Throughout a dwell demo on the Google I/O convention, we had been handled to a dialog between a Google Product Knowledgeable and Gemini Stay. A easy assertion and query comparable to “I’ve a job interview as a barista, however I’ve by no means been a barista earlier than. Are you able to give me some solutions?” was mentioned, and Gemini instantly started working providing solutions on how you can prepare for this job interview. Options included issues like watching movies on how you can make some easy drinks and practising how you can make them at house first, which made quite a lot of sense. The dialog appeared pure, nearly such as you had been speaking to a different human.
Nonetheless, the demo hit a pause when the Pixel system that was getting used instantly misplaced connection to Wi-Fi and Gemini stopped responding. It was attention-grabbing to see how the presenter recovered from this technical issue, however jokingly (however not jokingly) including that this positively solutions whether or not this runs solely on-device. The reply is “No,” clearly. Gemini Stay has a cloud element that wants an web connection with a purpose to work, very like Gemini on Android in the present day.
The capabilities had been nonetheless outstanding, and will one thing like dropping your web connection interrupt your movement, you possibly can all the time decide up the place you left off because of Gemini holding an in depth historical past of its conversations with you. That, in fact, could be a sticking level for privateness aware customers.
