🔍 Summary:
Google has introduced new capabilities to its Gemini Live feature for Google One AI Premium subscribers, enabling the AI to “see” and interact with real-time images from users’ screens and smartphone cameras. This development, part of the “Project Astra” initiative first showcased nearly a year ago, allows Gemini to analyze visuals and provide immediate feedback. For instance, users can now get assistance on choosing paint colors by showing Gemini their options through the camera feed. This rollout positions Google ahead in the AI assistant market, especially as competitors like Amazon and Apple are also updating their virtual assistants but have faced delays and limited releases.
