hello everyone and welcome to the channel Google just released one of the most exciting Gemini features which is the ability to use a live camera stream or screen sharing to ask real-time questions about what you see This is Project Astra that Google first announced in the IO event and it finally made its way to the public In today's video I will put it into action to show you how it works and if it's any useful in day-to-day usage To start you need to open Gemini then tap the live button If you have the feature available you will find two new options added to the list The first one is for the camera while the second is used for the screen sharing This functionality is only available for Gemini advanced subscribers at least for now So let's start with the video stream And here I will show you multiple scenarios Gemini do you know the make model of this light i don't remember That's a cool light It looks like a Lifesmart Coloite Pro Is there anything specific you'd like to know about it is it still available for sale can I still buy this product yes the LifeSmart Colite Pro is still available for purchase You can find it on various online marketplaces like Amazon or specialty lighting stores In this scenario it was able to identify the product correctly and gave me all the information I need So let's try something else Can you tell me about this gray phone in the frame that's a Nokia Lumia 920 It was one of the first phones to have wireless charging builtin What else would you like to know about it unfortunately this one was incorrect The phone I have is the Nokia Lumia 925 not the 920 So let's give it another chance Hi Gemini This is the first time to use a GoPro camera Can you see the model yep That's a GoPro Hero 12 Black It's a really popular action camera Are you looking for some tips on how to get started with it yes I want you to give me some help with the video settings Uh so here are the settings I Okay I see the video settings I just want to know more about the different modes over here It says L+ LW and SV Can you explain them sure L+ is for linear plus horizon leveling which keeps your footage stable and level L is just linear correcting the wide-angle look W is wide capturing a large field of view and SV is super view the widest and most immersive option Do you want to know more about any specific mode uh yeah I just want to make my video like uh without with the least distortion possible If you want to minimize distortion the L setting is your best bet It corrects the wide-angle distortion giving you a more natural looking image Does that make sense or would you like me to explain it a bit more thankfully it did handle the GoPro scenario really well and it was able to explain the different camera modes and settings Now let's try how well it works with landmarks Can you see a mosque in the frame yes I can see a mosque in the distance near the center of the frame Would you like to know more about it yes please I'm wondering what's the name of this mosque That appears to be the Shik Zed Ajan mosque It's a beautiful landmark with stunning architecture Did you have any other questions about the mosque or the surrounding area again that was another mistake The mosque name is not Z as mentioned but it's called Ahmed as shown now on the screen I'm also wondering about this hotel Can you give me more information about it like how many stars and the rating the Rison Blue Hotel Azan is a five-star hotel It generally gets good reviews especially for its location and friendly service Do you want to know more about its amenities or see some specific reviews in contrast it was able to handle this one correctly and give me all the information I need Now let's try something outdoors Hi Gemini Do you know this mall gemini can you hear me yes that's City Center Aman It's a popular shopping mall in the area Are you looking for something specific there i'm just wondering if it has a Samsung store Yes City Center Aman has a Samsung store It's a Samsung brand shop so you'll find a good selection of phones tablets and accessories there I'm just wondering does it have a boss store i'm not finding a boss store listed for city center You might want to check the mall's directory once you're inside just in case Again I can confirm that all the information I received were correct Imagine you are a tourist somewhere That would be a very useful way to get around Now let's try the screen sharing feature And here I'm going to show you different scenarios I came across personally and how this feature did help me And here is the first one Let's say you are watching the Pixel 9a review and there are 343 comments on this video but you want to get an idea about the people's opinions and what are the questions they have without going through the 343 comments yourself So let's see if Gemini can help Here I have the Gemini chip at the top So Gemini can you see what I have on the screen gemini can you hear me yeah I can see the YouTube video you're looking at It's a review of the Nokia 9 Pure View and you're reading the comments Did you have any questions about the phone or the comments are you sure it's a review about the Nokia phone can you check again my bad It looks like you're watching a review of the Google Pixel 9a not the Nokia Did you have any questions about the Pixel 9a yes Here I have a lot of comments about 343 comments on this video and I want you to give me a summary about what what are people saying about this phone and what are the questions they have Okay I've looked through the comments People seem to be discussing a few main things about the Pixel 9a They're talking about its similarities to older Samsung phones especially regarding the modem and how that might affect network speeds There's also some debate about the bezels with some finding them too thick and others liking the symmetry Many are praising the camera particularly its performance with kids and pets and the overall value of the phone highlighting the Tensor G4 chip A few people are curious about the wallpaper and if it will be available for iOS Does this summary address your questions about the comments as you heard it thought at first that the video is about the Nokia Pure View which is