Google rolls out Gemini Live with new voices for Android users and it is free so far

Google Gemini Live supports English only and has introduced 10 new voices for a more personalised experience. All these voices have different pitches and tones.

In Short

• Google Gemini, which was exclusive earlier, is now free for all
• Google AI can only communicate in English, but more languages are expected in future updates
• Gemini Live doesn’t yet include integrations like Gmail and YouTube Music

Google has now made Gemini Live available to all Android users, expanding access to its conversational AI assistant, which was previously limited to premium subscribers. Gemini Live allows for natural, fluid conversations where users can interrupt and change the topic mid-discussion. It can be used for brainstorming, answering questions, and more, directly through the Gemini app. The assistant also runs in the background, meaning you can multitask without keeping the app open.

One of the major highlights of this rollout is the addition of 10 new voices, allowing users to personalise their experience by choosing from options like "Nova" (calm, mid-range) or "Capella" (higher pitch with a British accent). While the current version is available in English, Google plans to roll out support for other languages and iOS soon.

Although Gemini Live doesn’t yet include integrations like Gmail and YouTube Music (part of the upcoming Gemini Extensions), users can expect these features in future updates. This broader rollout makes Gemini Live a powerful new tool for Android users looking for a more interactive AI experience.

• Nova – Calm and mid-range, ideal for relaxed conversations.
• Ursa – Engaged and mid-range, with a more interactive tone.
• Vega – Bright and higher-pitched, giving a lively and cheerful vibe.
• Pegasus – Engaged with a deeper tone, making it more authoritative.
• Orbit – Energetic and deeper, great for high-energy exchanges.
• Lyra – Bright and higher-pitched, similar to Vega but with a lighter tone.
• Orion – Bright and deeper, providing a confident yet approachable sound.
