Currently, Gemini Live does not support Gemini Apps, which limits its ability to integrate with external services. Google is actively working on enabling this feature, but specific details about the rollout timeline and the initial apps to be supported remain unclear. Gemini Live offers a unique way to interact with Google’s AI chatbot, allowing a conversational flow similar to speaking with a real person.
This feature eliminates the need for phrases like “hey Google” before every interaction, making conversations feel more natural. However, it currently lacks access to Gemini Apps, which are essential for connecting the AI to various applications and services, such as smart home devices or music streaming platforms. Recent insights from an APK teardown conducted by Android Authority suggest that this may change soon.
The teardown of the latest beta version of the Google app indicates that Google is working on integrating Gemini Apps into the Gemini Live interface. The code revealed references to “EXTENSIONS_ON_LIVE_PHASE_ONE,” implying that this integration will happen in stages, with some applications available after the initial release and others introduced later. While the teardown provides tantalizing hints about this upcoming feature, it doesn’t specify which apps will be included or when users can expect the enhanced functionalities.
With Google I/O set to occur in just a couple of weeks, there is hope that further announcements regarding Gemini Apps and their integration with Gemini Live will be made then, potentially unveiling more about this exciting development.
