The big idea
ChatGPT, Gemini, and others can now use your camera in real time. Show AI a math problem, a plant, a code error — get an answer based on what AI 'sees.'
Some examples
- Point camera at a math problem: AI walks through the solution.
- Point at a plant: AI identifies it.
- Point at a recipe in a foreign language: AI translates.
- Point at a code error on your screen: AI explains it.
Try it!
Try AI's camera mode on something curious. Like a sign in another language, a plant, or a math problem. See how it does.
