YouTube videos could soon become more engaging and informative thanks to the integration of Google’s Gemini AI. Unreleased code discovered within a beta version of the Google app for Android suggests that Gemini will enable users to have interactive conversations about YouTube videos and even PDFs.
The “Talk Live about video” feature will allow users to ask Gemini questions about the YouTube video they are currently watching. This could provide a deeper understanding of the content, clarify confusing points, or offer additional insights.
Similarly, the “Talk Live about PDF” feature will enable users to engage in conversations with Gemini about PDFs they are viewing. This could be particularly useful for students or researchers who want to quickly gather information or explore complex topics.
The integration of Gemini into YouTube and PDF viewing aligns with Google’s broader strategy to expand the AI’s capabilities and applications. Gemini is already slated to replace Google Assistant on Google TV in 2025 and is being tested for smart home control.
Gemini’s contextual understanding and ability to engage in live voice chat make it a powerful tool for enhancing various Google products and services. Its integration into YouTube and PDF viewing could significantly improve the way users interact with and learn from these media.
