cars circling around?And the color shows the density of parking and we can analyze itthroughout the day and predict parking difficulty and in GoogleMaps, give you options.A simple example but it's the kind of everyday use case forwhich we are using machine learning to make a difference.The best example I can think of, what we have talked before, isGoogle Translation.I literally remember many years ago adding translation in Chromeand making it automatic so that if you land on a page differentfrom your language, we do that for you.Fast forward to today.With the power of machine learning and our neural machinetranslation, we serve over two billion translations in many,many languages every single day.To me, it shows the power of staying at a problem, constantlyusing computer science to make it better, and seeing usersrespond to it at scale.This is why we are excited about the shift from a mobile first toan AI first world.It is not just about applying machine learning in our productsbut it's radically rethinking how computing should work.At a higher level in an AI first world, I believe computersshould adapt to how people live their lives rather than peoplehaving to adapt to computers.And so we think about four core attributes as part ofthis experience.First, people should be able to interact with computing in anatural and seamless way.Mobile took us a step in this direction with multi-touch butincreasingly, it needs to be conversational, sensory.We need to be able to use our voice, gestures, and vision tomake the experience much more seamless.Second, it is going to be ambient.Computing is going to evolve beyond the phone, be there inmany screens around you when you need it, working for you.Third, we think it needs to be thoughtfully contextual.Mobile gave us limited context.You know, with identity, your location, we were able toimprove the experience significantly.In an AI first world, we can have a lot more context andapply it thoughtfully.For example, if you're into fitness and you land in a newcity, we can suggest running routes, maybe gyms nearby, andhealthy eating options.In my case being a vegetarian and having a weakness fordesserts, maybe suggest the right restaurants for me.Finally and probably the most important of all, computingneeds to learn and adapt constantly over time.It just doesn't work that way today.In mobile, you know, developers write software and constantlyship updates but you know, let me give a small example.I use Google Calendar all the time.On Sundays, I try to get a weekly view of how my week lookslike for once the work week starts, say on a Monday or aTuesday, I'm trying to get a view into what the next fewhours looks like.I have to constantly toggle back and forth.Google Calendar should automatically understand mycontext and show me the right view.It's a very simple example but software needs to fundamentallychange how it works.It needs to learn and adapt and that applies to important thingslike security and privacy as well.Today, a lot of us deal with security and privacy by puttingthe onus back on users.We give them many settings and toggles to improve those.But in an AI first world, we can learn and adapt and do itthoughtfully for our users.For example, if it is a notification for your doctor'sappointment, we need to treat it sensitively and differently thanjust telling you when you need to start driving to work.So we are really excited by the shift and that is why we arehere today.We have been working on software and hardware together becausethat is the best way to drive the shifts in computing forward.But we think we are at a unique moment in time where we canbring a combination of AI and software and hardware to bring adifferent perspective to solving problems for users.We are very confident about our approach here because we are atthe forefront of driving the shifts with AI.Three months ago at Google I/O, our Google AI teams announced anew approach called AutoML.AutoML is just our machines automatically generating machinelearning models.Today, these are handcrafted by machine learning scientists andliterally only a few thousands of scientists around the worldcan do this, design the number of layers, weight and connectthe neurons appropriately.It's very hard to do.We want to democratize this.We want to bring this to more people.We want to enable hundreds of thousands of developers to beable to do it.So we have been working on this technology called AutoML andjust in the past month for a standard task like imageclassification, understanding images, our AutoML models arenow not only more accurate than the best human generated models,but they are more resource efficient.So it is pretty amazing to see.We are now taking it a step further.Let me talk about another use case, object detection.When we say object detection, it's just a fancy name forcomputers trying to delineate and understand images, beingable to draw bounding boxes and distinguish between all of thevehicles there, scooters, mopeds, motorcycles, and evenpick out the bike in front.It has a lot of practical use cases.The Street View example for Lagos works based onobject detection.Google Lens, which you will hear about later, as well as ourphotography in Pixel, uses object detection.This is really hard to do.The best human generated models we have only have a 39% accuracybut our AutoML models as of the past couple of weeks havereached around 43% accuracy and they are constantlygetting better.So the rate at which we are seeing progress with AI isamazing which is why we are really excited about combiningit with our software and hardware to bring it togetherfor our users.Let me give you a concrete example.I was recently very inspired by this tweet from a journalist whowas attending the Little League World Series.As you can see, there are two Little Leaguers here, one fromDominican Republic and the other from South Dakota, and they aretalking to each other using Google Translate.It's a great example but I looked at it and I feel like wecould do a whole lot better.Computing needs to evolve where this happens in a more natural,seamless, and a conversational way.Later today you will get an early glimpse of how we can pushthis experience further by thinking about AI, software, andhardware together.I couldn't be more excited by the direction our hardware teamis taking in approaching their work here.So to give you a lot more insight let me welcome Rick ontothe stage. Thank you.>> RICK OSTERLOH: Hi everyone.I want to welcome everyone here today, Google fans, the media.In the front row we have some of our top sales reps from Verizonand other partners.It's great to have you all here.Yes. Welcome. Welcome.We've got a lot to show you today, including afew surprises.So I thought I would quickly set the scene and explain what we'vebeen working toward and just how it ties into the vision thatSundar outlined.A year ago, we stood on a slightly smaller stage andintroduced the world to Google Pixel, Home, and Wi-Fi,Chromecast Ultra, and Daydream View.This was the first generation of hardware made by Google.So much has happened since then and we have made tremendousprogress in our first year.For starters, our team is getting a lot bigger.We're bringing on two thousand very talented engineers for HTCalong with some important IP.It's an amazing team that has created a series of industryfirst innovations and by working more closely together, we'll beable to better integrate Google hardware and software.And our products have built up a lot of momentum going into oursecond year.Let's take a look.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.>> TY BURRELL: Okay Google.Play the Soundtrack to Spaghetti for Pepe.>> SPEAKER: Google set to hold a product event in San Francisco.There are a ton of new announcements.>> SPEAKER: Google is showing off new hardware.>> SPEAKER: Speaking German>> SPEAKER: It's called Google Home, the new way to make yourhome a little bit smarter.>> JIMMY KIMMEL: Google debuted a new virtual reality headset.>> SPEAKER: Get the Daydream View.>> SPEAKER: I actually feel like I'm there.>> SPEAKER: It's sick as hell; I can tell you that much.The Google Pixel.>> SPEAKER: Pixel is my new favorite camera.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google. Take a selfie.>> SPEAKER: Oh, that camera.The pictures that come out of this thing are incredible.