Google’s Gemini Live is now freely available for everyone using Google’s Gemini app in English, the company announced on Monday.
Originally, Gemini Live was launched at the Pixel 9 event, but was originally available only for Pixel 9 devices, and it required a Gemini advanced subscription. In September, the company started rolling it out to a subset of Android users, and now it should be available to all users.
Gemini Live is a voice conversation feature for Google’s smart assistant Gemini, allowing users to chat with Gemini for as long as they like. It offers a number of different voice options, and is better at handling features of actual conversations such as pauses and interruptions. It also has context retention, meaning it will remember previous interactions, making subsequent conversations more meaningful.
Google’s Gemini app is only available for Android right now. It’s not inconceivable, however, that it one day comes to Apple’s iOS as well. Apple’s Craig Federighi mentioned the possibility in June, saying that Gemini is “maybe” coming to iOS in the future, along with other AI models.
