AI BriefingGoogle Preparing to Launch Gemini Live and Skills Features on Web Version
Key point
Google is preparing to expand Gemini Live, Gemini's real-time voice mode, and Skills, its user-customization feature, to the web and desktop environment.
Details
It appears that Google is preparing to add two major features to the web version and desktop environment of Gemini. A Gemini Live button, the real-time voice mode, was spotted in a recent build, suggesting an expansion beyond mobile into the desktop environment.
Additionally, the Skills feature, currently available only through the paid subscription service Gemini Spark, is expected to be integrated into regular chat as well. Skills are reusable instruction packages that can be applied to repetitive tasks, and regular users will be able to use the following functions.
- Upload custom Skills
- Select predefined Skills
- Build new Skills directly
- Automatically generate Skills through Gemini
This is a feature already offered by Claude and ChatGPT, and it will serve to narrow the gap in Google's AI assistant capabilities. However, the actual launch timing may vary depending on the model update schedule, including the delayed release of Gemini 3.5 Pro and the readiness of Gemini 3.6 Flash.
