Gemini, the AI assistant integrated within the Google app, is evolving with exciting new features that enhance user experience. The latest update, version 16.23.69, introduces the ability for users to upload videos for AI-powered analysis, a capability that aligns Gemini more closely with popular AI tools like ChatGPT.
What you need to know
- Gemini in the Google app now supports video analysis, allowing users to upload videos for AI-powered insights.
- As seen in the latest APK teardown, users can upload videos up to five minutes long on the Gemini AI assistant chat.
- Future updates may include direct video analysis shot through the camera app.
According to an APK teardown conducted by Android Authority, this feature is currently rolling out gradually, with users expected to gain access soon. The process is straightforward: users can upload videos from their Android devices, with a maximum length of five minutes per video or a combination of multiple videos not exceeding this limit.
To utilize this feature, users simply need to tap the “plus” button in the Gemini text box and select a video from their gallery or files, provided the feature is available on their device. Once uploaded, Gemini will generate an analysis of the video, offering relevant insights and pointers.
While the current functionality is limited to file uploads, future updates may allow users to capture video directly through the camera app, streamlining the process even further. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for students who may want to record lectures or demonstrations, enabling them to receive concise summaries of the content later.
Handy new way to get summaries
The introduction of video analysis marks a significant step forward for Gemini, providing users with a practical tool for summarizing video content. This feature not only enhances the utility of the AI assistant but also opens up new possibilities for users to engage with their recorded material more effectively.
As the technology continues to develop, there is hope that the five-minute upload limit will soon be lifted, allowing for even more extensive video analysis. With these advancements, Gemini is poised to become an indispensable companion for users navigating the complexities of video content in their daily lives.
