Gemini for Home is an all-new voice assistant for Google Home powered by Google's Gemini artificial intelligence. It will replace Google Assistant on Nest smart speakers and displays for hands-free control of smart lights, music, timers, and answering questions. Rollout begins in October via an early access program with free and paid tiers. Users will continue to summon the assistant with 'Hey Google.' The assistant will work across home devices, support every household member, and accommodate visitors. Google has strengthened Assistant on phones earlier, but until now its home upgrades were incremental compared with competitors such as Amazon's Alexa Plus.
It's finally happening: Google Assistant in the home is getting its Gemini glow-up. "Gemini for Home" is an all-new voice assistant for Google Home, set to arrive later this year, the company announced today. This new voice assistant, powered by Google's Gemini artificial intelligence, will eventually replace Google Assistant on Google's Nest smart speakers and displays for hands-free control of things like smart lights, music, setting timers, and answering questions.
Rollout begins in October through an early access program, with both free and paid tiers available. Google says you'll still summon the assistant with 'Hey Google,' and it will work across all your home devices and for every member of your household, as well as visitors. Google's timing here is interesting. While the company has been leading the charge in AI on mobile, bringing a smarter, LLM-powered assistant to phones, it's lagged behind in the home.
