Gemini Live now allows users to access Google Calendar, Tasks, Keep, and Maps within real-time conversations on Android and iOS devices.
Why it matters: This integration elevates Gemini Live from a general information tool to a personalized assistant that can tap into users’ own data and help manage their daily tasks and schedules.
The details:
- Users can create Calendar events, set Tasks reminders, add notes to Keep, and access place details from Maps directly within Gemini Live.
- Samsung devices also have access to Calendar, Notes, and Reminders.
- The integration works alongside video and screen sharing, allowing users to create new events based on perceived day/date details.
- App access is available on both stable and beta versions of the Google app on Android.
The rollout has been gradual, but users will see a chip above the fullscreen controls indicating the app name with a circular loading indicator when the feature is invoked. Some actions, like “List created,” offer an “Undo” button.
Users can directly reference the four Google apps to trigger access or use more general commands like “Do I have any reminders today?” to utilize the new capabilities.
The integration of Google’s popular productivity apps into Gemini Live conversations marks a significant step forward in the AI assistant’s ability to provide personalized and actionable assistance to users in their daily lives.
