Google has added a new feature to its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot. The newly launched Gemini Live feature is now available to all Android users. The feature involves a two-way voice chat capability, enabling both the user and the AI to communicate through speech. Notably, the AI demonstrates fluent speech and subtle voice modulation during interactions. Gemini Live was initially available to Gemini Advanced users via the Google One AI Premium plan. It is now rolling out to all Android users globally. However, free-tier users will only get basic features and will not get the option to choose between 10 different voices.
Although the feature doesn't resemble the ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode's emotive voice and ability to react to user input, it is still a valuable tool for users on the go who prefer verbal communication to quickly grasp the essence of an email or to delve into an intriguing topic. Gemini Live's full-screen interface is akin to a phone call, with a central sound wave pattern and hold and end buttons at the bottom. If you're interested in using this feature, here's how to do it:
