Hello! I'm John from AI GPT Journal, a blog that brings you the latest information on AI technology. The world of AI is evolving day by day, and one thing that has been gaining attention recently is AI technology that can converse as naturally as if it were a human. Today, I'd like to talk about the latest AI technology developed by Google,Gemini Live" and its core "AI voice function" is easy to understand even for those new to AI, andAI GPT Journal" I would like to delve deeper into the appeal and possibilities of AI, including the perspective of recording and utilizing conversations and learnings with AI. I would be happy if I can help you change your image of AI, which seems difficult, to "AI is so useful and fun!"

Basic information: Gemini Live, AI Voice, and its relationship with AI GPT Journal

What is Gemini Live? A brief overview of AI voice technology

first,"Gemini LiveLet's start by talking about what Gemini Live is. Gemini Live is a high-performance AI model family developed by Google called Gemini.AI assistant function that enables real-time voice dialogueIt may be easier to understand if you think of it as an evolved version of the AI ​​chatbot "Bard" previously offered by Google (in fact, Bard has been merged and renamed to Gemini).

As the name "Live" suggests, the biggest feature of Gemini Live isYou can have a smooth, uninterrupted conversation, just like talking to a real person on the phone.Unlike conventional AI assistants, where you say something, the AI ​​responds, and then you say something again, this system allows for more natural and continuous communication.

This natural conversation is made possible by advanced "AI voice technologyIt integrates technologies such as "Speech-to-Text," which converts human speech into text data, "Large Language Model (LLM)," which uses AI to understand the meaning of the text and generate a response, and "Text-to-Speech," which converts the AI-generated text response into natural speaking voice. These technologies work together instantly, allowing us to "talk" to Gemini Live.

Problem to be solved: Why is AI voice technology like Gemini Live attracting attention now?

So, what problems can AI voice technology like Gemini Live help solve for us?

• A more natural and intuitive way to interact with AI：There are many situations where talking is faster and easier than typing on a keyboard. Gemini Live meets the needs of those who want to use AI hands-free and communicate with AI more easily.
• Barrier-free access to informationVoice interfaces are also invaluable for people with literacy or visual impairments, helping children learn new things through storytelling (some parents actually use Gemini to explain the world to their kids!) and keeping them informed while multitasking.
• Improving the quality of communicationIf AI can gain a deeper understanding of context and speak with human-like intonation and pacing, it could become more than just an information search tool; it could feel like a good advisor or assistant.

The goal of AI voice technology like Gemini Live is to enable more human-like, warmer interactions, which have been difficult to achieve with text-based AI to date.

Unique Features: Gemini Live's unique strengths

Gemini Live has some unique features compared to other AI assistants:

• Natural conversations in real timeAs mentioned above, it enables smooth voice dialogue with little delay. You can expect to be able to interrupt the other person and respond in line with the flow of the conversation.
• Advanced contextual understanding: The Gemini model itself has a high level of contextual understanding, so it can remember the flow of a conversation even in a long one and respond appropriately. This creates a natural feeling, as if you were talking to a human.
• Multimodal integrationGemini is originally a "multimodal AI" that can understand not only text, but also images, audio, and video. Gemini Live will begin in May 2025.Ability to share camera and screen on smartphones (Android and iOS)Now available. This makes it possible to ask questions such as "How do I use this?" by showing an object with the camera, or to be shown how to operate it by showing the smartphone screen. This is very revolutionary!
• Integration with Google servicesIntegration with the Google Chrome browser has also been announced (May 2025), and we can expect even more seamless integration with various Google services (Gmail, Calendar, Maps, etc.) in the future.
• Available for freeAmazingly, this highly functional Gemini Live will be available from May 2025, 5.It's free for all Android and iOS usersThis has made it possible for many people to easily experience the latest AI technology.

