Google just announced some cool new features for its Gemini Live AI assistant at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona. These features are going to make Gemini even more helpful and interactive. Let’s break it down in simple terms.
Live Video Feature
Imagine you’re trying to decide what color to paint your room or what kind of plant to buy. With the new Live Video feature, you can just point your phone’s camera at the room or the plants, and Gemini will give you suggestions in real-time. This feature was first shown at Google I/O 2024 and is part of a bigger project called Project Astra. It’s like having a smart friend who can see what you see and give you advice on the spot.
Screen-Sharing Feature
Ever been stuck trying to find a setting on your phone or a specific webpage? The new screen-sharing feature lets you share your phone’s screen with Gemini, and it can guide you through it. You can ask Gemini to help you find something, and it will show you exactly where to tap or swipe. This is super useful for those tricky tech problems or when you need help navigating an app.
When Can You Use These Features?
These new features will be available to Gemini Advanced subscribers later this month. This means you’ll need to be on the Google One AI Premium plan to get access. But once you do, you’ll see a new video icon in the Gemini Live interface to use the Live Video feature and a “Share screen with Live” button for screen-sharing.
Why This Matters
These updates make Gemini more than just a chatbot. It’s becoming a real helper that can see and understand the world around you. Whether you’re decorating your home, shopping for something specific, or just need tech support, Gemini can now assist you in a more natural and intuitive way.
So, if you’re a Gemini Advanced subscriber, keep an eye out for these updates later this month. And if you’re at MWC 2025, you can even try out these features at Google’s booth. Pretty cool, right?
Stay tuned for more updates from Technook!
