The race to have the smartest AI virtual assistant started with Siri and Alexa, but it was ChatGPT that really hit the ground running. However, now Google overtakes OpenAI to the right, making its most advanced voice assistant free long before Atlman did. And speak in Spanish and more than 40 languages.
At this year’s Made by Google, the company presented Gemini Live, a version of Gemini capable of maintaining fluid and natural conversations in English and initially exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers. It is capable of processing text and multimedia content using voice prompts. It can range from generating programming codes to maintaining fluid interactions with users.
«It’s like having a talk with a friend. “You can exchange ideas, explore new topics or even practice for a great presentation,” the development team said in its presentation. Gemini Live can keep up with the pace of your conversations so you can interrupt them, change direction, or delve deeper into a specific topic. And with 10 different voices to choose from, to suit the consumer.
Fluent conversations in up to two languages
Now, being a free feature and no longer exclusive to the subscription, its interaction capacity has been expanded to Spanish and more than 40 additional languages, with the goal that many more people can chat, collaborate and benefit from conversational AI in their mother tongue. Or with a second, because it allows conversations in a maximum of two languages on the same device, and Google’s goal is to expand it in the future. Its arrival will be from this Monday in a gradual and staggered manner, so do not despair if it is not yet available on your device. It will come.
Among its functions, Gemini Live can manage content from apps such as Gmail, Google Maps and YouTube. Big tech is expanding this capability to services such as Google Calendar, Tasks, Keep and Utilities. “With the new extensions, Gemini can bring together what you need from other applications to help you get things done easier and faster,” he promises.
Requirements
The intention of the Mountain View giant is to facilitate access to the benefits of artificial intelligence. “By expanding Gemini Live and app connections to more languages, we are making this a reality, helping people around the world connect with information and experience the benefits of an AI-powered assistant.”
In order to use Gemini Live, the user must have a phone running Android 10 or higher and with a RAM memory of at least 2 gigabytes. Users must have an active personal Google account. Conversations can be started from the Gemini mobile app or with the “Hey Google” voice command. In this second alternative, it is necessary to select the Live icon (three vertical lines with a star at the top) to interact with the AI assistant.
