Google's Gemini Live may let you talk to it about your uploaded files
Google’s Gemini AI might be on the verge of a major upgrade, bringing conversational capabilities directly to your files, photos, and recordings — similar to what we’ve seen from OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Gemini is Google’s latest answer to multimodal AI, letting users upload various media types — images, audio, and video — for analysis and interaction. And like ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode, Gemini comes with a feature called Gemini Live, designed to make AI interactions feel more natural and human through voice-based chats.
According to Android Authority, a recent teardown of an unreleased beta version of the Google app revealed code suggesting that Gemini Live could soon "talk about attachments" uploaded by users. While the team wasn’t able to activate the feature, the code hints at an experience that may allow users to ask questions and get insights directly related to their files.
