Google Launches Dreambeans AI App in India to Create Personalised Daily Stories

Google has introduced its experimental Dreambeans AI app in India, making the country the first market outside the US to receive access to the new experience. The app uses information from users' online activities to create personalised stories, suggestions and illustrations based on their interests, plans and everyday lives.

Dreambeans is available on both Android and iOS. It supports English and 13 Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Assamese and Nepali.

The Dreambeans app connects with several Google services, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, Search, YouTube and Gemini, depending on the permissions granted by users. It uses information from these connected services to generate personalised daily stories and recommendations without requiring users to enter prompts manually. For example, the app might suggest places to visit based on upcoming plans, offer creative ideas inspired by users' interests or highlight local events they may want to explore.

Users can tap on these stories to discover more information, save interesting suggestions or share them with others. The idea is to turn information already available across Google services into personalised content that users can explore more easily.

Google has also integrated support for its Veo AI video-generation model. This allows selected illustrations created for Dreambeans stories to be transformed into short videos, making the experience more interactive.

Users can also provide feedback to improve their recommendations and tell the app which topics or types of content they would prefer not to see. These features are intended to make Dreambeans feel more like a personalised discovery experience rather than a conventional content feed.

Users can download Google Dreambeans from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. After installing the app, they need to sign in using a personal Google account. The app currently supports personal Gmail accounts. Once signed in, users can choose which Google services they want to connect and select their preferred language. Dreambeans will then use information from the approved services to create personalised daily stories and suggestions.

Since Dreambeans uses information from multiple Google services, privacy and data control are important parts of the experience. Google says the stories generated by Dreambeans are private and can only be viewed by the account holder. Users can also decide which services the app can access, disconnect linked accounts or delete their Dreambeans data. This gives users control over how much personal information they want to share with the app and which connected services can contribute to its recommendations.

With its launch in India and support for multiple Indian languages, Google Dreambeans aims to offer a new way to discover personalised content without spending hours scrolling through online feeds.
