Behold, Dreambeans. Why is it called that? We’ll get to that later.

First, what is it?

Gozde Oznur, the product lead behind the new app, told TechCrunch that the idea is to use data culled from across your various Google services to generate a curated list of AI-illustrated “stories.” These stories come in a variety of different shapes and forms, although — in general — they seem to be lifestyle suggestions. Oznur describes them as “places to visit, topics to explore, things to try, upcoming trips, events that you should be aware of.”

Dreambeans generates these ideas based on a user’s Google data. “With your permission, Dreambeans uses Personal Intelligence to connect information from Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search History, to curate a finite collection of daily stories designed to spark new ideas,” the company says.

So for instance, some stories may be geographical recommendations — like suggesting a new coffee shop near where the user lives that they might be interested in. Or, as is the case in this marketing video, if you’re getting a new dog and that event has been marked in your Google Calendar, Dreambeans might deliver some insights about what it’s like to live with a new puppy. Still other stories may simply be news articles curated from the web, based on a user’s past interests.

Oznur said the app has also been built as a doomscrolling antidote, in that it only provides users with a limited number of stories per day — typically 10 to 14. The idea is to get a few inspirational ideas and then go out and live your life, she said. A lot of companies are currently trying to court the user that is sick of phone addiction. I recently reviewed a startup, Bond, which also uses AI to auto-generate lifestyle suggestions for the user.
