Holiday Ayo - Gemini AI is once again pushing the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the entertainment sector.

This time, the Mountain View-based tech giant is introducing Gemini Live as a gaming assistant on Google Play.

With this new feature, users can open a dedicated sidebar while playing games, complete with a Gemini Live button.

The AI assistant can "see" the game screen and provide contextualized tips without having to leave the app.

Google's move is said to be similar to Gaming Copilot, which was previously available on Microsoft's Xbox and Windows 11 apps.

The difference is that Gemini Live is available directly in mobile games via the Play Store, targeting hundreds of millions of Android gamers.

With this integration, players can ask questions using their voice while playing, and Gemini will respond audio.

For example, they can ask questions about how to get through difficult levels or quickly defeat certain bosses.

In addition to accessing Gemini, the in-game overlay also contains details about rewards, offers, and gamer achievements.

Google is also expanding the Google Play Games program on PC, which now supports more than 200,000 game titles across devices.

The Google Play Store also received significant updates. Game pages now display progress, achievements, and the latest developer updates.

Google even launched a Q&A feature on game pages, allowing players to share tips and tricks directly with each other.

The introduction of Gemini Live marks Google's aggressive strategy to strengthen the Play Store ecosystem.

Amid the trend of cross-platform gaming, this move could be a new attraction for gamers seeking a more immersive and interactive experience.

With AI acting as a "sidekick," Google appears to be aiming to become more than just an app store, but also a digital mentor for gamers.
