Users can engage with Gemini Live by showing product labels, their environment, or seeking assistance while navigating apps, making the experience feel conversational and intuitive.

The 'Talk Live About' function allows for dynamic, voice-only conversations, enhancing user interaction without the need for typing.

For instance, users can take a picture of clothing to learn about its materials or inquire about unfamiliar words found online.

Google has announced that Gemini Live, featuring camera and screen sharing capabilities, is now available to all Android app users, moving away from the previous requirement of a $20 monthly subscription for Gemini Advanced.

The announcement was made on X (formerly Twitter), indicating that the rollout will occur over the coming weeks, prioritizing newer smartphone models with at least 2GB of RAM and running Android 10 or higher.

These features were initially launched exclusively for Advanced users on April 10, 2025, but positive user feedback prompted Google to expand access.

This move positions Gemini Live favorably against competitors like Microsoft's Copilot Vision, which also offers visual capabilities but is limited to the Edge browser.

Gemini Live's integration within the Android ecosystem is a significant advantage, allowing seamless access without the need for separate applications.

There is speculation that this rollout may also serve as a strategy for Google to gather more training data from users to improve the AI's accuracy.

However, this expansion does not extend to iOS users, who will not receive these features for free, raising questions about the future of premium AI services.

A review highlighted that while the features generally work well, there are occasional inaccuracies in the AI's responses, such as misidentifying products or dates.

The rollout is part of Google's broader strategy to enhance user experience and compete with rivals like OpenAI and Microsoft, who offer similar features.
