Google's Search Live is going global

Have you used Google's Gemini for Search Live?  It's when you can load up Gemini and put it in a 'talk' mode.  I like to use it to share my camera and tell me what it sees, ask it questions about what it can recognize; like "what's wrong with this plant", or "what do you know about this beer" and similar. It's super fun for me (and 'super creepy' according to some), I haven't quite got ot the 'it's a utility' over it's novelty' as of yet, but I'm having fun.  I use Circle to Search (which I showed a colleague the other day how it's even better than just Lens), and this is that just on steroids it feels like. This has been one of the few times that we in Canada had it before the wider audience, as it's only now going out to all languages out there.
