Recently, Google officially released the latest version of its AI product, Gemini — Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash, which are now fully available to all users. This update not only brings a more affordable and faster Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite model but also introduces a notable new feature: video upload and analysis functionality, which is now available on Android and web platforms.
Android users can easily upload videos for analysis, with an operation process similar to adding images. Simply click the "+" button and select the desired video clip. Gemini can comprehensively analyze user-uploaded videos, including summarizing the content, finding specific segments or items, etc. Moreover, the analysis results will display relevant video clips, making it convenient for users to quickly access the required information. Although the analysis time varies depending on the length of the video, this function undoubtedly enhances Gemini's capabilities in video processing.
Notably, Gemini's video analysis capability builds upon its existing YouTube video summarization ability, aiming to provide users with a more convenient experience. Currently, users cannot directly record videos within the Gemini app, but they can take photos and attach them to their questions to enrich interactive content.
The launch of this feature marks another step forward for Gemini in its competition with rivals like ChatGPT. While ChatGPT supports real-time camera frame analysis, it currently lacks the ability to upload and analyze videos. Thus, Gemini’s advantage in this field becomes increasingly evident.
This update from Google's Gemini not only enriches the functions but also provides users with more flexible video analysis options, further solidifying its competitive edge in the smart assistant market. In the future, as AI technology continues to advance, Gemini is expected to demonstrate its powerful potential in more scenarios.
