Google Gemini Live updates announced with Pixel 9 Series

Alongside the unveiling of the latest additions to the Pixel portfolio – the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold – Google emphasized its commitment to integrating advanced AI capabilities into its devices, enhancing user experiences across both Pixel phones and the broader Android platform.

At the ninth #MadebyGoogle event, Google showcased how it is bringing the best of Google AI to the Pixel and Android ecosystems.

With Gemini being fully integrated into the user experience, Pixel and Android devices deliver a bigger range of more innovative and helpful features, including:

● Gemini Live: Subscribers of Gemini Advanced can now have a natural, fluid, and incredibly intuitive back-and-forth dialogue with your AI assistant. Gemini can seamlessly follow along, just like a person would.

● Gemini Overlay: Starting today, you can bring up Gemini’s overlay on top of the app you’re using to ask questions about what’s on your screen. For example, you can find specific information about a YouTube video you’re watching. You can also generate images directly from the overlay and drag and drop them into apps like Gmail and Google Messages.

● More apps and extensions powered by Gemini. 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. Google is 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.

Moreover, Gemini has also been redesigned for different smartphone makes. Those on foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 can open the Gemini in a multi-window, split-screen experience.

As part of its ongoing commitment to user privacy and security while driving innovation, Google’s Gemini is designed to safeguard personal information through a secure, all-in-one approach that avoids reliance on third-party AI providers. Additionally, the introduction of Gemini Nano, a large on-device multimodal AI
model, enables secure processing of sensitive data directly on the phone.

Gemini is now available in 45 languages across more than 200 countries and territories, supporting hundreds of phone models from various manufacturers.
