Google has announced that Gemini Live is rolling out for all Android users via the Gemini app, for free. 

Google originally launched the Gemini Live assistant alongside the Google Pixel 9 series. The new assistant is faster than the standard Gemini and offers a more intuitive and immersive experience. It's definitely more conversational.

Thhe updated assistant was stated to be available to Gemini Advance subscribers initially, then released to other models. It looks like Android users won't have to wait any longer as Google has announced on X that the Gemini Live rollout is here.

Note that it's only possible to download the US English version currently. Although you can select different accents, including the British "Capella." So now is a great time to try out Google's improved AI assistant. 

To access Gemini Live, you'll want to do the following:

How to access Gemini Live

1. Download the Gemini live app on your Android phone.

2. Open the Gemini app

3. Tap Live at the bottom of the screen

4. Follow the on-screen instructions

5. Start talking

Our own Richard Priday had a chance to test out Gemini Live over 24 hours recently and had a lot of good things to say about the feature. While there were some issues with the Gemini Advanced model giving out of date or incorrect advice, Gemini Live actually impressed. The AI's ability to hold continued conversations was a marked improvement over other text-based assistants. 

Google rolling out Gemini live to Android users for free is great to see, and to get the best experience you should be using one of the best Android phones. Let us know in the comments what you think of Gemini Live once you’ve had a chance to try it.
