Waze introduces Conversational Reporting

It'll be much easier to report incidents while using Waze. The app launches a beta version of Conversational Reporting, which allows you to speak naturally when reporting hazards you see on the road. All you need to do is tap the reporting button and speak as if you're talking to a friend. Gemini allows Waze to understand what you're saying and add the real-time report for you. It will ask follow-up questions when needed. Waze can then categorize the report for you.

Beta testers get access to this feature in English on both Android and iOS devices. Google plans to expand the feature to more users and languages in the coming months.

One of the newest things coming to Google Maps takes advantage of its artificial intelligence features. When you're planning a trip or a night out, Gemini on Maps can help you decide. According to the company, you just need to ask Maps to get curated ideas that Gemini put together. It can show summarized reviews for the place or you can ask Maps more questions about a specific place and it promises to show "relevant answers in a snap."

The feature is rolling out in the US first for Android and iOS users. However, Google plans to bring a similar experience to Search in the coming months.
