New Gemini feature and model updates for Pixels, smartphones

2. Ask Gemini Live to access your productivity apps

Gemini Live, which lets you chat naturally, hands-free with Gemini, is now officially integrated with Calendar, Keep, Tasks and Google Maps. This integration is available for everyone, including all Pixel users. This means, with your permission, Gemini Live can check on and update your Calendar, create a to-do list in Tasks or pull up coffee shop recommendations. And Gemini Live will be able to work with more Google apps soon, including Clock, Messages and Phone.

Since launching with Pixel 9, Gemini Live interactions are five times longer than text-based conversations on average — so now, you’ll be able to keep the conversation going with access to these apps.

3. Use Gemini Live to get visual guidance on your screen

Now, when you share your camera in a Gemini Live conversation, Gemini not only sees what you see but also provides visual guidance by highlighting things directly on your screen. These real-time visual cues and responses mean you can learn and solve problems in new ways with Gemini. For example, if you can’t decide between two winter coats, show Gemini each item using your camera, tell it what you’re looking for and it will highlight the one that best matches your needs.
