5 Ways To Use Google’s Gemini Live On Pixel And Galaxy Devices For Real-Time Help
Gemini Live now lets users interact with Google’s AI assistant using their phone’s camera and screen in real time, making various tasks easier.
Google is expanding access to one of its most innovative AI tools yet. Gemini Live — the interactive feature within the Gemini app — now allows users to hold real-time conversations with the AI assistant using their device’s camera or screen. The capability is being gradually rolled out to all Android users with a Gemini Advanced subscription. As of this week, it's available to users of the Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series.
Gemini Live supports over 45 languages and offers a hands-free way to engage with the AI. Whether you're facing a messy workspace, pondering design ideas or seeking help with a faulty gadget, Gemini Live promises to offer visual-based assistance.
Here are five ways early users have found this feature helpful:
1) Tidy Up Your Space
Cleaning can feel daunting, but with Gemini Live, you don’t have to do it alone. Just point your phone’s camera at a chaotic corner, like an overstuffed drawer or disorganised bookshelf. Then, ask Gemini how to approach the mess. The AI can offer tips on sorting, storing and even suggest what to toss or donate.
2) Visual Brainstorming
Gemini Live can be your sounding board for ideas. Share your screen to show visual prompts — like a bright street scene or a photo of nature — and have a conversation with the AI about potential storylines, artistic themes or DIY project ideas. It’s a smart way to overcome creative block with the help of an AI co-creator.
3) Diagnose Everyday Problems On The Spot
From a malfunctioning appliance to a noise in your car, Gemini Live allows you to show rather than tell. Aim your camera at the problem and describe what’s happening. The AI can suggest troubleshooting steps or point out possible causes, helping you assess the issue quickly.
4) Shop Smarter
Online shopping just got easier. With Gemini Live’s screen-sharing capability, users can ask for help while browsing items. Compare products, get suggestions on styles or even ask the AI to recommend items that pair well with what’s already in your wardrobe. Use your phone’s camera to show Gemini what’s hanging in your closet and receive real-time feedback.
5) Constructive Feedback
Whether you’re fine-tuning a presentation, curating a social media post or editing a portfolio, Gemini Live can offer detailed input. Share your screen to get feedback on layouts, writing tone, image selection or design elements. It acts as a collaborative editor, highlighting areas for improvement and helping polish your work.
