A while back, Google Gemini brought real-time responses for the web. This means that you’re able to see the response being typed out as the model is generating it. This contrasted with how the company used to simply show the text all at once. Well, according to a noted leaker, it appears that the Gemini app will also be getting real-time responses.
Though it may not seem like it with shorter responses, this feature definitely comes in handy with longer responses. If you’re looking to generate an entire essay or story, you’re going to want to get an idea of whether Gemini is going in the right direction. If Gemini generates the entire text at once, you may have to wait a few minutes before you can start reading it.
However, with real-time responses, you’ll start seeing text almost immediately. So, you can get a good idea of where it’s going right away. This is useful; if you notice that it’s not going in the right direction. Then, you can stop the generation then and there and make adjustments rather than waiting for the entire thing to be generated.
The Gemini app could get real-time responses
Right now, real-time responses are only available on the web version of Gemini. It’s unfortunate, as many people are likely to use the Gemini app over the site. It’s just a very convenient form factor.
Well, according to a new report, it appears that Google is working on bringing this feature over to the small screens. Popular leaker AssembleDebug released a screenshot (via PiunikaWeb) of the Gemini apps setting page, and it shows the real-time responses toggle up top.
Along with the screenshot, PiunikaWeb was able to provide a screen recording of This capability. Just like on the web, you will see the text coming in gradually as Gemini is generating it. The text comes in rather quickly, which is a testament to Gemini’s speed.
At this point, we don’t know when Google is going to launch this for the app. However, since there’s already footage of it working on the device, it shouldn’t be too long.
