The Raspberry Pi Foundation said that Google will be arriving in style for the community this year by adding a range of smart tools.

"Google's range of AI and machine learning technology could enable makers to build even more powerful projects," it said.

Google has developed a huge range of tools for machine learning, IoT, wearables, robotics, and home automation. It has asked Raspberry Pi fans to fill out a survey that will help it to understand what tools to provide.

The survey mentions face- and emotion-recognition and speech-to-text translation, as well as natural language processing and sentiment analysis.

"The tech giant also provides powerful technology for navigation, bots, and predictive analytics. The survey will help them get a feel for the Raspberry Pi community, but it'll also help us get the kinds of services we need," a spokesRaspberry said.
