Google adds AI text simplification to iOS app
Simplify aims to improve understanding and retention of difficult topics.
Google has launched a new ‘Simplify’ feature for its iOS app that uses AI to clarify complex or technical text. By selecting any text on a web page and tapping the Simplify icon, users receive an easier-to-understand version without leaving the page.
The tool uses AI, Google’s Gemini model and a prompt refinement method to retain key details while improving readability.
The feature aims to help users better understand difficult topics and maintain engagement within Google’s ecosystem.
Google says testing showed that users retained more information when using the simplified text. Google highlights the importance of accuracy, stressing that Simplify rewrites must preserve the original meaning without introducing errors.
