• Google may be working on a new AI project called “Project Ellmann.”
• Project Ellmann would use a person’s phone data to provide a “bird’s-eye view” of that person’s life.
• Project Ellmann would reportedly be able to describe a user’s photos more deeply by using biographies, previous moments, and subsequent photos as context.

Last week, Google launched its next-gen large language model (LLM) known as Gemini. A new report claims that one of the ways Google may use Gemini is to power a new AI feature that can “answer previously impossible questions” about your life by using phone data like photos and searches.

According to a report from CNBC, Google is working on an AI experience called “Project Ellmann.” Named after biographer Richard David Ellmann, Project Ellmann would use LLMs to gain awareness of what’s going on in a photo. Google reportedly wants Project Ellmann to become “Your Life Story Teller.”