>> SPEAKER: Google's new Chromecast Ultra.>> SPEAKER: Four stars and editor's choice.>> TY BURRELL: Okay Google.Show me a video of a kangaroo. What?>> SPEAKER: The camera is phenomenal.>> SPEAKER: The best ever in a smart phone.>> SPEAKER: Beautiful.>> SPEAKER: Tops in my book.There, I said it.>> SPEAKER: My mom now can save every picture, unlimited space.>> SPEAKER: Mama got a new toy.>> SPEAKER: It can recognize each voice.>> SPEAKER: Enter Google Assistant.>> SPEAKER: She's so smart.>> SPEAKER: She's just amazing.>> SPEAKER: Let me see what else my Google Assistant can do.>> SPEAKER: Hey Google. Call Carrie.>> SPEAKER: Speaking French>> SPEAKER: What is a dog?>> JIMMY KIMMEL: That's your question?What is a dog?>> CONAN O'BRIEN: I don't want to blow your mind with my hightech talk.>> SPEAKER: It is amazing what it can do.>> SPEAKER: I think we've got a winner.>> SPEAKER: It's top notch.>> SPEAKER: Yes, Google.>> SPEAKER: That is amazing.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.What's next?>> RICK OSTERLOH: We're still in the early days of our hardwareline but we're off to a great start.We're thrilled to announce that there are now fifty-five millionChromecast devices around the world.Google Wi-Fi is the number one selling mesh router since itslaunch in the US and Canada.And in the last twelve months alone, the Assistant has gottena lot smarter thanks to Google.We've added more than one hundred million new, uniquefeatured snippets from the web, video results from YouTube, andnew local places in Google Maps and a lot more.And Pixel had a great year.I just wish we had a few more of them to go around but usersatisfaction among Pixel owners is among the highest of anyGoogle product ever.Industry analysts and the media gave Pixel rave reviews too.Our performance scores led the industry and Pixel had the bestand top rated smartphone camera.We're really proud of how well the Pixel did for our firstgeneration smartphone in such a competitive space.You all know this better than anyone, but the playing fieldfor hardware components is leveling off and I don't envythose of you who have to write reviews for a bunch ofsmartphones with very similar specs.Megapixels in the camera, processor speed, modemthroughput, battery life, display quality, these corefeatures are table stakes now.Moore's Law and Dennard Scaling are ideas from the past.To be honest, it's going to be tougher and tougher for peopleto develop new, exciting products each year becausethat's no longer the time table for big leaps forward inhardware alone.And that's why we're taking a very different approachat Google.As I said last year, the next big innovation will happen atthe intersection of AI, software, and hardware.Smartphones might be reaching parity on their specs but as wejust heard from Sundar, we're seeing huge breakthroughs in thekinds of experiences we're able to deliver to users.And it all starts with reimagining hardware from theinside out.AI and machine learning have helped us to do this acrossour products.For one, Pixel completely revolutionized the end to endphoto experience for users and removes all of the hassles.Machine learning works throughout the experience tomake your Pixel photos more vibrant, to smooth out yourvideos, and to make all of those thousands of memories easy tofind on any of your devices.We did the same thing with home networks.Google Wi-Fi uses machine learning not only to keep yoursignal strong but to reduce Wi-Fi congestion.While you're moving throughout the house, your router isintelligently transitioning your devices to the best Wi-Fi pointand placing you on the right channel.When you're using the Assistant on Google Home, you'll notice itcan pick up your voice even in a noisy room.Our deep learning capabilities and neural beam forming helpGoogle Home locate the source of sound and hear you accurately sowe can do with just two microphones what others normallyneed six or eight to do.And this is what it means to design hardware from theinside out.It's this combination of AI, software, and hardware workingtogether that provides a helpful experience for our users.And that is where the big leaps forward are going to happen inthe next ten years.We're still in the early days for our hardware line but weknow what it takes to build great products in acrowded field.We weren't first with many of our most successful products,Gmail, Chrome, Android, and even search, but in each case, wesucceeded by doing what we're best at, reimagining theexperience to make it radically helpful for the user.And as you'll hear today, our next generation of devices isradically helpful too.They're fast, they're there when you need them, they're simple touse, and they anticipate your needs.Everything is designed for you to keep the tech in thebackground and out of your way.Interact with your devices naturally through your voice orby touching them.And by building hardware around our AI and software, we'recreating products that get even better over time.They are constantly getting faster and more helpful the moreyou interact with them thanks to machine learning.As a family, made by Google products represent the ultimateGoogle experience.Today we're going to show you how we're creating a family ofproducts that are there when you need them, at work, at school,and on the go.But we're going to start with the most important place,your home.So let's hear next from Rishi Chandra who leads our Home team.Over to you, Rishi.>> RISHI CHANDRA: Thank you, Rick.It's been a really exciting year for us.Google Home was the first product to bring the GoogleAssistant to the home and we've been constantly learning fromour users so that we can make the Assistant radically helpfulfor you.For example, as Rick mentioned, in the last year we answeredover one hundred million new questions.The best part is you don't have to talk like a computer or teachGoogle Home any new skills.It just works.Now we're really happy with the positive feedback thus far butwe know this is a journey.So we've been working hard to bring Google Home to more peopleand more countries.This year, we launched in five new countries and we're happy toannounce that we'll be launching in Japan laterthis week.Now bringing the Assistant to people all around the world isno easy task.We had to make sure we can understand people of differentage groups, genders, and accents.So we trained the Assistant at a scale that only Google couldwith over fifty million voice samples from hundreds ofdifferent ambient environments.We've been investing in voice search for over a decade whichis why we have the best voice recognition in the world.Now earlier this year, we had a major breakthrough with theability to recognize your voice.We call it Voice Match.With your permission, we build a model of your voice by lookingat dozens of different voice characteristics like vocalconstruct, pitch, and tone.This is a really big deal.Google Home is great for the whole family but it doesn't meanI want to get the same answer to every question.An Assistant can only be truly useful if it knows who you are.With Voice Match, we're the only assistant that can bringpersonal help to each individual member of your household.So when you ask a question, we match your voice and we respondwith your calendar, your commute, and yourpersonal reminders.Now Voice Match has already become one of the most popularfeatures on Google Home today.Over half of all queries are from people who have trained theAssistant to recognize their voice.And starting today, we're rolling out Voice Match to allseven countries Google Home will be available.Now another popular feature is hands-free calling.You can use your Google Home to call any landline or mobilenumber in the US or Canada for free without any additional appsor accessories.It just works.And I am happy to announce that we'll be bringing hands-freecalling to the UK later this year.And starting today, you can call out with your own personalmobile number so whoever you're calling will know it's you.You just need to verify your number through theGoogle Home App.And of course with Voice Match, we can recognize your voice tomake sure we call your contact with your personal number.Hands-free calling also has the intelligence of Google builtright in.Just say hey Google, call the bakery on 24th street.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Okay.Calling Noe Valley Bakery.