TL;DR
What did Kevin Luby (@luby_k) use Gemini Live for?
Spatchcocking a chicken for the first time, a home cook had Gemini Live walk him through it step by step in real time and says the meal came out delicious.
What they did
He wanted to spatchcock a chicken, which means cutting out the backbone so the bird lies flat, and had never done it before. He used Gemini Live, which walked him through it step by step in real time as he worked.
How it went
He says he "confidently spatchcocked a chicken for the first time" and that the meal was delicious.
Worth knowing
- This is one cook's report. Prop the phone up away from the raw chicken, and take your time with the shears or knife rather than rushing to keep up with the voice.
- Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

I'm about to spatchcock a whole chicken for the first time and I have [poultry shears or a sharp knife]. Walk me through it one step at a time and wait for me to say done before the next step. If I'm unsure where to cut, I'll show you with the camera.
