The tech giant, Google has launched new updates for Gemini Live, adding new capabilities, broader app integration, and improved voice models for more natural speech.

It is also introducing visual guidance, allowing Gemini Live to highlight specific objects on the screen in response to user queries. These real-time visual cues will create a powerful new way to learn and solve problems.

In addition, the two-way voice chatbot is being integrated with the Phone, Messages, and Clock apps, enabling it to make calls, send messages, and set alarms. These features will first roll out to the Google Pixel 10 series, on August 28, the day the smartphones goes on sale. The same week, these features will also start rolling out to other Android devices. The iOS devices will receive the feature after that.

More Google apps in Gemini Live

The tech giant is also expanding the first-party app integration of Gemini Live. So far, it only supports Google Calendar, Keep and Tasks. However, the company says it is planning to add support for the Phone, Messages, and Clock apps as well. Once the feature rolls out, users can ask the AI to make a call, set an alarm, or send a message to a contact mid-conversation, without needing to stop the conversation.

New Speech Models

In addition, Google is launching new model updates soon that will dramatically improve how Gemini Live uses the key elements of human speech, like intonation, rhythm and pitch, allowing for a more responsive and expressive conversation.
