Gemini is Google’s latest answer to multimodal AI, letting users upload various media types — images, audio, and video — for analysis and interaction. And like ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode, Gemini comes with a feature called Gemini Live, designed to make AI interactions feel more natural and human through voice-based chats.

Code found in the Google app suggests that Gemini can detect file uploads, whether they're done directly or via Google Drive. Once it picks up on it, Gemini will nudge you to switch to Gemini Live, where you can chat about what you want to do with the file.

Google's Gemini AI assistant is developing support for working with your files in its Live conversational mode.
