AI breakfast beans
Google Labs has launched Dreambeans, a new AI app for iOS and Android that turns a user’s Google data into personalised daily ideas.
The app connects to Google services like Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search History, with the user’s permission.
It then creates a small set of AI-illustrated “stories” each day.
These can include places to visit, topics to explore, things to try, upcoming events, travel ideas, or news based on the user’s interests.
The app is designed to avoid endless scrolling. Instead of a constant feed, Dreambeans gives users around 10 to 14 stories a day.
The aim is to offer useful inspiration, then encourage people to get on with their day.
The main points:
Dreambeans uses Google data to create personalised daily ideas.
It limits stories to avoid endless scrolling.
Users can choose what to connect and delete their data.
Morning algorithm soup
Google says users can choose which services to connect, delete their data, and keep their stories private.
The name comes from the idea that the app works while users sleep, then serves up a fresh “brew” of ideas in the morning.
Dreambeans is currently available to eligible Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US on Android and iOS. A waitlist is also open for users with a personal Google account.
