How Gemini Live Works
The Gemini Live interface is intuitive and seamlessly integrated within the Gemini app. With a few taps, users can activate the camera sharing or screen sharing function and immediately start a visual conversation with the AI.
Whether you're pointing your phone at a broken appliance, a document in a foreign language, or a complicated user interface, Gemini can now "see" what you're seeing and respond accordingly.
Ideal for Real-Time, Hard-to-Describe Situations
This feature is particularly useful for complex, real-world scenarios where typing a question may not be sufficient. Think of:
– Troubleshooting hardware or software issues
