Delivering AI products has been Google’s main focus this year as it fights off threats posed by ChatGPT and Microsoft. One of those upcoming products may be Imagen text-to-image integration in Gboard.

In a recent APK (Android Package Kit) teardown, conducted by 9to5Google, the latest beta version of Gboard — 12.7.05.507749191 — contains lines of code that mention an “Imagen Keyboard.” According to the outlet, this Imagen feature would appear somewhere in the shortcuts strip or page, the same place where you would find Clipboard and One-handed mode.
