Google's Magic Pointer turns your cursor into an AI assistant, and you can test it now
SMRTR summary
Google's latest Android Show unveiled something genuinely strange and kind of wonderful: a cursor powered by artificial intelligence. The new "Magic Pointer," designed for Google's upcoming Googlebook laptops, doesn't just point. It understands. Hover over a date, and it offers to schedule a meeting. Point at a photo of a building, and it tells you where that building is.
The idea is to move beyond typing long prompts into an AI chatbox, letting context do the heavy lifting instead.
The Googlebook itself blends Chrome OS and Android into one machine, with Gemini baked in at every level. Devices from Acer, ASUS, Dell and others are expected this fall.
But curious users don't have to wait. Google has made two Magic Pointer demos available now through AI Studio, letting people experiment with pointing and speaking before the hardware even ships.
