  • Google has launched a new “Simplify” feature in its iOS app, powered by Gemini AI.
  • This tool helps users understand complex topics by summarizing highlighted text.
  • It maintains accuracy while simplifying medical, scientific, and other difficult concepts, ensuring no details are lost.

Seeing the sad state of affairs going on with Apple Intelligence, Google is taking a step to lend a hand to iOS users. The company is rolling out a new AI-powered feature for their app called “Simplify,” which can break down and summarize difficult-to-understand topics with the help of Gemini.

The new “Simplify” feature on Google’s iOS app will make it easier to understand complex terminology and paragraphs. You just highlight the portion of the text you need help with, and pick the “Simplify” option from below. In seconds, Gemini will present a simpler version of it. It also explains complex medical, scientific, and abstract nomenclature.

Google explained in their blog post that “Simplify” uses two Gemini bots to make this feature work. One that goes through the portion of the text, and gives it a readability score and fidelity assessment. The second bot collects that data to “map claims from the original text to the simplified version” and ensure no details are lost. They both go back and forth and spew out a simplified version for us to read.
