- Voice-activated multi-step tasks with Spark integration
Gemini Live now integrates with Spark, allowing users to execute complex, multi-step tasks across Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and the web using natural voice commands. Spark can organize unstructured thoughts into outlines or manage scheduled jobs like creating weekly meal plans and grocery lists based on recipes.
- Daily Brief for spoken summaries of your day
Users can now access a 'Daily Brief' in Gemini Live, which provides a spoken summary of important updates. By asking "What’s my daily brief?", Gemini combines information from Gmail and Calendar into a concise, hands-free digest of the day's to-do list and key events.
- Hands-free Gmail management
A new feature allows users to tackle their inbox using only their voice. Gemini acts as a conversational partner for Gmail, enabling users to search, summarize, star, archive, or delete messages hands-free by asking questions like "Any new emails?"
- Personal Intelligence for context retention
Gemini Live now remembers past conversations and connects information across Google apps like Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube. This 'Personal Intelligence' feature allows users to seamlessly pick up where they left off and recall details from previous interactions or connected services.