>> RISHI CHANDRA: We do the hard work to figure out whichbusiness you want to call thanks to Google's deep expertise inlocal search.Making a call has never been easier.Now we have a lot of great news to share with you today so tokick things off, I would like to welcome Isabelle, lead designerfor Home hardware.>> ISABELLE OLSSON: Thank you, Rishi.I am thrilled to share with you how we think design isredefining technology in the home.You heard Rick mention earlier today that everything in ourhardware line is designed to fit into your life.The home is a special, intimate place, and people are veryselective about what they welcome into it.You don't want to fill it with black plastic, complicatedbuttons, and random blinking lights.Our vision is to build simple, helpful solutions that work inthe background, helping you when you need it and staying out ofthe way when you don't.So here is what that means to us.We design for the spaces our products live in and we takeinspiration from the materials and colors that people alreadyuse to make their home more warm and inviting.Second, when designing for real homes form and size reallymatters for creating something that actually fits into any roomor on any surface.And lastly, the way you interact with our products has to be sointuitive, you never even have to think about it, and so simplethat the entire household can use it.With that, we are introducing Mini, the newest member of theGoogle Home family.The first thing you might notice is the striking simplicity ofthe design.It is sleek and smooth with no corners or edges.And it is small enough to be placed in anywhere in your home.It makes Google Home more accessible to more people inmore rooms.And as you can see, almost the entire enclosure is made out offabric and it is not just about aesthetics, it's core to theproduct experience.That is why we created this material from scratch, rightdown to the yarn.It needed to be durable and soft but also transparent enough tolet through both light and sound.This perfect balance allows for all of Mini's technology to bethoughtfully tucked away underneath the clean,simple enclosure.So the four LED lights under the fabric are there when you needthem, lighting up to show you that it hears you orit's thinking.And you can control it by touch.Give the fabric a quick tap to pause your music, adjust thevolume, or talk to your Assistant.We thought a lot about how to get great sound with such asmall product too.We embraced Mini's circular shape to project three hundredand sixty degree sound so it is really crisp no matter where youstand in the room.You'll be surprised how amazing the quality is.And if you want bigger sound, you can easily connect mini toany Chromecast built-in speaker wirelessly.We created Mini in three beautiful colors, coral, chalk,and charcoal.Color really matters in the home.This is the place where we choose our drapes and carpetsand paint colors with so much care.We brought that same level of care for mini.For the chalk color alone, it took us one hundred andfifty-seven tries before we found the perfect shade of gray.So that is Google Home Mini with all of the power of theGoogle Assistant.You can make it your sous chef in the kitchen, your white noisemachine in the nursery, your voice remote for your TV in theliving room, or your alarm clock in the bedroom, or all ofthe above.Mini will retail for just forty-nine dollars in the US.And it is going to be available for preorder online startingtoday and in stores starting October 19th formajor retailers.We are also really happy to announce that Mini is coming toall seven Google Home countries.So with that, let's take a look at this ad that will launchlater this week.>> SPEAKER: What's this little thing?Well, it's Google Home Mini.You put it in your house and control it with your voice.Hey Google.Play my fun playlist.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Okay.Playing now.>> SPEAKER: It's also a remote control and an alarm clock and asous chef.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Let it cool for ten minutes.>> SPEAKER: It can play this on TV or that on the internet.It can tell you the weather or if your flight's delayed becauseof the weather.And it knows the difference between you ->> SPEAKER: Hi.>> SPEAKER: And your husband.>> SPEAKER: Hey.>> SPEAKER: So if you go, hey Google, call Alex, it won't callyour husband's friend Alex.It will call your friend Alex.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Calling Alex.>> SPEAKER: Hey. How are you?Okay. Got to go, girl.>> SPEAKER: Anyway.It's made by the same people who help you find stuff on theinternet so you know, no biggie.It's smaller than a donut and weighs less than a full-grownchipmunk without the nuts.It's powered by the Google Assistant so it has Google Maps,Google Calendar, it gets you to all of your music, lots of yourfavorite shows, all of YouTube, and lots and lots and lots ofother stuff you love.All for less than fifty bucks.Yeah. It's Google Home Mini.A little help at home like only Google can.>> RISHI CHANDRA: Thanks Isabelle.We can't wait for you to try out Mini.We also want to share how the Google Assistant continues toget better over time.From the start, we've been helping everyone - people - withtheir everyday routines.For example, one of my favorite features is My Day which givesme a personalized briefing of my important events of the day.And with Voice Match, each member of the house can gettheir own unique start to their morning routine.Well soon, we're going to be extending routines in twoimportant ways.First, we're adding more routines to help you with thoseeveryday moments like getting ready to leave for work, cominghome in the evening, or turning in for the night.Second, we're adding additional actions to the routines so nowwhen I say good morning, I not only get my personal briefingbut I also can turn on the lights, start the coffee maker,and even play my favorite morning playlist.This kind of help is exactly what I need to get myday started.Now another ritual for me in the morning is I'm always lookingfor my phone before heading to work.Well the Google Assistant can help there too.Just say hey Google, find my phone, and we'll automaticallyring your Android phone, even if it's on silent mode.And for iPhone users, we just give you a call.It saves me five or ten minutes every morning.Yes.Now we're also working to make the smart home work betterfor you.The Google Assistant can now voice control over a thousanddifferent smart home products from over one hundred brands.And even more importantly, we brought our deep expertise ofnatural language processing to make it easier to voice controlin a more conversational way.So for example if I want to change the temperature, Ishouldn't have to remember the current thermostat setting.I should just be able to say hey Google, make it warmer.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Okay. Warming up the living room.>> RISHI CHANDRA: Your Assistant knows what warmer means and willjust take care of it for you.Now voice control is just the start.We believe the next evolution of the smart home is to bring realintelligence to the home so it can behave in a more thoughtfulway. Your home should smartly adjust to you, not the otherway around.So Google and Nest are working together to reimaginethe smart home.To tell you more, I would like to welcome Yoky, CTO of Nest.>> YOKY MATSUOKA: Thank you, Rishi.At Nest, we like to talk about the thoughtful home, one thattakes care of the people inside it and the world around it.We recently took a big step forward in achieving that goalby doubling our portfolio by shipping six newhardware products.What I love about Nest's growing ecosystem is that we combine thebest in class hardware and machine learning to help makepeoples' lives easier.And your Nest experience reaches a whole new level when it iscombined with Google products.Let me show you three examples of how we can provide you witheven more help at home.With Nest Cam, Google Home, and Chromecast, we can help keep you- keep an eye on your home just with your voice.So if you hear some unexpected sound by the front door and I amin the back in the family room without my phone, I can just sayokay Google, show me the entryway.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Okay.Streaming the entryway.