Gemini

Google has finally expanded the availability of Gemini Live AI-powered feature to all Android smartphones with Gemini app. The feature was earlier exclusive to Pixel 9 series phones.

The feature, which enables users to engage in real-time voice conversations with an AI assistant, is rolling out in English and includes 10 different voices.

Gemini Live allows users to interact with the AI using natural language, making it feel like a human conversation. The assistant can respond to questions, help brainstorm ideas, or discuss topics of interest, enhancing user experience. This rollout brings the feature to a wider audience, making it accessible to anyone using the Gemini app on Android for free.

Availability

As of October 1, Gemini Live is available for all Android users globally, free of charge. Users can simply update their Gemini app from the Google Play Store to access the new feature.

Features

Gemini Live supports 10 new AI voices, including Nova, Ursa, Vega, Pegasus, Orbit, Lyra, Orion, Dipper, Eclipse, and Capella. To switch between voices, users can navigate to the app's settings and select the preferred voice. The assistant operates conversationally, much like fictional AI assistants JARVIS or Friday from Iron Man, offering an intuitive and interactive experience.
