Ring beats Google Nest in launching AI-powered natural language search for video events

Amazon's Ring has announced AI-powered search for video events captured by its cameras, beating Google to the punch on the idea. Google had previewed using Gemini to generate natural language descriptions of events captured in a video by a Nest camera, with the functionality set to launch later this year before a broader release in 2025. However, Ring has launched the functionality first with 'Smart Video Search' rolling out in public beta to Ring owners starting today.
