Gemini Live provides an advanced platform for natural and efficient voice interactions. Through continuous updates and integrations, the assistant is constantly being improved.
Introduction to Google Gemini Live
Google has introduced a new feature of its AI-powered assistant, “Gemini Live”, which enables more natural and fluid voice interaction.
- This extension allows you to talk to the assistant as you would to a real person.
- Gemini Live can hold conversations that allow for interruptions and pauses without you having to press a button again. This feature is initially available to subscribers of Gemini Advanced. Originally only available in English, Gemini Live has supported over 40 languages since October 2024, including German.
- A notable feature of Gemini Live is the choice of different voices, covering different tones and accents, to make the interaction more personal.
- In addition, the assistant can work in the background even when the phone is locked or in sleep mode. This functionality allows you to interact with the assistant hands-free, for example while driving or cooking.
Gemini Live integration and advanced features
Gemini Live seamlessly integrates with various Google applications and services.
- Since October 2024, extensions have been added for apps including Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Calendar, Tasks, Reminders, and Keep.
- These integrations allow you to do things like search email, create calendar entries, or manage notes – all within a natural language conversation with the assistant. These extensions are part of Google’s effort to make the assistant more versatile and useful in everyday life.
- Future updates, such as the integration of Project Astra, will enable the camera of the phone to be used to obtain real-time information about objects in the real world.
- Another significant step is the collaboration with Samsung. With the introduction of the Galaxy S25 series, Gemini will become the default assistant on these devices, replacing Samsung’s own assistant Bixby. This partnership underscores the growing importance of Gemini in the field of virtual assistants and demonstrates the confidence of major manufacturers in the capabilities of Google’s AI.
