Exploring the Practical Applications of Gemini Live: A Week in Review

After dedicating a week to exploring Gemini Live, I aimed to transition from mere curiosity to practical integration into my everyday workflow. Contrary to expectations, I discovered several genuinely useful features that extend beyond the initial novelty of the tool.

Key Takeaways from My Experience

1. Enhanced Presentation Skills: One standout application was using Gemini Live for presentation practice. As I rehearsed my slides, the tool provided real-time feedback on my pacing—specifically alerting me when I was speaking too quickly. This feedback proved invaluable, surpassing the traditional method of practicing in front of a mirror.

2. Organizational Insights: I also experimented with a rather unconventional use case: directing the camera at my cluttered desk and soliciting suggestions for organization. Although it felt slightly trivial at first, the insights I received served as a practical starting point for tidying up my workspace. I found similar value in asking the AI whether two items would complement each other visually.

If you’re interested in a deeper dive into these applications and more, I’ve detailed my findings further in a dedicated blog post, which you can check out here.
