A MakeUseOf writer hands the mental load of a hopeless junk drawer to Gemini Live: with the camera on, Gemini suggests emptying it and grouping things by category, then advises on how to use the trays and bags you already have, or which organisers are worth buying.
I'm going to show you my [JUNK DRAWER / CUPBOARD / SHELF] through the camera. Help me sort it out step by step: tell me what to take out first, how to group what you can see into categories, what I could probably throw away or donate, and how to arrange it using [ORGANISERS I ALREADY HAVE, E.G. TWO SMALL TRAYS AND SOME ZIP BAGS].
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Open the Gemini app, start Gemini Live and turn on the camera.
- Empty the drawer on to a table, show Gemini everything and talk through the categories it suggests.
- Show it the boxes or trays you own, or ask what to buy before you head to the shops.
