Google Gemini is destined to fully replace Google Assistant on Android phones by the end of this year. Preparing for that transition, Google is continually upgrading the chatbot’s functionality, with a special emphasis on Gemini Live, which allows real-time conversations and a freer exchange of information compared to the standard interface. In this pursuit, Google is also optimizing the Gemini Live’s interface, and today, we’re looking at another step in this direction in the form of a sleeker and less obtrusive Gemini Live UI.
In recent months, we have witnessed Google experiment with a compact Gemini Live interface that occupies only a portion of the screen. Now, we’re seeing more updates to the overlay, which is now gaining support for other apps through extensions. The standard Gemini has supported extensions for apps such as Google Calendar, Keep, Maps, and Tasks for a long time, and Google recently rolled out support within Gemini Live.
