Google Gemini's latest update adds a glow to the AI and unlocks handy new 
tools.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Following the major Google Gemini AI teases at Made By Google  which also 
introduced us to the Google Pixel 9 and six other new Google devices  Gemini 
just got an update thats rolling out to older Android devices. 

This update was teased back at Google I/O with the promise that Geminis 
responses wont take up your whole screen. Instead, itll now automatically 
appear as a glowing overlay thats less disruptive (via 9to5Google ). 
Alongside the updated look, there are new tools like the ability to ask for 
context about whats happening in the video youre watching on YouTube or 
generally showing on your screen. 

Its not quite as sophisticated as what the brand new Gemini Live will give 
you, but this feature will be available to all Gemini users, whether theyre 
accessing it for free or as a Gemini Advanced subscriber (unlike Live, which 
is paid). 

If you still appreciate the full-screen Gemini experience, its just a button 
press away. You can tap the icon in the top right corner of the prompt box to 
turn the assistant to full-screen mode. (Image credit: Google) 

Updating your Gemini experience should be happening automatically right now, 
with this update hitting phones gradually. So, if you dont see a glowing 
Gemini prompt box yet, you might just need to wait a little longer. If it 
makes you feel better, our devices havent updated yet, but many online have, 
so hopefully, we wont be left waiting for much longer. 

You should also soon get the Gemini contextual extensions for apps like 
Calendar and Tasks in the coming weeks  per Google. This will allow the AI to 
use information from across your Google services to provide more 
sophisticated answers seen in the live Made by Google in which someone could 
ask Gemini if theyre free when Sabria Carpenter's tour is coming to their 
town. 

Even more Gemini updates should be hitting our devices in the coming months, 
so be on the lookout for those. This long-promised AI revolution looks to 
finally be arriving in full force, with AI assistants that actually feel 
helpful. You might also like Google Pixel 9 review Google Gemini is the