funny and weird at the same time But after showing it the title it corrected itself and started to give me the answer I went through these comments myself and I can confirm that the answer is 100% accurate The only thing I didn't like in this experience is the long time it takes to answer my questions without giving me any audio feedback At first I thought it didn't hear me But it was actually loading So I hope Google will add some kind of audio feedback to let the user know what's going on But at the end it did exactly what I'm looking for and saved me some time So let's try the second scenario So let's say I want Gemini to help me activate a specific feature on my phone that I don't know where it's located under settings or how to do it myself So let's see if it can help Do you know my phone's make a model i can't quite tell the make and model from here Could you check your phone settings and let me know i have the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Ah the Pixel 9 Pro XL It's a great phone What can I help you with i'm trying to set my phone to automatically set itself to vibration mode once I reach work Can you help me achieve this sure I can help with that Since you have a Pixel we can use the rules feature First we'll need to turn on location services Then go to your system settings Choose sound and vibration and tap rules to set it up So now I'm going to settings and then sound and vibration But here I don't have anything called rules My bad It seems I've overlooked something Since you're using a Pixel phone you can actually use the do not disturb feature to automatically silence your phone at work Would you like me to walk you through the steps yes please Are you still there sure Let's get that set up Go back to your settings then tap location and then location services There you'll find work location Tap that Enter your work address and your phone will automatically switch to vibrate when you arrive Location and then location services and then Okay Okay I see the problem Work location isn't an option here Let's try this Go back to the main settings screen Tap security and privacy then privacy and you should find work profile location there There is nothing like I I think you are mixed up Can we get back to the rules feature and tell me where I can find rules under settings okay let's try this Go back to your settings then tap sound and vibration and look for rules near the bottom of the list Rules is not under sound and vibration I'm sure it's under something else Can you please check again you're right It seems I've been giving you the wrong information The rules feature isn't available on Pixel phones Instead you can use the do not disturb feature to automatically silence your phone at work Would you like me to walk you through the steps gemini let me tell you something Pixel phones have the rules feature and it's located under system When you scroll down you have rules but you told me it's somewhere else You told me it's under sound and vibration which is incorrect You're absolutely right and I apologize for the confusion The rules feature is indeed under system Now that we've located it are you ready to proceed with setting up your work rule Great You're in the right place Tap add rule then select location and enter your work address Next choose vibrate for the sound setting Now your phone will automatically switch to vibrate when you're at work Okay now I added my work and then Great Now that you've added your work location just select set device to vibrate and then tap add to save the rule Your phone will now automatically switch to vibrate mode when you're at work You need to improve your knowledge about Pixel phones By the way I completely agree with you Your feedback is valuable and I'm committed to improving I'll make sure to double check information about Pixel phones in the future to avoid any further errors Thank you Unfortunately in this scenario it was far from great It gave me the wrong steps many many times until I lost my temper and gave it the steps myself So it's a complete failure in this scenario But let's try one more In the third scenario let's say you saw something interesting online and you want to know more information about without the need to search it yourself But you can get the help of Gemini to do it for you So let's see how it's going to work Gemini do you know the make and model of this car that's a Koigseg Raera It's a pretty amazing hybrid sports car Are you interested in learning more about its specs or something else i want to know the engine specs and the acceleration and the top speed The Reggera has a twin turbo V8 engine and three electric motors producing over 1,500 horsepower It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 8 seconds and has a top speed of around 255 mph Are there any other specific details you're curious about is it a limited production car yes the Koigseg Reggera is a limited production car Only 80 units were made Are you interested in knowing how many are still on the road It's tough to say exactly how many reggeras are still on the road Do you want to know about how many Koigsegs are on the road in general okay Okay So Koigseg is a Swedish manufacturer that only made 80 riggeras Do you want to know how many Koigsegs are on the road in general yes It's tricky to say exactly how many Koig eggs are on the road today They're a small company that makes limited edition cars Would you like to know more about Koigseg as a company no thank you That's it for today In this scenario it was a little bit slow in replying back to me Plus it kept looping at the end of the conversation It kept asking me if I want to know the number of Frigera units on the road and when I say yes it comes back without an answer And it did it twice But overall it gave me the information I need So it was fine So that's everything I wanted to show you And it's obvious that the feature is far from perfect It did a lot of mistakes and sometimes it can be very slow but it was also useful in other cases I personally cannot rely on it and I hope to see it getting better over time when more people use it But at least it's a step in the right direction So please let me know in the comments
