# AI Quick Tips 353: Gemini Live API, you didn’t even know you wanted to use this…

 July 16, 2026

![Picture of Damien Griffin](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/20cb51297a34e5d5d7c3362ec1fae755) [Damien Griffin](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/author/damien)

![AI Quick Tips](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/hubfs/AI%20Quick%20Tips-1.jpg)

This is a new-ish Google AI feature that is still in “Preview”. It allows you to have “low-latency, real-time voice and vision interactions with Gemini. It processes continuous streams of audio, images, and text to deliver immediate, human-like responses , creating a natural conversational experience for your users”

This is one of those building blocks for interesting applications.

#### Some of the examples that they have are -

- AI education mentors and learner companions that provide personalized feedback
- Real-time translation of spoken languages
- Voice-enabled experiences in robotics and vehicles
- Customer support agents that resolve customer issues
- Etc.

 

So far, it supports 70 languages.

 

#### It also supports features like

- Tool use
- Google search, function calling, etc.
- Audio transcriptions
- Barge-in
- Users can interrupt the model at any time
- Proactive audio
- You can control when the model responds and in what contexts

You can try the Live API in Google AI Studio today - [aistudio.google.com](http://aistudio.google.com)

 

Just make sure you are in the playground and select - Gemini 3.5 Live Translate Preview on the model selector![Screenshot of the model selection interface in Google AI Studio with the "Live" category filter active. The selected option is "Gemini 3.5 Live Translate Preview • New", which includes a description highlighting it as a real-time speech-to-speech translation model delivering low latency translation for 70+ languages.](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jul-01-2026-07-34-30-8237-PM.png?width=554&height=373&name=undefined-Jul-01-2026-07-34-30-8237-PM.png)
