Gemini makes your mobile device a powerful AI assistant

Gemini Live is available today to Advanced subscribers, along with conversational overlay on Android and even more connected apps.

For years, we’ve relied on digital assistants to set timers, play music or control our smart homes. This technology has made it easier to get things done and saved valuable minutes each day.

Now with generative AI, we can provide a whole new type of help for complex tasks that can save you hours. With Gemini, we’re reimagining what it means for a personal assistant to be truly helpful. Gemini is evolving to provide AI-powered mobile assistance that will offer a new level of help — all while being more natural, conversational and intuitive.

Gemini Live is a mobile conversational experience that lets you have free-flowing conversations with Gemini. Want to brainstorm potential jobs that are well-suited to your skillset or degree? Go Live with Gemini and ask about them. You can even interrupt mid-response to dive deeper on a particular point, or pause a conversation and come back to it later. It’s like having a sidekick in your pocket who you can chat with about new ideas or practice with for an important conversation.

Gemini Live is also available hands-free: You can keep talking with the Gemini app in the background or when your phone is locked, so you can carry on your conversation on the go, just like you might on a regular phone call. Gemini Live begins rolling out today in English to our Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android phones, and in the coming weeks will expand to iOS and more languages.

To make speaking to Gemini feel even more natural, we’re introducing 10 new voices to choose from, so you can pick the tone and style that works best for you.


Connecting with even more apps for everyday help

Gemini can help with tasks big and small by integrating with all the Google apps and tools you use today. And unlike other assistants, it does so without you having to jump between apps and services.

We’re launching new extensions in the coming weeks, including Keep, Tasks, Utilities and expanded features on YouTube Music. Let’s say you’re hosting a dinner party: Have Gemini dig out that lasagna recipe Jenny sent you in your Gmail, and ask it to add the ingredients to your shopping list in Keep. And since your guests are your college friends, ask Gemini to “make a playlist of songs that remind me of the late ‘90s.” Without needing too many details, Gemini gets the gist of what you want and delivers.

And with the Calendar extension coming soon, you’ll be able to snap a photo of a concert flier and ask Gemini if you're free that day — and even set a reminder to buy tickets.
