Gemini Live now speaks Ukrainian: examples of using AI assistant in everyday life

The personal AI assistant Gemini Live is now available in Ukrainian. This means you can engage in natural conversations with the assistant, receive answers to questions, complete tasks, and much more—all in your native language.

Starting today and over the coming weeks, Google is expanding Gemini Live on Android phones for the Ukrainian language. In the next few weeks, access to Gemini Live in Ukrainian will also be available on iOS devices. Gemini Live will support conversations in two languages on a single device. Users can set their preferred languages in the Google app:

• On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google app and tap your profile picture or initials at the top.

If desired, you can add a second supported language. Currently, you can set and use up to two languages with Gemini Live. Support for new languages in Gemini Live is being rolled out gradually.

Google highlights that users can talk to Gemini Live like a friend. You can generate ideas together, explore new topics, or prepare for an important presentation. All communication occurs through voice, akin to a normal conversation. Gemini Live can support your discussions, enabling shifts in conversation direction or deeper dives into specific topics.
