Gemini Live, the two-way voice chat feature for Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, is now available for all Android users. The feature was initially released to Gemini Advanced users through the Google One AI Premium plan, but now the company is rolling it out to all users. However, only the basic version of the feature is available to users. The choice between ten different sounds is not available in the free tier. A report earlier this month revealed that Google is rolling out the feature to all Android users.

Gemini Live feature is now available for all Android users.

Since the Gemini app is still not available on iOS, the Gemini Live feature is not available for iPhone users. However, Android users with a compatible device and the Gemini app will now see a waveform icon with a flashing icon in the bottom-right corner next to the microphone and camera icon.

Tapping on the waveform icon will give users access to the Gemini Live feature. Simply put, it’s a two-way voice chat feature where both the user and the AI ​​respond through speech. While the AI ​​speaks fluently and shows slight voice modulation, it is not the same as the ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode feature that comes with an emotive voice and the ability to react to the user’s words.

However, this feature is useful even when the user is on the go and would prefer a verbal conversation to an email summary or to learn about an interesting topic. Gemini Live’s full-screen interface is similar to a phone call. Users will see a sound wave like pattern in the center of the screen and a Hold and End buttons at the bottom.
