Project Astra is now integrated within the Gemini Live experience, allowing it to understand and explain the world around you, as seen through the camera lens.
At MWC 2025, Google confirmed that its experimental Project Astra assistant will roll out widely in March. It seems the feature has started reaching out to users, albeit in a phased manner, beginning with Android smartphones.
Recommended Videos Google has also confirmed to The Verge that the aforementioned features are now on the rollout trajectory. So far, Gemini has only been capable of contextual on-screen awareness courtesy of the “Ask about screen” feature. When you summon Gemini and enable the Share Screen With Live option in any app, it will analyze the on-screen content and will answer queries based on it. For example, users can ask it to describe the current activity happening in an app, break down or summarize any article they were reading, or talk to them about the scene during video playback.
Pointing the camera at a book passage, asking Gemini to tell more about a monument, getting advice on decor, or solving problems written on a board or book — Gemini Live’s Project Astra upgrade can do it all. It is not too different from Apple’s Visual Intelligence on iPhones, or the open-source HuggingSnap app that promises an offline world-understanding AI.
