10 Exciting Announcements from Google for India Event 2024

Google's Gemini Live Launches In Hindi, With Eight More Indian Languages to Follow

During the Google for India event on October 3, 2024, Google announced a series of new artificial intelligence (AI) technologies tailored specifically for India. This development is exciting for both tech enthusiasts and everyday users. A significant highlight of this announcement is the introduction of Gemini Live in Hindi, a component of Google's innovative AI chatbot. This step signifies a move towards democratizing powerful AI technology, with plans to incorporate eight additional Indian languages in the future.

Gemini Live will soon be available in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, and Urdu, expanding its language options. Previously limited to Gemini Advance members, this feature is now open to all Android users, enabling more natural and fluid interactions. Moreover, Google has added ten new speech varieties to Gemini Live, enhancing the overall user experience.

New Features in Google's AI Offerings

Alongside the launch of Gemini Live in Hindi, Google has introduced AI-generated summaries for Google Maps and an AI Overview feature in Google Search that supports video content. The AI Overview feature, found in Search Labs, enables users to capture a video using Google Lens and receive AI-generated summaries based on the video's content. For instance, users can film a cooking tutorial and request tips or guidance!

Earlier this year, Google rolled out the AI Overview feature to all users following successful testing as part of its Search Generative Experience. This feature streamlines information, providing valuable reference links and enhancing the search process by moving away from conventional methods of displaying multiple website links simultaneously.
