Google adds more intelligence to Assistant with Gemini Live

Google also announced some artificial intelligence-based features with its new smartphones, smart watches and headphones. One of them was Gemini Live. Google will initially offer the Gemini Live feature in English to Android users who are Gemini Advanced subscribers.

Google describes Gemini Live as “a mobile chat experience that lets you have free-flowing conversations with Gemini.” In short, users are greeted with an experience that is basically similar to Google Assistant. However, as in everything else today, artificial intelligence sauce appears here too.

Users can interrupt Gemini Live while giving a response, delve deeper at one point, or pause the conversation and return later. Gemini Live can also operate hands-free. With the Gemini application, you can continue talking in the background or when the phone is locked. In addition, in Gemini Live users will be able to choose between ten new voices.

Google will be releasing new extensions for Gemini in the coming weeks. These will enable it to work with apps like Keep, Tasks, and Utilities, and expand the feature set on YouTube Music. One of the plugins that will be released soon will be the Calendar plugin. This plugin will allow you to take a photo of a concert flyer, for example, and ask Gemini if ​​you’re available that day, and even set a reminder to buy tickets.

If you replaced Google Assistant with Gemini on Android, you can ask Gemini for things by saying “Hey Google.” If you’re using YouTube, you can tap Ask about this video and ask Gemini questions about what you’re watching. The feature in question also works with the “Ask about this” screen in other places. Gemini can also drag and drop the images it produces directly into Gmail and Google Messages.

Google will go further than it did with Gemini Live

Google also promises that it will focus on speed and quality in Gemini in the coming months and launch deeper integrations with Google Home, Phone and Messages.
