ChatGPT’s ‘Live Camera’ Video Features

ChatGPT’s ‘Live Camera’ Video Features Spotted in Beta Code 🎥

OpenAI might be gearing up to launch its highly anticipated Live Camera feature, integrating real-time visual recognition with Advanced Voice Mode. Here’s what the beta code reveals:

• Live Camera Functionality: Interact with your surroundings through ChatGPT's camera feature.

• Real-Time Processing: Instant visual feedback from ChatGPT.

• Voice Integration: Combine video and voice for seamless interaction.

• Visual Recognition: Analyze objects and scenes in real time.

Initially demoed six months ago, this feature could bring a new dimension to AI interaction—perfectly timed to rival Google’s Project Astra visual AI.

⚠️ Warning in code: Not for live navigation or health/safety decisions.

If launched, Live Camera might be the first step toward fully immersive AI assistants, paving the way for infinite memory and actionable AI.

Expect chatbots in 2025 to move beyond text, into interactive voice and visual agents.

Google’s Gemini Chatbot Now Remembers You

Google’s Gemini chatbot is rolling out a new memory feature that personalizes conversations by retaining key details about your life, work, and preferences. Here’s what it offers:

• Tailored Interactions: Gemini remembers information like your favorite foods or travel preferences to offer more relevant suggestions.

• Customizable Priming: Examples include requests like “Use simple language,” or “Plan trips with cost per day.”

Currently, this feature is exclusive to subscribers of Google’s $20/month Google One AI Premium plan and is only available on the web client; mobile support is coming soon.

Privacy Highlights:

• Your Data Stays Yours: Memories aren’t shared or used to train Gemini’s AI models.

• Full Control: Users can switch off memory or delete stored data at any time.

While promising, memory features like this have raised security concerns. Earlier this year, researchers uncovered vulnerabilities in similar tools, where hackers planted false memories to steal user data.

As AI evolves, features like memory are reshaping chatbots—but come with the need for stronger safeguards.
