- The Google app’s latest beta includes code for a new contextual selection feature, similar to Circle to Search, for use within Gemini Live.
- During Gemini Live screen-sharing sessions, users will soon be able to summon a movable pencil button that lets them select specific on-screen elements for improved context targeting for their conversation with AI.
- Unlike the unconfirmed “Circle Screen” button seen earlier in internal builds, this live circle-selection tool has working functionality present in public betas.
Last week, we spotted Google accidentally sharing an unreleased Circle Screen feature within Gemini as part of a dogfood build. We presumed the feature could bring Circle to Search-like abilities to Gemini. It seems Google is indeed thinking along the same lines but with a different implementation.
