Google Integrates Gemini Live with Core Apps, Enhancing AI Assistant Capabilities

You can try Gemini Live in your favorite Google apps now, and it blew me away

The feature was available for some users, but now appears available for most. In May of this year, Google debuted Gemini Live with screen sharing and camera access for Android. Google has been slowly integrating the feature, which lets you ask Gemini about anything on your screen (or that you can see with your camera), into its suite of apps since June. Gemini Live is getting a little more useful this week, as it's officially rolling out for Calendar, Keep, Maps, and Tasks apps. Also: Gemini adds powerful new Deep Think model - what it does and who can try it First noticed by 9to5Google, most users are now seeing Google's real-time AI voice assistant across new apps. You can tell if the update has hit your device by opening the Gemini app, tapping the Live button in the bottom right corner, and looking directly above the Live controls. If you have the capability, you'll see small chips for the connected apps when Gemini Live is accessing them. With Calendar, you can check your events for the day, make a new event with your voice, and even use your camera to point at details (like date and time) to add that event to your calendar. I gave this a quick test with a flyer for a school event, and I was surprised at how easy it was. Also: Have stock questions? Google Finance tests new AI chatbot What really blew me away, though, was when I tried it with my alma mater's football schedule for the upcoming fall season. I asked Gemini to add all the home games since I'm a season ticket holder. The AI was able to discern which games were home games and add the events to my calendar, including time and opponent. Live even went down the list, recapping, "I've added games against App State, Georgia, Army... to your Calendar." Gemini Live for Maps is useful for getting guidance to a certain spot, and it even works with other Google apps. I asked Live to "guide me to the event that's on my calendar today" (the same school event I added earlier), and it showed me the way. It didn't pull up Maps by itself, but it did create a link I could easily tap to get going. When it comes to Tasks, Gemini Live can show your saved lists. You could do this on your own easily by pulling up the Tasks app, but Live is an easier way to access your lists. I was able to add tasks to my list and see what was on my to-do list. Similar to Tasks, Keep's integration with Google Live is simple but makes an existing capability a little easier to access. I was able to add notes to Keep. The new capability is available on both the Android and iOS versions of Gemini Live. Also: Google's Jules AI coding tool exits beta with serious upgrades - and more free tasks As a reminder, you can turn off Gemini in your Gmail, Docs, Photos, and more if you'd rather not have anything to do with Google's AI.

Gemini Live is finally able to interact with other Google apps in real-time

The feature is starting to roll out to those using the Gemini app on both Android and iOS. Gemini Live is getting a significant upgrade with the ability to interact with other Google apps. Following the announcement at I/O 2025, Google has been testing support for various apps, including Calendar, Keep notes, Maps, and Tasks, for several weeks now, and it is now starting to roll out more widely. Gemini Live can interact with other apps through app-specific extensions, which have already been present in the standard version of Gemini. However, now with support for Live, you can instruct the AI chatbot not only to pull out information from supported apps, but also interrupt it midway and change your query or ask an entirely unrelated question without waiting for the commands to process sequentially. The wider rollout was spotted by 9to5Google, and I now have it on various devices running Android 15 or 16. Now, when you interact with Gemini Live and ask it about information possibly residing in any of the four apps, i.e., Calendar, Keep, Maps, and Tasks, the app's name will appear in a toast message. An incomplete circle can be seen rotating next to the app's name while the information is being processed. While we had previously also spotted support for app snippets in Gemini Live alongside extensions, that feature has yet to go live. But besides Android, where the update does not appear tied to a specific app version, Google is also reportedly extending support to the Gemini app on iOS. Meanwhile, we await an update on support for third-party apps through Gemini Live, something that Apple is also working on with the upcoming Siri update.

Gemini Live now works with Google apps like Maps, Keep, Tasks, and Calendar - Phandroid

Gemini Live can now work directly with some of Google's core apps in real time. The AI chatbot is gaining the ability to fetch information and interact with four apps: Maps, Keep notes, Tasks, and Calendar, on both Android and iOS. Google announced the expansion at I/O 2025 and has been quietly testing it for weeks. The rollout is now picking up speed. Gemini Live taps into each app using extensions, which are already part of the standard Gemini experience. When the AI is interacting with an app, you'll see its name appear in a toast notification along with a small circle that spins while it processes your request. With this update, you can ask Gemini Live to pull up your Calendar schedule, find saved notes, check off a task, or get directions without switching apps. You can also interrupt it mid-command to change your question or start a new one without waiting for the first to finish. Reports indicate this works on devices running Android 15 or 16, and it's also available on iOS. Google is also working on adding app snippets to Gemini Live, although support for third-party apps is still unclear. And if you're looking to test Gemini Live on a new phone, something like the Pixel 9, which already gets exclusive AI perks, could make the experience even smoother.

Gemini Live Can Now Answer Queries About Google Calendar, Maps and Tasks

Gemini Live can check the route to a location via Maps These features were first announced at Google I/O in May Users can set a new Calendar event via Gemini Live Gemini Live is finally being integrated with several first-party Google apps. The real-time two-way voice mode feature within the Gemini app can now connect to apps like Google Calendar, Maps, and Tasks to perform specific tasks. This capability was first announced by the Mountain View-based tech giant at Google I/O in May, and it is now being rolled out to users widely. Notably, the feature is available to all users, including paid subscribers and those using the free tier of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. In May, snippets of code relating to this feature were seen in the Google app, hinting that the company was working on it. According to a 9to5Google report, some users began seeing this feature in June; however, most did not get access to it at the time. It appears that now Gemini Live's integration with Google's Calendar, Maps, and Tasks apps is rolling out to all users. Gemini Live connecting to Google Maps to answer a query Gadgets 360 staff members were able to access the feature, and it works efficiently. When users make a query to Gemini Live, whose answer can benefit from access to one of these apps, the AI chatbot will automatically connect with it. Alternatively, users can also trigger the connection by explicitly instructing Gemini Live to use the app. In our testing, when we instructed the chatbot to find a route to a location via Google Maps, it immediately connected us to it. Notably, whenever it connects to an app, an icon suggesting the same appears at the bottom of the screen. Then, after the session has ended, users can find a small box in the app and a glimpse of the information they requested. Users can click on it to be redirected to the app and check the created Calendar entry, new Task, or the route on Maps. Notably, the feature is available on both Android and iOS. Last month, the Mountain View-based tech giant introduced the real-time captions feature in Gemini Live, allowing users to read the responses while the chatbot spoke the response. These captions also automatically turn on when the device volume is low or muted.
