Google has unveiled a series of major updates to its Gemini app, showcasing significant advancements in artificial intelligence. These updates include the rollout of Gemini Live, now available for free, offering users real-time visual assistance through their smartphone cameras on both Android and iOS. This feature enables users to engage in more extended and interactive conversations, reportedly five times longer than text-based interactions. To enhance its capabilities, Gemini is also introducing deeper integrations with Google Maps, Calendar, Tasks, and Keep, allowing the AI to take actions such as scheduling events directly from conversations.
The tech giant also announced new subscription tiers to cater to a diverse range of users. The Google AI Pro plan, priced at $19.99 per month, is designed as an upgrade to the existing Gemini Advanced subscription. For power users, Google is offering the Google AI Ultra subscription at $249.99 per month, providing the highest rate limits and early access to experimental features. Subscribers to the Google AI Ultra plan also gain access to Veo 3, Google's advanced video generation model with native sound effect support.
A key highlight of the announcement is Veo 3, the latest AI video model capable of generating synchronized audio, including dialogue, background noise, and music, directly within video outputs. Google is also testing Flow, a new video creation platform that allows users to create videos from text, frames, or ingredients, indicating a move towards modular pipelines with project-based workflows. Additionally, Google is exploring "AI Mode" in Google Search and developing Jules, an asynchronous coding agent, to further expand the capabilities of its AI ecosystem.
