In a significant move towards enhancing mobile user experience, Google has announced the rollout of its voice-powered AI chatbot, Google Gemini Live. It is now available for free to all Android users. This groundbreaking feature, revealed during the launch event of the Pixel 9. It transforms how users interact with their devices, using voice commands to facilitate real-time conversations.
Initially exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers, Gemini Live has broadened its accessibility, promising an engaging interaction for any Android user via the Gemini app or its overlay. What sets this feature apart is the ability to ask questions aloud. Even interrupting the AI’s responses, brings a new level of dynamism to digital conversations. Users can personalize their experience by selecting from a variety of voice options for Gemini’s responses.
Despite the advanced capabilities of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which introduced a similar voice mode, Google has taken a definitive lead by offering this feature to a broader audience. OpenAI’s version has seen a slower rollout, likely constrained by computing power demands which are substantial for such voice-interactive features.
To engage with Gemini Live, users simply tap the new waveform icon on their device. The interface is user-friendly. It offers options to either hold the AI’s answer or end the conversation. This puts users in complete control of the interaction.
Currently available in English, Google plans to expand the language options and eventually extend this feature to iOS devices. Although no specific timeline has been provided for these updates, the anticipation continues to build.
