FULL STORY
======================================================================

As expected, Apple went big on AI at WWDC 2024 , announcing a wealth of new 
AI tools and features that are coming to its devices. Among those upcoming 
features is Genmoji, an AI-powered emoji creator, and it looks like the 
Google Pixel 9 might launch with a similar feature. 

 Android Authority has been digging around in the latest Android 15 beta and 
has found evidence of a feature called Creative Assistant, which could use AI 
to generate stickers, which you could then paste onto a screenshot or an 
image youre editing. 

You may also be able to simply paste a sticker into a chat, but theres no 
evidence of that here  rather, Creative Assistant in its current form seems 
to rely on Googles Markup app, which handles screenshot editing and image 
annotations. It's unclear whether the Pixel 8 will get Creative Assistant

the Pixel 9 

In any case, it appears Creative Assistant will be exclusive to Pixel devices 
based on the code strings Android Authority has found, and the site theorizes 
that it might in fact be exclusive to the Pixel 9 line, since this seems like 
the sort of feature that Google might reserve for a new handset launch. But 
its still possible that, either at launch or later, it could come to other 
Pixel models. 

Another thing the site is unsure of is whether Creative Assistant will use 
on-device processing to generate its stickers, or whether the feature will 
rely on the cloud. If the former, then it might actually require the more 
powerful Tensor G4 chipset were expecting in the Pixel 9 series. 

Note also that while Google appears to be working on this Creative Assistant 
feature, its always possible that it wont make the cut. 

We might find out more in or around October, as thats when we expect the 
Google Pixel 9 to launch  hopefully alongside this AI sticker creation tool.
