When Google rolled out Gemini Live, its AI avatar, it was a breakthrough moment. The ability for the AI to hold free-flowing conversations and understand the environment through your phone’s camera remains impressive. Now, it’s gearing up to integrate smoothly with the Android applications on your device.
What’s Changing?
During the launch of Pixel 10, Google announced that Gemini Live now supports direct interaction with apps like Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. For example, if you’re chatting with the AI and want to quickly jot down a note, you can simply tell it what to save. There’s no longer a need to open the Keep app or switch screens.
While engaging with Gemini Live, you can give commands such as “save a note about picking up cabbage from the store,” or “schedule a meeting with John at 4 p.m. this Saturday,” and it will handle the task seamlessly in the background.
The goal is to connect Gemini Live directly with various apps, much like its deep integration within Google services such as Docs, Gmail, and Search. With this update, you won’t have to tap, type, or switch apps—just speak your command, and it gets executed effortlessly.
The Future Looks Bright
Gemini already works with Google’s native apps as well as third-party platforms like WhatsApp through a system of connectors. The current focus is on expanding this effortless voice-first experience to more mobile apps with Gemini Live, enhancing the way users interact with their devices.
In addition to Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, Google plans to bring Gemini Live into essential communication apps like Messages, Phone, and Clock. They’re also enhancing how Gemini integrates with Google Maps, enabling a broader range of support and assistance.
To improve the user experience, Google is updating the underlying models to make Gemini Live conversations sound even more natural. Users will soon have the option to instruct it to speak more slowly or to match their note-taking pace, enhancing the overall interaction quality.
