What’s New in Google Gemini Live: Visual Guidance, App Control, Better Voice

First, Gemini Live will highlight things on your phone screen while you share the camera. For example, point at several tools and Gemini will mark the right one. Google will ship this feature with Pixel 10 devices on August 28. The company will roll it out to other Android phones and then to iOS in the following weeks.

Deeper app control for hands-free tasks

Next, Gemini Live will work with more apps. The assistant will link into Messages, Phone, Clock, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. This lets you ask Gemini to draft texts, set alarms, or place calls without leaving the conversation. For instance, you can say you are running late, and Gemini can draft a message to a contact.

A more natural, expressive voice

Also, Google is updating Gemini’s audio model. The new model improves intonation, rhythm, and pitch. As a result, Gemini can change tone for stressful topics and slow or speed up speech on demand. The assistant can even adopt accents for creative storytelling.

Faster interactions and richer context

Moreover, Gemini Live will pull context from your phone for better replies. Google’s on-device features, like Magic Cue, can surface useful suggestions during chats. This helps Gemini act on real tasks without breaking the flow.

Why this matters for users

Finally, these updates aim to make Gemini Live more practical. Visual guidance reduces guesswork. App integrations cut friction. Voice upgrades make conversations feel natural. Google positions Gemini Live as a real-time assistant that can help with daily tasks.
