Gemini Live is learning to walk the walk after talking the talk

The conversational assistant just got a lot better at doing things for you.

Gemini Live is learning to walk the walk after talking the talk

Gemini Live has evolved beyond just being a conversational assistant. The technology, powered by Gemini Spark, can now take natural voice requests and convert them into multi-step tasks. Google is expanding Gemini Live's capabilities with features aimed at enhancing productivity. These include Daily Brief, a feature that provides a daily overview of your schedule, hands-free Gmail management, and Personal Intelligence, which offers personalized insights.

However, not all these features are free. For instance, Spark, the component that enables task handling, is available only to users with Google AI Pro or higher subscriptions. Similarly, Daily Brief requires Google AI Plus or higher. Despite these costs, Google sees significant potential in Gemini Live. Recent data shows that 63% of Gemini users engage with the assistant using their voice, a figure that convinced Google Gemini Live should not just be a tool for chatting, but also for getting things done.

The tech giant envisions Gemini Live as a versatile tool that can manage complex tasks on behalf of users, potentially blurring the lines between conversational AI and productivity software.
