During its latest hardware launch event, Google introduced Gemini Live, a new AI feature now available to Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android phones. This tool aims to enhance how users interact with their devices, offering a smoother and more natural conversational experience.
Meet Gemini Live: Google’s Next-Gen Conversational AI for Your Phone
Gemini Live functions similarly to Google Assistant but with added flexibility. Users can interrupt responses to ask more questions or pause conversations and resume them later. The feature also works hands-free, allowing users to continue their conversations even when the app is running in the background or the phone is locked. Additionally, Gemini Live offers ten new voice options, letting users choose a voice that suits them best.
In the coming weeks, Google plans to release new extensions for Gemini Live, making it even more useful. These updates will enable the feature to work with apps like Google Keep, Tasks, and Utilities, and will expand its capabilities in YouTube Music. Soon after, Google will introduce a Calendar extension. This will allow users to take a photo of a concert flyer, check if they’re free that day, and set reminders to buy tickets. While ticket purchasing isn’t available yet, it’s something Google plans to add in future updates.

For Android users who have replaced Google Assistant with Gemini, the familiar “Hey Google” command will still work to access Gemini’s features. While watching YouTube, users can tap “Ask about this video” to ask questions related to the content. This feature also works on other screens, letting users inquire about what they’re viewing. Moreover, Gemini allows users to easily drag and drop images it creates into Gmail and Google Messages.
Google has committed to improving Gemini’s speed and quality in the coming months. The company also plans to integrate Gemini more deeply with Google Home, Phone, and Messages. Making it a more seamless part of the user’s everyday experience.
