The other, 'Project Astra,' was announced in December 2024 as a research prototype for a universal AI assistant. It is equipped with 'Gemini 2.0' and is characterized by its ability to understand video and audio in real time.

A Reddit user named Kien_PS reported that Gemini Live now understands and responds to video in real time.

According to Kien_PS, Gemini Live has a feature that allows you to show a screenshot to Gemini and ask about the screen, but a new button called 'Share screen with Live' has been added, and when you tap it, you can share the entire screen you are viewing on your smartphone with Gemini Live. The sharing is for the 'entire screen', and it is not possible to share a single app. Below is a screenshot posted by Kien_PS.

Gemini Live also has real-time access to the camera, so by switching to the front camera you can actually 'interact with Gemini in real time.'

9to5Google, the news site that reported this news, commented that while the feature isn't available in their environment yet, it makes sense for Google to slowly expand availability.
