Google brings its AI daily-story app Dreambeans to India, its first market outside the U.S.
The experimental Google Labs app builds illustrated story collections from a user's own Gmail, Calendar, Photos and YouTube, now in 14 languages.
Google is expanding Dreambeans, an experimental AI app that turns a person's own data into a daily set of short illustrated stories, to India, the company said Monday. It is the app's first country outside the United States, according to TechCrunch.
Dreambeans comes from Google Labs, the company's test bed for early products. With permission, it reads information from Google apps the user picks, including Gmail, Calendar, Photos, Search, YouTube and the Gemini chatbot. It then makes stories about things like places to explore, crafts or upcoming local events. Users can open a story to learn more, bookmark it or share it. Google pitches the app as a way to see what matters "without the endless scroll" of a social media feed.
In India, the app works on Android and iPhones for people 18 and older in 14 languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu, Google said.
Background
TechCrunch reported that Google first showed Dreambeans in June, opened it to all eligible U.S. users in September, and can animate stories with Veo, its video-making AI. Like other AI tools, it can get facts wrong, the outlet noted.
For U.S. users, the app is a test of how much personal data people will hand an AI in return for a custom feed.
