Google Unveils Free Access to Gemini Live for Android Users

Gemini Live Now Accessible to All Android Users

On Thursday, Google shared via an X post that all users in English on Android can now access Gemini Live, allowing them to have a free-flowing conversation with the assistant whenever they'd like. Previously, Gemini Live was exclusively available to Gemini Advanced users with a $20 monthly membership, but that has changed.

Free Access to Conversational AI

The update makes access to Gemini Live entirely free to Android users since they will no longer need to subscribe to the Gemini One AI Premium plan. Downloading the app from the Google Play Store is also free. This update contrasts with ChatGPT's equivalent feature, the new Voice Mode, currently rolling out in alpha to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users, which requires a subscription.

Comparisons and Future Features

Eventually, both Gemini Live and OpenAI's Voice Mode are expected to utilize the phone's camera to enhance user interactions by providing contextual awareness. However, neither company has provided a specific launch date for these visual features.'

Apple’s AI Developments

If you're an Apple user feeling left out, Apple has also announced its own collection of AI features named Apple Intelligence. It includes smarter Siri functionalities, but these will only be available on devices with the A17 chip.
