Gemini Live for Real-Time Interaction
A new experience, Gemini Live, will enable users to have “in-depth” voice chats with AI on their smartphones. This feature allows for real-time interaction, adapting to speech patterns and providing context-aware responses. Additionally, Gemini can interpret and respond to photos and videos taken on the device, making interactions more dynamic.
Multimodal Advancements
Google is advancing its AI capabilities by developing intelligent agents capable of reasoning, planning, and executing multi-step tasks. These multimodal advancements mean Gemini can handle text, image, audio, and video inputs, enhancing its functionality. Early use cases include automating shopping returns and exploring new cities.
Future Updates
Upcoming updates include replacing Google Assistant on Android with Gemini, fully integrating AI into the mobile operating system. A new “Ask Photos” feature will allow users to search their photo libraries using natural language queries, understanding context and recognizing objects and people. Google Maps will also benefit from AI-generated summaries of places and areas, utilizing insights from mapping data to provide detailed information.
With these enhancements, Google aims to make AI an indispensable part of everyday technology, significantly improving user interaction and productivity.
