You could soon watch a YouTube video with an AI-powered companion. According to unreleased code found by Android Authority, Google is planning to add Gemini to converse with you about YouTube videos and even PDFs.
Talk Live With Gemini
Android Authority was able to find some interesting information in a beta release of the Google app for Android:
With Google app v16.1.38 beta, in addition to file uploads in Gemini Live, we managed to activate two more features: “Talk Live about video” and “Talk Live about PDF.”
Talk Live about video lets you get chatty with Gemini, with a YouTube video providing context for the conversation.
Talk Live about PDF works in the same manner as demonstrated in the video above, but instead of a YouTube video, the source context is a PDF that is open on your device.
The big advantage is that you can summon Gemini from the YouTube app or even a PDF reader to quickly get all of your questions answered.
A Natural Edition to YouTube
Being able to ask Gemini a question when watching a YouTube video, or even a PDF, seems to be a natural addition to Google’s AI.
While Gemini is just one of the many AI models available in the world of ChatGPT, Claude, and more, its power is underrated. There are a number of reasons to check out Gemini like its extensive contextual understanding, unlimited live voice chat, and more.
Google is planning to extend Gemini’s reach in a number of other areas. Instead of Google Assistant, Gemini will become the voice of Google TV in 2025.
If you’re a student, Gemini’s Deep research feature, available to anyone who pays for Gemini Advanced, can do hours of research for you in just a few minutes.
Google is also currently testing adding Gemini to smart home control to help you better manage devices like lighting.
