Google Lens isn't a diagnostic tool, so don't consider this a substitute for a doctor. But by looking at similar images, it can help you make an informed decision about whether to give the pediatrician a call, or just rub calamine lotion on it. You can look up skin conditions on Lens starting today and can access Lens on Android and iOS through the Google app.

Teased at Google I/O, Bard is now multimodal, which means you can include images in prompts. For example, you can upload an image of a bird you don't recognize and ask Bard to help you identify it.
