The Gemini app has taken a huge leap forward. Following the exciting announcements at Google I/O, Gemini is no longer just a smart chatbot — it’s your personal AI-powered assistant, video producer, image creator, researcher, code collaborator, and even a study buddy. Whether you're a student, professional, content creator, or developer, the new Gemini features are built to empower your workflow, creativity, and everyday tasks like never before.
Let’s break down everything that’s new in Gemini and how you can start using these features today.
1. Gemini Live with Camera and Screen Sharing is Now Free
Show it. Say it. Solve it.
Gemini Live is now available for free on both Android and iOS — and it's a game changer. Ever wished you could just show your phone screen or point your camera at something and get help instantly? With Gemini Live, now you can.
Gemini Live lets you:
-
Share your camera view or screen in real time
