Google takes on GPT-4o with Project Astra, an AI agent that understands dynamics of the world - Shubham Sharma, Venture Beat

Today, at its annual I/O developer conference in Mountain View, Google made a ton of announcements focused on AI, including Project Astra – an effort to build a universal AI agent of the future. An early version was demoed at the conference, however, the idea is to build a multimodal AI assistant that sits as a helper, sees and understands the dynamics of the world and responds in real time to help with routine tasks/questions. The premise is similar to what OpenAI showcased yesterday with GPT-4o-powered ChatGPT. That said, as GPT-4o begins to roll out over the coming weeks for ChatGPT Plus subscribers, Google appears to be moving a tad slower.