>> YOKY MATSUOKA: And then I realize it's not an intruder butmy pet pig, Cayenne, and she has found a leftover lunch in myson's backpack.Sadly this has happened more than once.And if I want to keep it for later for my kids, I can simplysay okay Google, save me this clip to show them why we don'tleave food in our backpacks.With our new video doorbell, Nest Hello, we can also start tosolve some of our common pain points through Google and Nestintegrated computer vision technologies.Of course, most of us want to know who is at the door beforewe get off the couch.Through a feature called familiar faces, Nest Hello willbe able to recognize the people that you asked it to remember.So when the doorbell rings and Nest Hello recognizes the personat the door, it will automatically broadcast thatinformation to Google Home devices in the house.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Auntie Suzy is at the front door.>> YOKY MATSUOKA: And you don't even have to ask.And if Nest Hello doesn't know who is at the door, you can justsay okay Google, show me who is at the front door and we willstream your camera feed right to your TV.This is another great example of what Google and Nest cando together.And this last one is my favorite.Your home can soon get ready for the night just with asimple command.As Rishi mentioned, you can personalize your routine toinclude actions for Nest products.So all I have to say is hey Google, goodnight.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Okay.Let's get ready for bed.I am armed your security system.Your first calendar event is tomorrow at 9:00 AM.Your alarm is set for 7:00 AM.Sleep well.>> YOKY MATSUOKA: In the background, my Assistant is alsoturning my security camera on, adjusting the thermostat, andturning off the lights.This really simplifies my life and gives me the peace of mindthat I cannot get any other way.Together, Nest and Google deliver an ecosystem of productsthat make your home more secure and energy efficient, moreconnected and entertaining, with the best homeassistant experience.Our close collaboration makes these products work seamlesslytogether and help us get one step closer to a trulythoughtful home.On that note, to tell you more about Google Assistant, let mewelcome Rishi back on stage.>> RISHI CHANDRA: Thank you, Yoky.You know, making a more thoughtful home is just one wayto help make our joyfully hectic family lives a little easier.You know, the Google Assistant already provides a lot of help,from using your voice to order more diapers, playing a lullabyin a nursery, checking the traffic for those piano lessons,or easily giving Grandma a call.Now if you're like me, it can be hard to gather the householdtogether for those family moments like dinner time ormovie night.Well to help, we're launching a new feature called Broadcast.It's really easy.Just say hey Google.Broadcast it's time to leave for school.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Got it.Broadcasting now.>> RISHI CHANDRA: The Assistant will broadcast a message to allof the other Google Home devices in my house.It's really great.Parents are going to love this feature.Kids - kids are going to hate this feature.But that's what makes it useful.Speaking of kids, we think Google Home has a lot ofpotential with - to help kids and families.Voice interaction is so simple and easy to use, kids arenaturally drawn to it.So we want to be thoughtful about what it would take todeliver a great kids experience.We conducted research with hundreds of parents and kidsfrom across the country from different backgrounds.So first, we're announcing support for Family Link accountson Google Home.These are Google accounts that parents can create for childrenunder thirteen.They can manage it within the Family Link app.And as we all know, kids have their own unique wayof speaking.Sometimes it can be a little hard to understand, even forus parents.Well fortunately, we have improved our voice recognitionaccuracy for kids so the Assistant can understandthem too.And finally, we're introducing over fifty new experiences withthe Google Assistant to help kids learn something new,explore new interests, imagine with storytime, or just sharelaughs with the whole family.So let me show you how my kids and their friends had some funthis weekend.>> SPEAKER: Let's go to the living room.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.Play musical chairs.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Ready to see who our musical chairchampion will be.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.Beat box for me.>> SPEAKER: Hey Google.Let's play freeze dance.>> MICKEY MOUSE: Hiya pal.It's me, Mickey Mouse.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.Play what kind of fruit are you.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.What sound does a seal make?>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: This is a seal.>> SPEAKER: Okay Google.Let's learn.>> SPEAKER: Hey Google.Let's play space trivia.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Which was the first planet to bediscovered using a telescope?>> SPEAKER: Uranus.>> SPEAKER: Uranus.>> SPEAKER: Hey Google.Can you tell me a story?>> SPEAKER: One day I was hanging out at home with my dad.>> SPEAKER: There lived a sweet tempered girl whose namewas Cinderella.>> RISHI CHANDRA: I can tell you; as a parent, it's great tosee the kids without their screens and sharingexperiences together.And it's easy to get started.Just say hey Google, let's learn, to play science quizzesor talk to an astronaut.Or try hey Google, let's play a game, to play musical chairs ortackle a riddle.And finally hey Google, tell me a story, to hear classics likeSnow White or original stories like the Chef whoLoved Potatoes.Now to bring this to life, we have partnered with Disney.We are bringing exclusive experiences to Google Homefeaturing Mickey Mouse, Lightning McQueen, andStar Wars.We are working with many other top brands in the family spaceincluding Warner Brothers and Sports Illustrated Kids.And starting today, we're opening up the Actions on Googleplatform for developers to create experiences specificallyfor families and kids.All of these new family features will be rolling out later thismonth across all Google Home devices.Okay. Finally, I have one more exciting addition to share thatis coming to the Google Home family.Say hello to Max, our biggest and best soundingGoogle Home ever.Just like the Pixel reimagined the camera, we will do the samewith sound.With a combination of great hardware and software powered byGoogle's machine learning capabilities.Now it starts with a strong foundation of great hardware.The first thing you'll notice is how we obsessed over the base.Its two 4.5 inch woofers have twenty-two millimeters ofexcursion and extremely high range for their size.That means these woofers can move a lot of air, allowing Maxto really hit those low frequencies.And Max can play loud, really loud.It's more than twenty times more powerful than Google Home so itwill fill any room in your house with amazing audio.Now great hardware alone isn't sufficient for great sound.The challenge of speakers today is that they are tuned for idealacoustic conditions, but they fall short in the real world.That's why it always sounds different in the store than inyour home.To sound great, the speaker needs to adjust to you andyour home.So today we're announcing Smart Sound, a new audio experiencepowered by Google's AI.It allows Max to adapt to you, your environment, your context,your preferences.So for example, if you setup a speaker near a wall, on a shelf,in a corner, fairly common places, it can dramaticallychange the sound balance of the speaker and make the music soundmuddy and the vocals lose clarity.Well with Smart Sound, we automatically tune the speakerto correct for this effect using our machine learning modeltrained with thousands of different room configurations.What's really cool, this is all done dynamically.So if you decide to move Max a few feet, it will compensatewithin seconds.And over time, Smart Sound will automatically adapt the sound tofit your context, lowering the volume in the morning, raisingthe volume when the dishwasher is running, or just adjustingthe tuning based on the type of media you're listening to,whether it be music, podcasts, or news.It's about delivering a