Gemini Live Upgrade: Intuitive Camera Guidance, Natural Voice
Google announces Gemini Live upgrade with intuitive camera guidance, more natural voice, and deeper connections to Google apps.
From Pixel 9 to Pixel 10: Gemini Live gets smarter
Gemini Live first debuted with the Pixel 9, offering a natural conversation experience with AI. A year later, Google expanded languages, countries, and camera and display integration so Gemini can “see” the world with you.
Now, with Pixel 10, Gemini Live is upgraded to become a comprehensive AI assistant that is more intuitive, more expressive, and closely integrated with many Google apps.
Visual assistant right on the screen
When sharing the camera, Gemini not only looks but also highlights directly on the screen to guide you.
For example, if you're having trouble choosing sneakers, Gemini can highlight a pair that matches the outfit you're describing. Or if you're looking for a tool in your toolbox, Gemini can point you straight to the one you need.
The feature will be available on Pixel 10 starting August 28, then expand to other Androids and iOS in the coming weeks.
Connect more Google apps
Gemini Live can now manage calendars, reminders, notes, and shopping right in conversations:
Sync with Google Calendar to organize your schedule.
Create a shopping list in Google Keep.
Set reminders in Google Tasks.
In the future, Gemini will integrate more deeply with Messages, Phone, Clock, and expand the feature in Google Maps. For example, after asking for train directions, you can ask Gemini to text your friend that you are “10 minutes late” without interrupting your journey.
More natural and expressive voice
Gemini Live gets a new voice model update, improving intonation, cadence, and pitch for natural, human-like conversation. Users can:
Ask Gemini to speak slower for notes or faster when in a hurry.
Change your voice for fun, or create a vivid storytelling experience with Julius Caesar's voice talking about the Roman Empire.
Speak with more appropriate emotion, for example using a calm voice when discussing stressful topics.
Gemini Live Aims for a Comprehensive AI Assistant
These upgrades bring Gemini closer to its vision of becoming an everyday personal AI assistant: understanding the world around you, helping you get things done, and exploring new ideas with you.
