Gemini Live Turns Voice Conversations Into Context-Aware Work
Gemini Live lets people talk to an assistant instead of typing everything.
This can help when someone is driving to a meeting and needs to find information quickly.
For example, a person can ask Gmail Live for a flight gate number.
The assistant searches the inbox using the conversation.
People can also speak ideas when their hands are busy.
Docs Live turns those spoken ideas into an organized draft.
It can use information from Gmail, Drive, Chat, and the web.
