Google recently introduced a new Gemini Live feature that lets you interact with other Google apps during a conversation. The feature currently allows users to perform various actions within Google Maps, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks mid-conversation. However, we recently spotted evidence suggesting it could soon support additional apps, like YouTube, Spotify, WhatsApp, and Drive. Although support for these apps has yet to go live, Google has announced that the feature now works with a few Samsung apps.
Samsung today lifted the covers off the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE. The new devices are the first from the company to feature One UI 8 based on Android 16, which introduces a host of new Galaxy AI features. In addition, the phones bring a few new Google AI capabilities that will soon roll out to other Android phones. These include improvements for Circle to Search and support for Gemini Live on the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s cover screen.
Furthermore, Samsung’s latest phones are the first to bring Gemini Live integration for three stock One UI apps. Google says Gemini Live on these devices will allow users to perform actions within Samsung Calendar, Notes, and Reminders.
Although the company has not shared a complete list of supported actions, we believe the feature will allow users to create calendar entries, reminders, and notes during conversations. It’s not yet clear if users will also be able to edit or retrieve information from existing calendar entries, reminders, and notes. However, Google has confirmed that it plans to add support for apps from more device makers in the future.
