Google recently announced that its artificial intelligence assistant Gemini Live has ushered in a major update and launched a series of innovative features. These functions are based on Google's "Project Astra" project and have been open to users for the first time after nearly a year of research and development. The most eye-catching thing is that Gemini Live can now interpret the screen content in real time through smartphone cameras and provide accurate answers to users’ questions.
According to Google spokesperson Alex Joseph, this update will make Gemini Live a smart assistant in users' daily lives. At present, some users have shared on Reddit how they experienced the feature on Xiaomi phones, and 9to5Google has also reported on this in detail. It is worth mentioning that the user also released a demonstration video showing Gemini's new screen reading feature, allowing more people to intuitively understand this innovative technology.
The update includes two core features that Google plans to push to Gemini's premium subscribers later this month as part of Google One AI Premium initiative. In the official demo video, a user asked Gemini about the color choices of newly glazed pottery. The assistant not only provided real-time suggestions, but also explained the characteristics of each color in detail, fully demonstrating the powerful capabilities of this new technology.
Google's feature launch this time further consolidates its leading position in the AI assistant market. Meanwhile, Amazon is preparing to launch an upgraded Alexa Plus with limited early trials, while Apple has postponed its upgrade to Siri. This makes Gemini a good position in the market competition. In addition, although Samsung continues to promote its Bixby Assistant, Gemini is currently the default assistant for Google's phones, indicating Google's strategic layout in the field of smart assistants.
With the continuous advancement of AI technology, the interactive experience of users in daily life will become more intelligent and convenient. This new attempt by Google provides users with more possibilities, and future artificial intelligence assistants will be closer to people's actual needs. From real-time visual recognition to intelligent suggestions, the update of Gemini Live marks a new stage of development for AI assistants.
