Google introduces AutoDraw tool

Google yesterday announced the arrival of AutoDraw, a new free-to-use drawing tool for smartphones, tablets and computers, as revealed in a post on the Google blog.

AutoDraw is a web-based tool that recognises and matches basic shapes drawn by a user with cleaner drawings from Google’s pre-defined list of supplied illustrations.

AutoDraw uses machine learning to achieve this, and Google suggests the tool can be used to create illustrations for a wide range of purposes such as birthday cards, party invites or for recreation.
