Google recently announced new features for its Gemini Live, enabling it to answer user questions in real-time using a smartphone camera and "see" the user's screen. These new features, developed under Google's "Project Astra," are the result of nearly a year of research and development.
According to Google spokesperson Alex Joseph, the Gemini Live update provides users with more intelligent and intuitive support on their phones. A user on Reddit shared their experience using the feature on a Xiaomi phone, which was also reported by 9to5Google. Recently, this user also released a demonstration video showcasing Gemini's new screen reading capabilities.
The update includes two key features that Google says will roll out later this month to premium Gemini subscribers as part of the Google One AI Premium plan. These features allow Gemini to interpret visual information from a phone's camera in real-time and accurately answer user questions. In a released demo video, a user asked Gemini about color choices for newly glazed pottery, and the assistant provided real-time suggestions, showcasing the power of this new technology.
Google's latest features further solidify its leading position in the AI assistant market. Meanwhile, Amazon is preparing to launch an upgraded Alexa Plus with limited early testing, while Apple has delayed upgrades to Siri. This positions Gemini favorably in the market competition. Furthermore, while Samsung continues to promote its Bixby assistant, Gemini remains the default assistant for Google phones, highlighting Google's strategic positioning in the smart assistant arena.
With the continuous advancement of AI technology, user interaction experiences in daily life will become more intelligent and convenient. This new initiative from Google offers users more possibilities, and future AI assistants will be more aligned with people's real needs.
