In an environment where information is generated in multiple formats, IT companies need tools that streamline access to and analysis of audiovisual content. Every day, teams participate in virtual meetings, attend webinars, or watch technical conferences that are recorded on video.
However, searching for specific information within hours of footage is a slow and inefficient task.
For example, a development team might need to review a two-hour webinar on the latest cybersecurity trends but only be interested in the section explaining new regulations. Similarly, a project manager may want to quickly locate the exact moment in a meeting recording where a key client requirement was discussed. Without a tool that efficiently analyses and extracts information from videos, these tasks can become tedious and unproductive.
Gemini’s advancements in video analytics
Google is taking a step in this direction by introducing video uploads to Gemini, its multimodal assistant. This new feature will allow users to upload video files directly to the assistant’s chat and facilitate various tasks without having to watch the entire material: generating summaries, identifying key points, or extracting relevant information.
The potential of this technology for businesses is enormous. IT teams will be able to overcome the current limitations of video analysis—previously available in Google’s generative AI only for YouTube links—by uploading their own video recordings.
Soon, users will be able to request summaries and pinpoint moments of interest within their videos. In addition to this video analysis capability, Google has introduced new functionalities for Gemini Live.
New video analytics features in Gemini Live
This year, at MWC Barcelona, Google showcased how AI in Android can help users better understand their surroundings with new live video and screen-sharing features in Gemini Live. These tools will become available to Gemini Advanced subscribers as part of the Google One AI Premium plan on Android devices by the end of this month.
With these new features, IT companies will be able to leverage Gemini Live so that attendees at a product presentation, for example, can focus on the stage and ask questions directly to the AI. Users will also be able to request Gemini Live to compare different products or features, highlighting key aspects such as technical specifications or competitive advantages.
Moreover, during a technical training session, participants will be able to share their screens to showcase complex configurations or software demonstrations, while the AI highlights important elements, such as lines of code or crucial steps.
All of this marks a significant advancement in the development of Gemini’s AI, enhancing its ability to support users and presenting a valuable opportunity for businesses.
