Google's AI-powered Search Live feature is here to further cannibalize the internet

Google's Search Live feature with voice input is now available on its app for iOS and Android in the US.

You can continue your chat even if you open another app, and you can also see a transcript of Google's responses and then type in more questions if you want to shift to written conversation. Google does show links from across the web on the Search Live screen, but they're displayed in tiny cards and can completely be ignored if the user is indeed doing something else while talking to Gemini. As an example, Google said you can show Search a difficult math problem and ask it to help you solve it or to explain a concept you're having difficulty grasping.
