HP's new AI chatbot tries to simplify printing - but is it really necessary?

HP introduces an AI chatbot for printing, aiming to simplify the process and enhance features like Perfect Output and printable spreadsheets.

: HP has launched a new AI chatbot to streamline the printing process. The HP Print AI promises to simplify tasks such as creating perfect layouts for web pages and spreadsheets. It also has functions like providing installation support through natural language. However, the necessity of such integration is questioned.

HP has unveiled an AI chatbot designed to make printing easier and more intuitive for users. Dubbed HP Print AI, the chatbot aims to manage the entire printing process, positioning itself as the industry's first intelligent print experience with advanced features.

One standout feature is Perfect Output, which is in beta and can optimize layouts for web pages and other content not originally intended for printing. This feature also helps with traditionally difficult tasks like printing spreadsheets, by preventing the splitting of tables and charts across multiple pages.

Additionally, HP's AI offers simplified support by providing natural language instructions for printer setup and configuration. Beyond printing, HP is investing in machine learning to improve enterprise scanning with its upcoming 'Scan AI Enhanced' solution.
