If you’re into sketching and creating doodles but find it difficult using a mouse on your PC, Google may just have come to your rescue. Luckily, Google has released an artificial intelligence based bot called ‘AutoDraw’ that turns not so proficient doodles into meaningful sketches. It is available to play with right away on its website and will be accessible via smartphone, tablet, and PC.
The new innovation from Google is based on learnings from its Quick, Draw! mini-game that used neural networks to recognize doodles.
With the help of neural networks and machine learning, Google AutoDraw analyses your drawing and suggests different objects and sketches based on it from its database.
How does it work?
AutoDraw provides a white canvas where you can scribble and just above the canvas is a bar showing possible matches to your drawing. You can also choose to draw whatever you want without any suggestions from Google, along with text box, shape, and fill colour options. Doodles, as well as individual shapes and lines, can be resized as well.
If you like the Google AutoDraw result, you can download it on your device and share on social on social networks as well.
Google’s AutoDraw also allows artists to submit their drawings to be featured as suggestions, which currently show up with a yellow star alongside. You will also be able to request objects that show up as suggestions.
