Google : We’re expanding access to Google AI Ultra subscribers globally and introducing a new capability powered by Street View.

Genie is our general-purpose world model capable of generating diverse, interactive environments. Since launching, Genie has become a foundational tool for research, enabling agents to learn and reason in complex virtual settings and even helping Waymo simulate hyper-realistic road environments.

Now, we’re taking a leap forward by connecting Genie’s generative power with the real-world imagery of Google Street View, allowing our models to anchor themselves in reality. This expansion of Genie’s capabilities can provide a virtual environment for AI agents or robots to navigate and interact with the complexities of the real world.

Today, we’re launching this new Street View grounding capability within Project Genie, our experimental prototype. With this upgrade, you’ll be able to leverage real-world imagery to explore your favorite spots, or reimagine them with a creative twist. We’re also expanding access to Project Genie to more people around the globe.
