To say goodbye to Google Assistant and Hi Gemini Live implies not only better contextualization and better understanding, but also to a new way of interacting with the mobile. With AI, interaction with the mobile level. Yes, Gemini can see and you can reach documents on which to base your questions, but the natural conversation with Gemini Live is another story in front of the classic vocal assistant.
I have been using Gemini Live for weeks on my mobileFirst inherit the four things that, in practice, asked Google Assistant, but this way of understanding and interacting if natural has required much more. And with the exception of an exception, he gave the size.
A live translator 2 in 1
This use seems to me a real barbarism and also, which ends the most Need a translator at some point in his life. There are several ways to take advantage of Gemini Live for translation: we can play on the camera to target a text in another language and have the translation at the moment, either in English, Italian or Chinese.
This has already done Google Lens with enough success (although it is slower, you had to go into games and sometimes have eaten certain parts), but it is also possible Summon gemini live to ask him to translate live From one language to another in real time as if it were a professional interpreter. It takes you into trouble in any conversation in another language.
Staff Live translation seems revolutionary to meNot only because of the quality of translations (it depends largely on how to talk about people and their vocalization, but in general, I have no problem) but because the delay is minimal, so that it does not bother the conversation. In addition, taking a photo of a poster, the information he provides is light years of what Google Lens has done: more precise, with more context, much faster and once.
I have my own hands on the mobile
We do not know everything, so ask Gemini live for example how to change a bicycle chain is a good idea, but it is better to touch the camera, aim for this element and that I launch a hand Visually diagnose failure.
Then provide step -by -step information to resolve it. I must say that here the results can be disparate depending on the ventilation and photography you make, but to Relatively simple handshake As for example, the change of a spoiled socket makes the apaño surprisingly. Without going further, it helped me repair the tank of a toilet. If what he explains is too complex or out of my skills, no problem: I call a professional.
One per by Recommendations for the best results: Have good lighting and take detailed photos and if it is necessary to add a few additional images and do not doubt when you are wondering to go step by step with large details.
Understand and review dense texts
From time to time, I have to face legislation or abstract and unclear texts such as a contract, so something I usually do is put the PDF with the text or the URL (better the first option) so that later Start the interrogation. Without a doubt, to avoid failures or inaccuracies, it is much better than questioning it about a general concept.
Gemini is able to return a table or a summary, but if you have to soak up more and want to solve concrete doubts, there is another better option: Maintain a conversation Where to look for tickles and clarify concepts. Or listen to the answer, as if it were an educational podcast.
It works with all types of texts (philosophical, technical, historical …) and you can also change the rhythm and style to adapt it to your knowledge. Much better than a tutorial is have a personalized tutor. It goes without saying that it is fantastic to see the lesson again.
An example: if you wish to prepare an article on the royal decree of the single charger of the EU, it will always be preferable to pass the link to simply mention it (royal decree 188/2016), because otherwise you could use incomplete texts, consider the legislation not in force in your region or leave information. Furthermore It is essential not to provide personal data. For example, to assess which mortgage it suited me more, I adopted the figures but I omitted information such as Cadastre or my personal data.
It is very important to check the answerBecause for example, after having adopted the aforementioned law in the form of an URL, it distorted it with regulations concerning red tuna fishing.
Improvised travel guide already measured
I like art and cultural tourism, which is why I usually use the guide services, but it was not always satisfied: sometimes the guides are too deployed, others were inaccurate, there are also people who are expressed regularly … So now he called with Gemini Live: I point the camera to the monument or the image and ask you to explain me.
It seems really surprising that be able to satisfy all listeners: For me, to a person who knows a lot or who can adapt his speech for example to go to six years.
Here is particularly useful Use the roles tip: Ask him to work as a tourist guide and define the public to which it is ordered to limit the extension and the level of detail. The best thing is that not only tells you about buildings and monuments, but you can first ask the style of a good arc to photograph a grave or give you a context, for example to explain why the Picasso Guernica.
Which saves me time by watching YouTube videos
The same is true that I am a millennium, but for me, the videos become too long: these seven minutes to explain how to update my Android becomes eternal and not even the reproduction at more speed relieves me. So large waters, large remedies: I pass the link and ask for a summary With the most important and easiest way to read and understand.
It works particularly well with tutorials or recipes, but in general, everything you talk about, for example, a TED conversation by Bill Gates, translates it and summarizes so that you can stay with the important. And the best: as I am not signed with YouTube Premium, I save the announcements.
Cooking ideas and use recipes
I don't know, but sometimes I get tired of the usual recipes and although a few days ago, I seemed to be a magnificent idea of taking half a dozen coaches from the family garden, so I don't know what to do with everyone.
Asking for recipes is an option, but I find it much more interesting to use Gemini Live to open the camera later and Take the refrigerator and see what I have to offer recipes. Of course, then he guides the step by step in a lively voice so as not to jump anything, which comes from the cinema when you have dirty hands.
It looks much better with an example: I open the freezer and discover parts of salmon and a frozen artichoke bag, what would I do? Grilled salmon and sautéed artichokes from the garrison, but Gemini open a range of possibilities. I must say that Sometimes for me it's creativeBut it is used to give me the basis of other recipes.
A fashion assistant
I like fashion, but sometimes I play too much. It is not always a question of colors, but there are also styles that correspond better than the others. Although it is possible to ask for what to do, it seems much more useful and personalized to point with the camera to the clothes that I would like to wear and Ask yourself if you combine and if you can suggest something better or a complement.
I used it very occasionally, but for the last wedding I had, I passed the dress and it was Gemini Live who suggested my shoes and the bag that best suits my style and my skin.
Conclusions
That artificial intelligence is light years of ancient vocal assistants in terms of contextualization and understanding is a reality which, in the practice Its multimodal character triggers its conviviality.
Are Ability to see and speak They allow other ways to interact and use as diverse as those mentioned above and which considerably improve other Google products, such as Google Assistant or Google Lens.
They still need a certain expert when developing the prompt (in general, the detail of the target audience and the use of roles are good practices) and to be special care at the time of Check important information or give personal dataBut in practice, they save a lot of time and give good ideas that can serve as a basis.
It seems absurd, but things like helping you change menus or looking for an outfit for a wedding have their point and it's a lot More direct and personalized than internet research.
