# Gemini Live API Examples

The Live API enables low-latency, real-time voice and video interactions with
Gemini. It processes continuous streams of audio, video, or text to deliver
immediate, human-like spoken responses, creating a natural conversational
experience for your users.

## Example use cases

Live API can be used to build real-time voice and video agents for a
variety of industries, including:

*   **E-commerce and retail:** Shopping assistants that offer personalized
    recommendations and support agents that resolve customer issues.
*   **Gaming:** Interactive non-player characters (NPCs), in-game help
    assistants, and real-time translation of in-game content.
*   **Next-gen interfaces:** Voice- and video-enabled experiences in robotics,
    smart glasses, and vehicles.
*   **Healthcare:** Health companions for patient support and education.
*   **Financial services:** AI advisors for wealth management and investment
    guidance.
*   **Education:** AI mentors and learner companions that provide personalized
    instruction and feedback.

## Key features

Live API offers a comprehensive set of features for building
robust voice and video agents:

*   [**Multilingual support**](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/live-guide#supported-languages):
    Converse in 70 supported languages.
*   [**Barge-in**](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/live-guide#interruptions):
    Users can interrupt the model at any time for responsive interactions.
*   [**Tool use**](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/live-tools):
    Integrates tools like function calling and Google Search for dynamic
    interactions.
*   [**Audio transcriptions**](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/live-guide#audio-transcription):
    Provides text transcripts of both user input and model output.
*   [**Proactive audio**](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/live-guide#proactive-audio):
    Lets you control when the model responds and in what contexts.
*   [**Affective dialog**](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/live-guide#affective-dialog):
    Adapts response style and tone to match the user's input expression.

## Technical specifications

The following table outlines the technical specifications for the
Live API:

## Examples

*   **[Gen AI SDK Python example](./gemini-live-genai-python-sdk/README.md)**: Recommended for ease of use. Connect to the Gemini Live API using the Gen AI SDK to build a real-time multimodal application with a Python backend.
*   **[Epheremal tokens and raw WebSocket example](./gemini-live-ephemeral-tokens-websocket/README.md)**: RAW protocol control. Connect to the Gemini Live API using WebSockets to build a real-time multimodal application with a JavaScript frontend and a Python backend.
*   **[Command-line Python example](./command-line/python/README.md)**: A minimal command-line app that streams microphone audio to the Gemini Live API and plays back the response in real time using Python.
*   **[Command-line Node.js example](./command-line/node/README.md)**: A minimal command-line app that streams microphone audio to the Gemini Live API and plays back the response in real time using Node.js.
*   **[Command-line Translation Python example](./command-line/python/README.md#real-time-audio-stream-translation)**: A command-line tool that streams a remote audio URL into the Gemini Live Translate model, plays back the translated audio, and prints transcripts with language codes in real time.
*   **[Broadcast Translation Web App (LiveKit)](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-live-translate-livekit)**: A production-ready multilingual broadcast app built with Next.js, LiveKit, and the Gemini Live API that translates speaker audio to multiple target languages concurrently with low latency. *(Note: This project has moved to a standalone repository)*
