Today, we’re expanding Search Live [8] globally to all languages and
locations [3] where AI Mode is available. Now, people in more than 200
countries and territories can have interactive conversations with Search
in AI Mode, using both voice and camera.
This expansion is enabled by our new audio and voice model, Gemini 3.1
Flash Live [2], which delivers even more natural and intuitive
conversations. The new model is also inherently multilingual, which
means that people around the world can now speak with Search in their
preferred language.
BRINGING SEARCH LIVE TO MORE PEOPLE
Search Live is designed for those moments when you need real-time help,
and typing out a query just won’t cut it. To go Live with Search,
simply open the Google app on Android [9] or iOS [10] and tap the Live
icon under the Search bar. From there, you can ask your question out
loud to get a helpful audio response, then continue the conversation
with follow-up questions or dive deeper with helpful web links.
If you want to ask about something in front of you, like how to install
a new shelving unit, you can enable your camera to add visual context.
This way, Search can see what your camera sees and offer helpful
suggestions, plus links to more information on the web.
You can also access Search Live if you’re already pointing your camera
with Google Lens [11] — just tap the Live option at the bottom of the
screen to have a real-time, back-and-forth conversation about what you
see in the real world.
We’re always working to make Search more helpful, and we’re excited to
see how people around the world use Search Live to learn, explore and
get things done.
