Asking for Gemini’s help on Android is getting a lot prettier
- Google is rolling out a new floating overlay panel for Gemini on Android devices, featuring a subtle glow animation.
- The panel allows Gemini responses to appear within the current app and enables a contextual understanding of on-screen content.
- The update also includes a new “Ask about this video” chip that lets users ask questions about YouTube videos directly.
Google recently unveiled a series of exciting updates for its AI assistant, Gemini, during the Pixel 9 series launch event. While the introduction of Gemini Live mode stole the spotlight, Gemini is also getting a shiny new floating overlay panel for Android. (h/t: 9to5Google)
This new interface, currently being rolled out to Android users, features a visually pleasing glow animation that surrounds the panel whenever Gemini is activated. This subtle glow not only looks neat but is also a sign that your Gemini’s got a new trick up its sleeve: a contextual overlay that understands what you’re up to without taking over your whole screen.
