Google's app for iPhones has a new feature called "Simplify." It uses AI to make hard words and ideas on websites easier to understand. You don't have to leave the website to use it.

Simplify helps make text easier to understand. It uses a special method from Google Research and Gemini. It keeps the important information. Google found that people understood and remembered the text better after it was made simple.

Google wants people to use its Simplify tool to understand hard topics, so they don't use other tools like ChatGPT.

To use Simplify, choose any words on a website you are looking at in the Google app. Then, press the "Simplify" button you see. This will show you the words in a simpler way, so it is easier to understand and keep reading.

Google's research blog shows an example of how this feature could look.

This difficult problem hurts the lung tissue in two ways. One way is from emphysema, which damages the air sacs. The other way is from fibrosis, which is scarring of the lung tissue. The body’s defence cells in the lungs change, and the body makes more things that control the defence system. The blood pipes in the lungs also change a lot.

Google says the idea is to help people understand difficult subjects they find when learning online.

Google said, "We want our models to explain difficult ideas correctly. The new writing should help people understand hard things without changing the real meaning of the first information."

Simplify will be available for iPhone users starting this week.
