Gemini Live, Google’s two-way voice chat feature for its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, is now available to all Android users. The feature was initially released for Gemini Advanced users through the Google One AI Premium plan, but now the company is rolling it out to all users. However, only the basic version of the feature is available to users. The choice between ten different voices is not available in the free tier. A report earlier this month revealed that Google is rolling out the feature to all Android users.
The Gemini Live feature is now available to all Android users
Since the Gemini app is not yet available on iOS, the Gemini Live feature is not available for iPhone users. However, Android users with a compatible device and the Gemini app will now see a waveform icon with a glow icon in the lower right corner, next to the microphone and camera icons.
Tapping the waveform icon will give users access to the Gemini Live feature. Simply put, it’s a two-way voice chat feature where both the user and the AI respond via speech. While the AI speaks fluently and exhibits slight voice modulation, it is not unlike the ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode feature that comes with an emotive voice and the ability to react to the user’s words.
However, the feature is still useful when the user is on the go and would prefer a verbal conversation to learn about an email summary or an intriguing topic. Gemini Live’s full-screen interface is similar to a phone call. Users will see a sound wave-like pattern in the middle of the screen and pause and stop buttons placed at the bottom. If you’re interested in using the feature, here’s how you can do it.
How to use the Gemini Live feature
- On your Android device, download and install the Gemini app.
- Open the Gemini app.
- Find the waveform icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Touch it.
- Users will see the terms and conditions menu for the first time. Accept it.
- You can now see the Gemini Live interface.
- You can start speaking to trigger an AI response.
- You can also use the Wait button to abort the AI and continue with another query.
