Google unveiled AI features and the extensive Gemini suite at the Galaxy S25 launch event last night. Many of these features are the epitome of innovation for the Galaxy S25 at one point in time, akin to the Circle to Search feature from years past.
Gemini Live is the personal voice assistant that now allows for image, file, and video input from YouTube to provide additional information to Gemini. It can summarize content from YouTube clips and answer inquiries based on captured images. This feature is compatible with the S24, S25, and Pixel 9 initially, with plans to expand to other Android devices in the future.
Gemini Live can also be accessed instantly from the side button (Power button) of the Galaxy S25. Will Bixby make a comeback?
The standout feature is the Gemini Extension, an extension of Gemini that commands various apps. It currently supports several Samsung apps, such as Samsung Reminder, Samsung Calendar, Samsung Notes, Samsung Clock, apart from Google’s apps. Users can schedule appointments, set alarms, and make notes promptly with Gemini.
Circle to Search seamlessly integrates with the AI Overviews feature, eliminating the need for traditional search to access links (goodbye SEO). The circular image on the screen provides AI Overviews that summarize answers right away.
TLDR:
Google introduced AI features and the versatile Gemini suite during the Galaxy S25 launch. Gemini Live allows for voice dialogue with the addition of image, file, and video inputs from YouTube. The Gemini Extension supports various Samsung apps to streamline tasks. Circle to Search pairs with AI Overviews for quick summaries, bypassing traditional search methods.
