Google is developing a Gemini-powered smart home speaker that will launch at an unspecified future date. The speaker will be offered in bright red, light green (possibly Jade), black (possibly Obsidian), and white (Porcelain). A light at the bottom will illuminate when interacting with Gemini, providing Gemini Live voice interaction limited to speech. The device will include new natural-sounding assistant voices, media and music search and playback, automation setup, unusual-sound detection (glass breaking, smoke alarm) with phone alerts, multiroom pairing with Google TV Streamer, and Matter IoT protocol support.
First off, it's real, it's in development, and it will be launching at some point in the future. It will unsurprisingly be powered by Gemini. It will be offered in bright red, light green, black, and white (or Porcelain in Google parlance - the light green could be branded Jade and the black would be Obsidian if Google sticks with the names it's been using for the past few years).
The speaker will light up at the bottom, and this will come on when you're talking to Gemini. You'll be getting the Gemini Live experience, but of course it will be limited to speech only - on your phone you can also use the camera to show it things. The speaker will apparently launch with some new natural-sounding voices for the AI assistant, and you'll be able to search for media and music and have it play it.
