This marks a new era of real-time multimodal AI that blends voice, vision, and text to deliver fluid, human-like interactions at scale. Enterprises can deploy low-latency voice and video agents with enterprise-grade security and data residency controls via Vertex AI. The Gemini 2.5 model is optimized for high concurrency and real-time turn-taking, including interruptions mid-sentence and processing acoustic cues to infer intent and tone. It can discuss complex visuals (charts, diagrams, live video) shared by users, enabling immediate, contextual assistance. Real-world usage, like Shopify's Sidekick, showcases improved customer experiences with AI-powered support.