consistent, crisp, thoughtfulsound experience, one that is tailored to your home andyour moments.Now great sound only matters if you can play a lot ofgreat content.With YouTube Music, you'll have access to the world's broadestcatalog of songs, remixes, and covers, and we also support allfree and paid Spotify users along with other topmusic services.Just use your voice to start playing your favorite tunes.Max also supports Cast, Bluetooth, and stereo AUX inputso you can play anything from your phone or plug in thatrecord player to breathe new life into that vinyl collection.And of course, Max has a Google Assistant built right in.We made - your Assistant can hear you even when the music isblasting using our unique microphone placement andGoogle's neural beam forming technology.And with Voice Match, the Assistant can become your ownpersonal DJ.We recognize your voice and we can play playlists and musicstations personalized to you.And Google Home Max was designed to be incredibly versatile andfit naturally into your home.You can stand it up vertically, place it horizontally, whatevermakes sense for your space.Its base magnetically pops into place so when you change Max'sorientation, there aren't any rubber feet where they don'tneed to be.We thought through every detail.And finally, Max works seamlessly with the Google Homefamily and hundreds of Chromecast built-in speakers.So you can use multi-room to sync every room in your housewith immersive sound.Google Home Max will be available starting December for$399 and it will come in two colors, chalk and charcoal.We will initially launch in the US, with more countries comingearly next year.And to make sure you have an amazing sound experience out ofthe box, we're providing a free twelve month subscription toYouTube Red which includes YouTube Music ad-free.We think you're going to really love the newest members of theGoogle Home family.Along with the updates to the Google Assistant, they representa big leap forward in the type of helpfulness, fun, and soundyou can expect from Google in the home.And to close, we gave Max to a music lover to get theirthoughts. Let's take a look.>> THOMAS WESLEY PENTZ: I'm a producer and a DJ so I am notclassically trained but I am obsessed with music.I listen to music all day long.I'm constantly being critical of my own music, of music thatI hear.Watch this.Hey Google.Play Particular by Major Lazer.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Sure.Particular by Major Lazer and DJ Maphorisa.Here it is on YouTube.>> THOMAS WESLEY PENTZ: Every room I have is setup to playmusic, bedrooms, the living room.Hey Google.Turn it up.Hey Google.Play the song that goes wrist looking like it been dipped,dipped in that, dipped in that, dipped in that.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Alright.Know No Better by Major Lazer.Here it is on YouTube.>> THOMAS WESLEY PENTZ: The speaker can find the peripheryof walls and where it is located in that room.To have that technology to understand where it is and toadjust appropriately is amazing.That sounds great.Oh, that's - this is dope.If people could actually hear what we're giving them from whenit leaves our studio, that would be amazing.That is what any producer or artist would love.Hey Google.Turn it all the way up.>> MATT VOKOUN: As you just saw, there is so much amazinginnovation happening in the Home space.And at the same time, our phones have evolved to become the mosttrusted devices in our lives.Have you ever wondered why the laptop experience has beenbasically the same for the past twenty years?So while the laptop experience hasn't changed all that much,how we use technology in our lives definitely has.We live online.We create and collaborate more than ever.We use tons of apps every day and we're constantly jumpingbetween our phone, tablet, and laptop to get things done andhave fun.Shouldn't we be able to do whatever we want on whateverdevice is in front of us?We think so.We have worked hard to combine the most helpful parts of alaptop, a tablet, and a smartphone to fit how we usetechnology today.Meet Google Pixelbook, the high performance Chromebook.Pixelbook reimagines the laptop experience by marrying the bestof premium performance hardware, the speed, simplicity, andsecurity of Chrome OS, the smarts of the Google Assistant,and all of your favorite apps.Pixelbook is the perfect example of how we combine the best ofhardware and software with AI at the center.We will start with the stunning versatile design.Pixelbook is the thinnest, lightest laptop we have evermade at just around ten millimeters thin and akilogram light.In fact, it is so light I find myself constantly checking mybag to make sure I haven't forgotten it.Pixelbook easily adapts with a four in one design, so it'sbuilt for the many ways you want to use it.When you're at your most productive, it's anincredible laptop.Fold the keyboard underneath and easily watch videos or play yourfavorite games.Use Pixelbook as a tablet to catch up on the latest news orread a book.It's the first convertible laptop that actually feelsnatural to use as a tablet.Prop it up into tent mode to share your screen or followalong with a recipe in the kitchen.Use it however you want because Pixelbook adapts to fit theoffice, the classroom, movie night, or even a long flight.Pixel phone fans will appreciate our signature glass inlay on thelid, giving it not only a refined look but improvedwireless performance.The 12.3 inch touchscreen display is gorgeously highresolution, with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and enoughbrightness to use outside even on a sunny day.We developed an extremely thin keyboard that is comfortable touse with soft touch keys and a backlit design that helps youwork from anywhere.And Pixelbook's track pad uses touch processing algorithms thatimprove accuracy and palm rejection.With Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, Pixelbook packsa punch.It offers plenty of RAM to handle your multitasking needsand gives you up to 512 gigs of storage.The long lasting battery provides up to ten hours of usefrom a single charge and plugging in for just fifteenminutes gives you two hours of battery life.You can even use your Pixelbook charger with your Pixel phone,giving you one less thing to carry around.And in moments when you don't have access to Wi-Fi, Pixelbookis smart enough to automatically connect through your Pixelphone.

After all, Google was built on a single question.What if all of the information in the world was available toeveryone, everywhere?A big question for us is what if smartphones got smarterand simpler?We set out to design a phone ourselves because we believed wecould make the smartphone experience better.The first Pixel phone delivered a clean and fast UI with theGoogle Assistant in your pocket and brought you the best cameraever in a smartphone.And we didn't stop asking big questions or working to solvebig challenges for users.Today, we're proud to introduce the Google Pixel 2, designed foryou with the best of Google built in.We've created the new Pixel in two sizes, a five inch and a sixinch XL with thoughtful design elements and improvements to theUI throughout.We're bringing you more Google Assistant capabilities.We've added new smart experiences to the camera.And we'll continue to deliver the best photography.Plus, we're introducing some innovative new products tocomplement your Pixel experience.We do all of this by bringing together the best of hardware,software, and AI.Let's begin with the design.We've evolved the Pixel's iconic look to be even bolder.The all-aluminum body, with a premium hybrid coating, gives ita sleek and clean profile.The soft sculpted back with the distinct side band feelscomfortable and secure in your hand.The refined visor is made of sturdy, gently curved coloredglass and transitions seamlessly into the metal body.We've placed a fingerprint sensor where your fingernaturally falls.It is extremely accurate, secure, and it unlocks fasterthan any other smartphone.We also added a small pop of color on the power button for abit of playfulness.Over on the front, Pixel 2's front facing stereo speakers areprecision tuned to deliver the perfect balance of volume,clarity, and frequency response.We placed them so you can comfortably watch videos inlandscape mode without muffling the audio with your hand.If you