Gemini AI has introduced a new feature that enables it to watch and extract information from YouTube videos. This update, available in Google Gemini 2.0, allows users to save time on research by having Gemini do the heavy lifting.
With this feature, users can ask Gemini to watch specific YouTube videos and receive answers to their questions. For example, a user can ask Gemini to extract instructions for making a cake from a video tutorial. Gemini will then provide the list of ingredients and instructions in seconds.
To use this feature, users need to log in to either the web-based Gemini or the Gemini app on their phone. They must also select the “2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps” option in the Gemini menu. Once enabled, users can ask Gemini to watch videos and answer questions.
This new feature is a significant improvement for research and can save time for users who want to quickly extract information from YouTube videos. The ability to use Gemini 2.0 with YouTube, Google search, and Google Maps will be a game-changer for many users.
