Gemini Go can play music, depending on your mood. You can prompt it with phrases such as “Play something cheerful” or “Play party music.”
Gemini Go can upload files, photos, and documents in chats, and set alarms, create calendar entries, or write down notes.
Hardware requirements for Gemini Go

Gemini Go is made for Android Go devices, which typically sport modest hardware. The minimum requirement is 2GB of RAM or more and Android 13 (Go edition).
The AI agent is available through Google Search, and you can start a conversation with the AI by pressing and holding the Home button or doing the same with the Power button on some devices.
It’s a gradual rollout
Gemini Go might not be available on your Android Go device yet, as Google is using a typical gradual rollout for the new feature.
This means that it might take a week or two before all supported devices get the AI agent. You can see if the update is coming in your country here.