prefer headphones, use your existing analog headphoneswith the included adapter or your digital USB-C headphonesfor the highest resolution audio all the way to your ears.Or avoid cables altogether with your upgraded Bluetooth 5.0support and hi-fi codex.The smaller five inch Pixel 2 features a full HD OLED displayand it is as smart as it is beautiful.The display intelligently selects which specific pixels toturn on, leaving the others perfectly dark for a 100,000 toone contrast ratio.That is twice the resolution and more than ten times the contrastratio of phones in its category with LCD displays.Pixel 2 comes in three colors, kind of blue, just black, andclearly white.We love picking the color names.So let's talk about the display on the XL.The six inch Pixel 2 XL was designed with innovative POLEDdisplay technology.We elegantly curved the glass to bring the display to the edgesfor a full screen, immersive viewing experience.The screen supports eighteen by nine UHD plus resolution withover 4.1 million pixels which equals 538 pixels per inch foramazing detail.We tuned the display to take advantage of the wide colorgamut for vivid and realistic colors.We have integrated a circular polarizer which lets you enjoythe screen even while wearing sunglasses.And we've optimized the displays on both phones forvirtual reality. They are both Daydream ready.The Pixel 2 XL comes in two colors, just black and thestylishly simple black and white.Feel free to choose whichever size Pixel you prefer becauseyou'll get the same great experience on both.We don't set aside better features for the larger device.Both devices -Both devices are IP67 water and dust resistant and have anall-day battery that charges superfast.You get up to seven hours of charge in just fifteen minutes.Now Sabrina from the Pixel product team is going to take usthrough the new Pixel 2 UI and some cool and useful features.>> SABRINA ELLIS: Thanks, Mario.We're constantly working to make the smartphone experience easierand more helpful and you'll see improvements throughout thePixel 2's UI.That helpfulness starts before you even unlock the phone.Let me show you the Pixel 2's new always-on display.You can see important information like the time, date,email, and text notifications and reminders all withoutpushing any buttons or unlocking the device.And there is more than just notifications on youralways-on display.Have you ever heard a song you loved and wondered what itwas called?With Now Playing, you can just glance down to see the song nameand artist on your phone.What makes this feature so special is that the music isidentified without your Pixel 2 sending any informationto Google.On device machine learning detects when music is playingand matches it to a database of tens of thousands of songpatterns on your phone.In this example, you can see that Pixel recognized the songPerfect Places by Lorde.From here, I can tap on the song title and I am taken to theGoogle Assistant.I can add the song to my library on my favorite music servicelike Google Play Music or Spotify, search the web for thesong, or even watch the video on YouTube.This feature has brought me some delightful moments over the pastfew months and I am finally learning who sings myfavorite songs.Okay. So let's go to a live demo.Here we are on the new Pixel 2 home screen.You can see here, I've selected one of our live wallpapers.This is from our new collection called the Living Universe andif you look closely, you'll notice subtle movements like thewaves crashing on the beach.I love that.At the top of the screen, there is a space called at a glancewhere you can easily see the latest updates on your day.We're starting with calendar events today, with traffic,flight status, and more coming soon.In this case, I can see that I've got a mysterious meetingcoming up.Not sure what that's about.We've placed the Google Quick Search Box at the bottom of thehome screen where we found that it's easier to reach and we'remaking it even more powerful.It stays with you as you swipe across your screens of appsand widgets.A quick tap into the search box can help me find anything thatI need.As I start typing, I can see web search results at the top butalso contacts and apps from my phone.I can even drag an app from here and drop it right on myhome screen.We've also made it faster and easier to get to the GoogleAssistant on Pixel 2 with a new feature called Active Edge.Just give your Pixel a quick squeeze where your handnaturally holds the phone and ask for whatever you need.Here is a quick demo.I just squeeze the phone, take a selfie, one hand, no buttons.Help me out front row. Nice.Our research team investigated dozens of ways to trigger theAssistant but squeezing the phone felt the most natural,satisfying, and efficient.After a lot of work in machine learning, we're able toaccurately identify an intentional squeeze.We're really proud of how it turned out and it even workswhen your phone is in a case.So your Assistant is just a quick squeeze away, making lotsof common tasks on your phone fast and easy.From calling and texting friends to controlling your smart hometo enjoying your favorite music and videos.And having the same Assistant at home and on your phone means theexperience is connected across devices.For example, I can say to my phone okay Google, broadcast.Hey, I'm almost home with the pizza so get ready for dinner.And my voice message is shared with my family through theGoogle Home in our kitchen.The routines Rishi mentioned are coming to the phone as well andwe have also customized routines specifically for when you're onthe go.The one I use most is when I'm on my commute.I jump in my car, drop my phone in the cup holder, and say okayGoogle, let's go home.>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Sure.Let's go.Your commute home is currently twenty-seven minutes with heavytraffic if you take US 101 South.You have one unread text message.It's from Mom.It says we'll bring dessert to dinner tonight.Here is where you left off in Fresh Air.Have a safe drive.>> TERRY GROSS: I'm Terry Gross with Fresh Air.>> SABRINA ELLIS: Super useful.All from one quick command.I love how it resumes my podcast right - from right where Ileft off.My Assistant even adjusts the volume so I can hear clearly onthe road and automatically sends a message to my husband lettinghim know I'm on my way.Like all of the new routines that the Assistant will support,you can customize this one based on your preferences.So with a quick squeeze, useful routines on the go, and anAssistant that keeps getting smarter, Pixel continues to bethe most helpful phone around.Pixel 2 will launch with pure Android Oreo with features likenotification dots, picture in picture, and many more.If you already have a Pixel, you recently received the AndroidOreo update and we hope you're enjoying all ofthe improvements.As a Pixel user, you'll always be the first to get OS andsecurity updates without having to do anything.Your phone becomes faster, more capable, and more secure allthe time.Next up, Aparna is going to share some smart, helpful newways to use your Pixel 2.