Google's new AI feature for Chromebook, BlueBuddy, could do the impossible 
and fix Bluetooth issues.

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

Google has already been leading the pack in AI features , introducing its 
slew of Help me tools, such as History Search, Tab Organizer, Tab Compare, 
and more. It also added these features, plus Gemini AI and AI-generated 
wallpapers, to its Chromebook Plus line, showing the tech giants willingness 
to enhance its laptops. 

It seems that Google is launching another new AI feature for Chromebooks 
ChromeOS called BlueBuddy, an AI assistant designed to understand and 
troubleshoot connectivity issues involving Bluetooth devices. According to 
WindowsReport , hints of this new AI assistant can be found in commit 
messages and will prompt users to Enter an Issue and I will recommend a fix. 

The new page may be called Troubleshoot with AI and includes other options 
like Adapters, Devices, and Debug logs. As of now, its unclear whether this 
AI feature will be for all Chromebooks or just the Chromebook Plus line, 
though well most likely find out soon. Google is doing AI right 

Google has a wide range of AI tools and features that are tailor-made for its 
products, with Help Me Hands-Free being one of the best applications for AI . 
Its an accessibility tool that helps users navigate ChromeOS without using 
the keyboard (i.e., voice commands, gestures, facial features, etc.). 

However, its neither the only nor the best part of how Google is handling AI 
compared to other competitors. One is the pricing of Chromebooks, which 
remains under $1,000 for even the most luxurious models and, therefore, keeps 
AI affordable for most people. Then theres the fact that Google is attempting 
to mitigate the massive resource cost of AI features by allowing both local 
and cloud storage when using said features. 

On the topic of waste, theres the fact that Googles ChromeOS updates are 
simple, fast, and dont have minimal requirements that would result in an 
unmitigated ecological disaster like what will most likely happen when 
Windows 10 users are forced to adapt to Windows 11 and subsequentially must 
abandon their old machines that still function. 

Google may not have all the solutions now, but as a corporate entity, its 
doing a perfectly good job of striving for a better AI future. You might also
