AI Quick Tips 280: Attach images from Google Photos to your Gemini prompts

I think that Google is just waiting for the other companies to call them out.  Every time someone does it (cough OpenAI cough), Google just releases more features.

Now you can use whatever you have in Google Photos as context for your Gemini prompts.

Prefer video? Watch Here:

Here’s the process

1. Go to gemini.google.com
2. Click on the plus (+) in the bottom left corner of the prompt area
   
3. Select Photos from the list
   
4. This will open a window that connects to your Google Photos content (photos and albums)
   
5. Select the photo(s) that you want and click on Insert
   
6. The selected photo(s) will now be attached to your prompt
   

Now you can prompt normally.  

Honestly, I don’t think that this is solving a massive problem.  If you wanted a photo from Google Photos, you could download it and attach it.  

This is more of a convenience and/or time-saving move for people.  Sometimes it’s the little things that end up winning it for them in the end though.

Your move OpenAI…
