Gemini Live, Google’s AI chatbot that can have human-like conversations, will support more languages. The company plans to roll out support for its generative AI virtual assistant in more than 40 languages in the coming weeks.
Gemini Live is Google’s commitment to free-flowing, natural conversations in this new age of generative AI. You can use it to brainstorm events, dive down learning rabbit holes, practice job interview questions (and receive real-time feedback), and more. Google describes it as like talking to a friend, but I’m not sure how many people do all that.
Additionally, this tool allows you to chat in two languages on the same device, with further language support in the works. Multilingual support also works with Gemini integrations for other Google apps and services, such as Google Calendar, Tasks, Keep, and Utilities.
Android apps allow you to set your preferred language. In the Google app, go to (Settings) > (Google Assistant) > (Language) and select your first preference. If you need a second language, there is an option below that called Add Language.
Requires an Android smartphone to use. Google has not yet announced plans to bring Gemini Live to the iPhone. At least for now, the company seems to prefer using it to attract people to its mobile platform.
