What is Gemini Live? A first look at Google's new real-time voice AI bot

Google made some pretty big announcements today, including a new way to have natural voice conversations with its Gemini model. Here's how Gemini Live will work.

For example, they can ask Gemini Live questions at their own pace and interrupt the AI bot mid-sentence to have it clarify or adjust how it's replying, similar to what OpenAI showed off with GPT-4o during its demo yesterday. Google will offer a variety of voices for users to choose from for their Gemini Live experience, as OpenAI has done with ChatGPT since it added the Whisper integration last September. Google says it will add the full multimodal experience to Gemini Live later this year, allowing it to view the world around the user when they open the camera during a conversation.
