One Week with Gemini Live: What Proven to Last

Exploring Gemini Live: A Week of Practical Applications

After dedicating a week to exploring the capabilities of Gemini Live, I set out to see if this AI tool could effectively integrate into my daily workflow beyond the typical “tell me a fun fact” interactions. To my surprise, I discovered several practical applications that proved to be genuinely beneficial rather than merely entertaining:

1. Enhancing Presentation Skills

One of the standout features for me was its utility in presentation practice. I found it incredibly valuable to rehearse my slides while receiving real-time feedback on my pacing. This feature allowed me to identify moments where I was speaking too quickly, which made for a more polished delivery. It offered a more dynamic alternative to practicing in front of a mirror.

2. Seeking Visual Organization Insights

Another use case that initially felt a bit whimsical was asking for organizational tips for my cluttered desk. While it seemed rather odd to point the camera at a messy space, the suggestions I received actually provided a solid starting point for decluttering. I also tested its ability to check for visual coherence between two items, which turned out to be quite helpful in making design decisions.

For those interested in a more in-depth exploration, I’ve detailed these use cases and more in a comprehensive blog post: Discovering Practical Applications of Gemini Live.

I’m curious to hear from others in the community—have you uncovered any unique, practical uses for the Gemini Live feature? Or do you still find it primarily serves as a source of amusement? Your insights would be invaluable as we navigate the potential of this innovative tool together!
