Google has officially rolled out the Gemini Live feature, its two-way voice chat capability for the Gemini AI chatbot, making it available to all Android users. Previously, this feature was exclusive to Gemini Advanced users who held a Google One AI Premium subscription. Now, everyone on Android can engage in voice conversations with the AI.
Basic Functionality for Free Users
While the Gemini Live feature is now accessible to all Android users, the free tier offers only the basic version. This means users will not have access to the ten unique voices that are available in the premium version.
For those using the Gemini app, a new waveform icon will appear next to the microphone and camera icons at the bottom right of the screen. Tapping this icon activates Gemini Live, allowing for two-way voice communication with the AI.
The interface resembles a full-screen phone call, complete with a sound wave pattern and options to hold or end the conversation. Users can interrupt the AI by using the hold button to ask new questions or shift the direction of the conversation.
Comparing Gemini Live to ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode
While Gemini Live provides fluent and responsive speech, it does fall short in terms of emotional expressiveness and nuanced reactions when compared to ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode.
How to Use Gemini Live
Here’s a quick guide to getting started with Gemini Live:
- Download and Install the Gemini App: Ensure you have the Gemini app installed on your Android device.
- Open the App: Launch the app and look for the waveform icon located at the bottom right of the screen.
- Activate Gemini Live: Tap the waveform icon and accept the terms and conditions.
- Start the Conversation: Begin speaking to initiate a dialogue with the AI.
With these simple steps, you can take advantage of the new Gemini Live voice chat feature and enjoy interactive conversations with your AI assistant!