>> APARNA CHENNAPRAGADA: Have you ever asked yourself whatkind of puppy is that?Or I want pillows with that pattern.Our phones can help us in many ways but sometimes the questionswe have are difficult to describe in a search box.As you heard Sundar talk about, we believe that as computers canunderstand what you see, it unleashes a whole new kindof assistance.That is why we started working on Google Lens, a way to do morewith what you see.We are super excited to bring a preview of lens to Pixel phonesthis year so let's see it in action.Say you see this flier for piano lessons.As a guilty mom, I've done this.As you know, the email addresses on them are always so long.Like best music teacher SF 2001 at Gmail dot com.Now you can simply tap on the lens icon, grab the rightinformation, and fire off that email.This also works for phone numbers, websites,and addresses.Yeah, pretty neat.Here is another example.You are at your friend's place at a party.You see this nice print and you wonder who is the artist.Now you can just Lens it.You can also follow up with what else did he paint?You can use Lens to answer many more questions like is thismovie worth watching?It totally is.How good is this book from Zadie Smith?Tell me all about this album that my music hip friend Rishisent screenshots of.What was the temple from our trip five years ago?Look, across all of these examples, there are a lot ofthings happening under the hood that are all coming together soI am going to geek out for a moment and call out afew things.The computer vision systems.We have had some major breakthroughs in deep learningand now they go from pixels in the photo to things inthe scene.The power of Google Search helps us train these algorithms withmillions and millions of images across the entire web.The power of Google's knowledge graph with its billions of factsabout people, places, things, we put it all together and nowyou know.This Buddhist temple in Kyoto was built in the year 1236 AD.Who would have known?Now this has to work in the noisiest of conditions.You know, these photos can be taken at different angles,different times of the day, different weather conditions,out of focus pictures, shaky hands, you get the picture.To be clear, sometimes computers do trip up, especially whenthings kind of look similar like this.Let's take a moment.Is this a muffin or is this a Chihuahua?You tell me.It's early days for Lens but you know, this is a familiar journeyfor us.When Google started, our search index contained about 25 millionpages. Now it is in the trillions.When we started working on voice recognition, our algorithmscouldn't always catch what you were saying, especially with anaccent like mine.Now we have an accuracy rate of more than 95%.That is as good as humans.We are just getting started with helping you do more with whatyou see, be it a photo from five years ago or something right infront of you.In time, we want to bring Lens everywhere.We are super excited to bring a preview of Lens to Pixel usersfirst so you will start to see this icon appear in Googlephotos and soon, Google Assistant.We just talked about how the phone can help you understandthe world but it can also help you place things into the world.That's right.That is augmented reality.We see it as a powerful way to bring the physical and thedigital together.That is why we started working on ARCore, our augmented realitySDK for Android.And we see the developers are already using it to create someamazing experiences and I want to show you a few examples here.So let's take Houzz.They are bringing the showroom into your living room using AR.With League of Legends, you can watch one of the most populare-sport games on an AR map built by Grab Games.And with Lego, my favorite, you can build virtual models withcharacters that really come to life.All of the fun, no Lego pieces to step on.We at Google are also making some fun things and our teamshave been working hard to create this new experience.We call it AR Stickers.It is built right into the camera and it is exclusiveto Pixel.With AR Stickers, you can express yourself with playfulemojis like these fun food characters here.There are lots to choose from and more will be addedover time.Our partners are also making some fun stickers here and Iwant to show some of them to you right now.So let's start with the Netflix original, my favorite show,Stranger Things.I can't wait for season two.Ready to see it?Okay. Time to set the mood.Lights please.Okay. Here is Leah.Using the Pixel camera, we are looking at the AR Stickers.We are in the Stranger Things collection, yes?Okay. So let's pick a character.Let's pick Demogorgon.And place him right next to me.Wow. Okay.You need to have a cup of coffee, dude.Notice how the creature is not just sitting around where youput it, right?It's not a dead sticker.It's moving.It's reacting to what's around it.It is alive.We really paid attention to the motion, the physics,the lighting.We want to make it feel like it's actually here.Is it?Let's have some fun.This is a great photo or video by the way.Cheese. But let's have some fun here.Leah, can we drop Eleven into this?Alright. Okay.This is getting interesting.Now we have two characters in the scene and notice how theyare not just reacting to the environment around them.They are reacting to each other.They know each other's presence.That's a big reaction.These interactions make for really interesting moments here.Wow. That was fun.Thank you, Leah.Now you can be the director of all kinds of stories and sharethese with your friends.You will have more AR Stickers to play with, your favoritecharacters from SNL, YouTube, the NBA, and just in time forEpisode VIII, Star Wars.And playing with these stickers is so easy to use and they lookgreat and this is because the Pixel camera is speciallycalibrated for augmented reality.It allows robust tracking even in low light conditions.It also supports sixty frames per second rendering ofAR content.You saw how the camera can help us do more with what we see withGoogle Lens.You saw how the camera can bridge the physical and digitalwith AR.But the Pixel camera also takes awesome photos.So to tell you all about it, we'll have Mario back on stage.>> MARIO QUEIROZ: Thanks Aparna.We hear every day from users of the first Pixel phone that thecamera is one of their favorite features.You can see why in the amazing photos that people post with theTeam Pixel hashtag.Last year Pixel received a DxO score of eighty-nine.That was the highest rating that DxOMark had ever issued to asmart phone.With Pixel 2, we have reimagined smartphone photography throughgreat hardware and unparalleled imaging software, tuned by ourengineers and researchers.Today we're proud to announce that DxOMark has issued Pixel 2an unprecedented score of ninety-eight.That is the highest score of any smartphone camera.Let's talk about how we achieved that and it starts withgreat hardware.The Pixel 2 has a 12 megapixel F1.8 aperture rear camera withoptical image stabilization.We have integrated these components with our HDR pluscomputational photography.For every photo, we take a burst of shots with short exposuretimes to avoid blowing out the highlights.We then align and combine each pixel algorithmically foroptimal color and contrast.All of this happens instantly with zero shutter lag.The results are stunning, with high dynamic range even inchallenging low light conditions.This year, we've increased the dynamic range and improvedtexture and sharpness and combined with a new auto focusmechanism and optical image stabilization to reduce blurfrom shaky hands, you get amazing shots every time likethis and this.Pixel 2 also brings you portrait mode but we're implementing it alittle bit differently.We're applying Google's unmatched computationalphotography and machine learning.Portrait mode lets you take professional looking shots witha blurred background to make the foreground pop like what youmight capture with an SLR camera.Other smartphones do this by combining the images fromtwo cameras.Pixel 2 does portrait mode with just one camera andmachine learning.What is unique about Pixel 2 is that it can generate a truedepth map with a single lens so you get beautiful portrait shotswithout needing a second camera.The way this works is that the Pixel 2 camera includes a dualpixel sensor technology.This means that each pixel in an image contains a right and aleft view.The difference in perspective from those pixels combined withmachine learning models trained on almost a million photos meansthat this works on really hard cases like a busy,colorful background.And yes, this does work with objects too.And there is more.Portrait mode doesn't just work on the main camera.Because of the quality of Google's computationalphotography with a single camera, you can also takeportrait selfies through the front camera on both the Pixel 2and the Pixel 2 XL.The Pixel 2 takes amazing videos too.We're applying optical image stabilization simultaneouslywith video stabilization at the same time.Other smart phones do optical or digital.We do - but don't do both at the same time.During video recording on a Pixel 2, the OIS hardwareactively corrects shake artifacts while at the sametime, the software based video stabilization uses intelligentframe look ahead to stabilize the overall video.We call this fused video stabilization and it is anotherexample of Google's hardware plus software plus AI workingtogether. The result is less motion blur even in low light.Your videos look smooth and professional.The Pixel 2 camera also supports a feature called motion photos.The photos you take