Involvement with AI GPT Journal: Recording and deepening "dialogue with AI"

Now, here "AI GPT JournalLet me mention the term "AI GPT Journal". This is not a specific AI product name, but it is a term that we at AI GPT Journal (this blog) propose.This is a concept and approach in which interactions with AI and the lessons learned from them are carefully recorded, reviewed, and utilized, just like a personal "journal."It refers to the idea that when you interact with an AI like Gemini Live and make a new discovery or come up with an idea, you can record it and look back on it later or develop it further, rather than just treating it as a passing experience. Gemini Live itself does not have a direct "journal function," but we hope you will take this "AI GPT Journal" perspective as a way of preparing yourself and using it to make your interactions with AI more meaningful.

Usage fees and availability: Making AI accessible to everyone

Gemini Live Pricing and Access

As I mentioned earlier, one of the great attractions of Gemini Live isEase of access.

• Usage FeesBasic Gemini Live features will be available from May 2025FreeThis allows anyone, from students to business people, and even those new to AI, to easily experience the latest AI voice assistant.
• Supported platforms : Android smartphones and iOS devices (iPhone, etc.)You can start using the Gemini Live voice interaction function by downloading the dedicated "Gemini" app.
• About Gemini Advanced: Google also offers a paid plan called "Gemini Advanced" that allows you to use more powerful AI models (e.g. Gemini Ultra). The free version of Gemini Live is quite powerful, but users who want more advanced features and performance can consider this plan. However, this article focuses mainly on Gemini Live, which is available for free.

In this way, providing AI widely and free of charge will greatly advance the democratization of AI technology. It is expected that by exposing more people to AI, new ways of using it will emerge and understanding of the technology will deepen.

How it works: Why does Gemini Live sound so natural?

A simple explanation of AI technology: LLM and multimodal AI

Gemini Live uses some advanced AI technology behind its natural conversations. There are some technical terms, but I'll explain them one by one in an easy-to-understand way.

• Large Language Model (LLM): This is the "brain" of Gemini Live. LLM is an AI that has acquired the ability to understand language and generate sentences like humans by studying a huge amount of text data on the Internet (books, articles, websites, etc.). "Gemini" itself is a type of LLM and is known to be very high-performance. It can answer questions appropriately, summarize sentences, and come up with new ideas.
• Multimodal AIOne of the major features of Gemini is its multimodality. "Multi" means "multiple" and "modal" means "style/type."AI that can simultaneously understand and process multiple different types of information, including images, audio, video, and even programming codeIt's this multimodal AI that allows Gemini Live to understand what it sees through your camera and give advice on what's being shown in your screen share.
• Speech-to-Text: When we talk to Gemini Live, the voice recognition technology first converts our voice into text data. This is the function that "converts what you say into the microphone into text."
• Text-to-Speech: Speech synthesis technology converts the responses (text data) thought up by LLM into natural human speech. It is now possible to go beyond simply reading text aloud and also express emotions and intonations, contributing to a more human-like conversation experience.

These technologies work seamlessly together and are incredibly fast, enabling Gemini Live to have natural conversations with you in real time.

Gemini Live's unique technology: real-time and interactive

In addition to the basic AI technology mentioned above, there are some unique technical innovations that make Gemini Live "Live."

• Low Latency Processing: "Latency" refers to the time lag between when we speak and when the AI ​​responds. Gemini Live minimizes this latency, allowing for smooth conversation without compromising the tempo of the conversation.
• Interruption Handling：When people talk to each other, sometimes the other person interrupts them. Gemini Live is designed to recognize interruptions and continue the conversation even when the user is in the middle of speaking.
• Long Context Understanding: The ability to remember previous topics and information and respond based on that, even when the conversation continues for a long time. This allows for deeper dialogue rather than superficial responses.
• Visual information processing using camera and screen sharing: The ability to show real-world objects and situations to AI through a smartphone or PC camera, or share the device screen to convey the displayed content to AI, is a technology that makes the saying "seeing is believing" come true. This allows AI to understand complex situations that are difficult to convey verbally alone, and allows for more accurate support.

Development team and community: trust and reach

Developer: Google DeepMind

Gemini and Gemini Live are developed by:Google DeepMindGoogle DeepMind is known as one of the world's leading organizations in the field of AI research and development.
