The Pixel 9 could let you create your own stickers with generative AI

[phillynews215]

• Google is working on a new app called Creative Assistant that could use generative AI to create custom stickers, among other things.
• This app could integrate with Googles Markup to paste custom stickers onto images.
• Evidence for this app was spotted in Android 15 Beta 3, but the app itself isnt available yet.

Generative AI is all the rage right now in Silicon Valley, and despite the many issues weve seen, its being deployed in basically every app and service we use today. Even Apple hopped on the bandwagon, announcing features like Genmoji, which uses generative AI to create custom emojis in iOS 18. Not to be outdone by Apple, Google is working on its own feature that uses generative AI to create custom stickers and possibly emojis as well. The feature might be called Creative Assistant, and it could debut on the upcoming Google Pixel 9 series later this year.

Although the Pixel 9 series wont debut until October, many details of the four devices in the lineup have already leaked. Weve seen live photos and renders of the devices as well as the wallpapers that Google made for them. What we havent seen much of, though, is information on the new software that Google will introduce on the Pixel 9 series. Apart from the rumors of the devices new AI assistant named Pixie and an Adaptive Touch feature, we dont know for sure what other intelligent features Google will debut on the Pixel 9 series. That includes Creative Assistant, which were only assuming will debut on the Pixel 9 series, given that its the kind of feature that Google would generally reserve for a new device launch.