with your - for the photos you take, yourPixel captures up to three seconds of video behind thescenes, removing uninteresting motion and applying our uniquefused video stabilization technology to the result.But of course, the proof is in the photos and videos.So we invited some photographers and producers to test drive thenew camera and they were stunned by what they can do with thePixel 2.Timmy McGurr, better known as 13th Witness on Instagram, andfilmmaker Zack McTee documented a recent trip to New Orleansusing just the Pixel 2.The film you are about to see uses no attachments, fancy rigs,or lighting.All of the video footage and stills were captured on Pixel 2phones without any image enhancements orcolor corrections.Again, each photo and video in what you just saw was shot usingonly Pixel 2 phones, no image enhancements orcolor corrections.Now the Pixel 2's camera is simple enough and smart enoughthat your photos and videos can look just as good.So the Pixel 2's photo experience doesn't end when youtake a photo or shoot a video.We want users to be able to easily find them and store themsecurely without having to worry about running out of storage.After all, simple storage and search is part of what makesus Google.So we're happy to announce that Pixel 2 users will continue toget free, unlimited storage for all of the photos and videosthey capture in the highest resolution, including 4K videosand motion photos.This is a big deal.This is a big deal.Pixel users take twice as many photos as typical iPhone usersand store an average of 23 gigabytes of photos and videosper year in Google's Cloud.If you had to use iCloud, you'd reach your free limit in lessthan three months.With Pixel, you can safely and effortlessly store all of yourmemories for free.With your permission, Google Photos automatically tags andcategorizes those thousands of photos and videos it will takewith your Pixel 2.You can search for photos of your friends, of a specificlocation, of dogs, all without the hassle of manually taggingor sorting.Finding your photo - the photo you're looking for is ourproblem and not yours.We're delighted by what we have been able to achieve with Pixel2 in terms of photography and are so excited by all of themoments that you are going to capture.So to recap, the smart and simple Pixel 2 has everythingyou'd expect from a smartphone and some things you might not.A gorgeous display that brings your apps, photos, and videosto life.An all-day battery that charges superfast, plus water resistanceand security features to keep your phone and your data safe.Easy, quick access to the Google Assistant which understands youand gets smarter and more helpful all the time.Fun and useful ways to use your camera like Google Lens and AR.And the best photography from any phone for brilliant photosand smooth, professional videos.We're also making it easier than ever to switch to Pixel.Most new Pixel users will be able to transfer their stufffrom their old phone in less than ten

application of Google Translate powered bymachine learning that is like having a personal translator byyour side.To show you how easy this experience is, I would like toinvite Isabelle back on stage for a conversation in her nativelanguage, Swedish.So Isabelle is going to speak Swedish into her Pixel Buds andI'll hear the English translation out of Pixel 2'sfront speakers.And then I'll respond in English and she'll hear the Swedishtranslation in her Pixel Buds.To illustrate this today, you'll hear both sides ofthe conversation.Hey, Isabelle.How's it going?>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Speaking Swedish>> ISABELLE OLSSON: Speaking Swedish>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Absolutely okay.Thank you.>> JUSTON PAYNE: What do you think of these coolnew headphones?>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Speaking Swedish>> ISABELLE OLSSON: Speaking Swedish>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT: My team designed them so I think they'repretty cool.>> JUSTON PAYNE: Alright.So while you're up here, what color should I get?>> GOOGLE ASSISTANT:

tohave a natural conversation in forty languages.We're letting you connect with the world around you in a morenatural way by rethinking how headphones should work,connecting it to Cloud-based machine learning, and giving youaccess with the touch of a finger.Google Pixel Buds come in a pocket-sized charging case thatprovide up to five hours of listening time with justone charge.And the case holds multiple charges so you get up totwenty-four hours of listening time when you're on the go.Pixel Buds are available in clearly white, kind of blue, andjust black to beautifully complement your Pixel 2.And they will be available in November for $159 and preordersbegin today.We have one more product to show you.It's about photography.Now we all love photos.A lot of our photos let us step back into a moment with friends,with family.Some of our favorites are the candid ones like this, thatcapture the essence of a moment.But the problem is to get those photos, someone needs to be thephotographer on duty waiting to press the shutter button at justthe right moment.And we were thinking, how do you capture those fleeting,spontaneous moments while letting yourself be part ofthe moment?So we've been working on that.And I am really excited to share an entirely new type of camerathat works with your Pixel.We call it Google Clips.And this first edition is specifically designed withparents and pet owners in mind.So you'll capture more of those spontaneous smiles, first steps,and first tricks.Now clips has all of the things you would expect from a greatcamera, a high performance lens, a powerful image sensor.It has a shutter button.But that's not what this camera is all about.We reimagined this camera from the inside out, starting withthe software and applying machine learning to build acamera that takes photos for you so you can enjoy the moment andinstantly get shots you couldn't get before.Thank you.How does all of that work?It starts with an AI engine at the core of the camera.Let's talk about what that engine does.When you're behind a camera, you look for people you care about.You look for smiles.You look for that moment your dog starts chasing her tail.Clips does all of that for you.Turn it on and it captures the moment so you can be inthe moment.And because the software is at the core of the camera, it'sgoing to get smarter over time.We also reimagine what camera hardware should do for you.Clips is tiny.It weighs almost nothing so you can easily toss it intoyour pocket.And it's a hands-free camera so you can get these amazing newperspectives on your experience and get yourself in the shot byattaching clips to almost anything or setting it down.Now from the beginning, we knew privacy and control reallymatter and we've been thoughtful about this for Clips users,their family, and their friends.Let's start with the basics.It looks like a camera and it has an indicator light soeveryone knows what the device does.Next, it looks for stable, clear shots of people you know and youhelp the camera learn who is important to you.And finally, all of the machine learning happens on the deviceitself so just like any point and shoot, nothing leaves yourdevice until you decide to save and share it.This approach to designing and engineering Clips required somesignificant technical breakthroughs to miniaturize thetype of powerful machine learning that only a few yearsago needed a super computer.Let's take a look at what Clips actually captures.So here are some Clips I've captured with my family at home.Now as you can see, it's not just photos that Clipsis taking.It's taking little snippets that capture the whole moment.We call those, of course, Clips.You can save them as a motion photo or choose any frame tosave as a high resolution still.It's like having my own photographer shooting andchoosing the best moments for me.And I just have to swipe to save to Google Photos which canautomatically make movies out of your clips in seconds.So that's the new Google Clips, a new type of camera that bringstogether the best of Google AI, software, and hardware to helppeople more easily capture genuine, candid moments offamily, friends, and pets.Clips will be coming soon and selling for $249.Take a look at some of these great Clips from our earliestusers.
