"Google started rolling out its new Gemini voice assistant for its smart speakers two weeks ago and, in a blog post marking the anniversary, the company seems to think everything is going great. It's even quoting a user who said, "My Google Home just got upgraded with Gemini. It's actually useful now beyond asking for today's weather." That's some not-so-subtle shade right there."
"But dig into the post's FAQ, and things don't look so rosy. Two of the most frequently asked questions from those who have the new assistant are: Gemini for Home voice assistant is not fully understanding my query... (Example: I tried to set an alarm for 5pm but it set it for 5am.) Gemini for Home voice assistant is not properly controlling my home devices. What should I do?"
Google started rolling out the Gemini voice assistant for smart speakers two weeks ago. A company blog post presented positive user feedback, including a user saying their Google Home became 'actually useful' beyond weather queries. The FAQ reveals common problems: Gemini may misunderstand queries (for example setting alarms for the wrong time) and may not properly control home devices. Controlling lights, locks, and executing commands are fundamental voice assistant requirements. Gemini will become the default assistant on Google Home speakers and displays. Gemini for Home expands Google Home with an Ask Home chatbot and integrates Gemini capabilities into Nest security cameras.
