Exploring Real-Time AI Podcast Conversations with Google NotebookLM

Real-Time Vision, Reasoning, and Collaboration on My Desktop

https://jamesgray.substack.com/p/google-gemini-20-multimodal-live

🔥 Last week, Google dropped the Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental model, and it’s nothing short of revolutionary. One standout feature?

The Multimodal Live API—a game-changer that can see, reason, and interact with you in real time through voice. 🚀

In this demo, I take you into Google AI Studio to experience Gemini 2.0 in action.

Here’s what you can do:

1️⃣ Talk to Gemini through your microphone and have it respond instantly.

2️⃣ Use your webcam to show Gemini what to focus on and watch it process visuals on the fly.

3️⃣ Share your screen and let Gemini reason and interact with your content in real time.

This is next-level AI you’ve got to see to believe.

🎥 Dive in and I hope you find an interesting use case for this.
