Instead of requiring fixed command phrases, the speaker understands natural requests, follows context, and handles multiple instructions in one sentence.
Users can correct themselves mid-speech without restarting a command.
The speaker offers 10 new voice options for more natural responses. Gemini can answer complex questions by combining information from multiple sources and reasoning through steps.
