From being inaccurate to competing with ChatGPT, Google Gemini has come a long way. The tech giant’s AI chatbot can not only leverage information from Google services to offer more personalised answers, but can also generate incredible images.
Another powerful but much less used feature is Gemini Live, which allows users to engage in a “natural free-flowing conversation” with the AI chatbot. While many of us are already familiar with Gemini Live, here are some creative ways you can use the feature to get the most out of it.
Practice presentations and interviews
If your job requires you to regularly or periodically give presentations to a group of people, Gemini Live can come in really handy.
Simply tap on the Live button from the app and start speaking to the AI chatbot like you would to a group of people. You can then ask the AI chatbot to give you feedback about your pacing, clarity and ask it if you are presenting your points in an easy-to-understand manner.
Gemini Live can also double up as an interview coach, in the sense that you can give the AI chatbot information about the company and tell it to ask mock questions that the interviewer may potentially ask you.
Taking notes, creating to-do lists, and scheduling tasks
Many of us use Gemini Live to ask it information about the world around us, but it can also double up as a pretty good alternative to your notes, to-do and calendar apps.
For example, you can start Gemini Live and tell it what you are planning to buy while walking to a grocery store. Also, instead of typing out your to-do list, you can talk to Gemini Live in a natural manner and verbally organise your day, set reminders, and even plan steps to your project.

This is pretty intuitive since you don’t have to break your workflow and talk to the AI chatbot while taking a stroll, making food, or doing daily chores.
Learn new skills and languages
Gemini Live is also pretty good at teaching. With the new update, Google says the AI chatbot can now help you learn new languages, learn new skills and understand complex topics.
For example, you can ask Gemini Live to tell you about a complex topic on your way to class and even ask it to help you practice and perfect words and sentences in the language you are trying to learn.
Gemini can also speed up or slow down the speech, and users can also interrupt the AI chatbot with questions about things they don’t understand.

Visual help
Since Gemini Live can look at the world around you using the camera, the AI chatbot is really useful if you want to organise things, getting opinions about your outfit and organise things in your room.
For example, you can show what you have in your wardrobe, tell it where you are going and ask it for suggestions based on the occasion and weather.
Users can also show Gemini their room and where a certain object should go and get tips for improving the overall look of a place.
Hear stories and test accents
Gemini Live’s latest update brings improvements to the AI chatbot’s voice model with more feelings and variation to its storytelling capabilities. This means users can now ask Gemini Live to tell them bedtime stories, brainstorm creatively and even give history lessons.

Also, Gemini Live can now speak in different accents. For example, you ask the AI chatbot to tell stories with a British accent or get the history of the Wild West in a cowboy accent. This can also come in handy for hearing words and phrases just like native speakers.
