Google’s Gemini Live is finally getting the gift of sight.
The new abilities were uncovered by a Reddituserwho later shared avideoof the features in action.
The upgrade lets Gemini peer through your screen or camera lens and process what it sees.
The rollout marks the debut of Google’s much-discussed and much-anticipated Project Astra.
The other tool makes your phone’s camera Gemini’s eye.
Google has demonstrated that the AI can precisely discern colors and objects.
Whether the final product matches the platonic ideal of the demos isn’t clear just yet.
Google had previously hinted that Pixel and Galaxy S25 owners would have faster or better access to Project Astra.
ThoughAmazonhas been hyping its new Alexa Plus update, it has yet to arrive.
Meanwhile,Apple’s upgraded Siri has been delayed multiple times.
That leaves Google with a temporary but very real lead in the AI assistant race.
Google has promised that Project Astra will be the “next-generation assistant” everyone wants to use all day.
So keep your (and Gemini’s) eyes peeled for new features to arrive in the weeks ahead.
