Tech giants are preparing to transform the smart home experience with more advanced AI systems. As voice assistants take on a growing role in daily life, user expectations are shifting toward more natural and flexible interactions. This change makes smart home devices much more practical and personalized. Google’s newly announced Gemini for Home is the latest example of this transformation.
Google has finally taken a long-awaited step, announcing its new AI-powered voice assistant, “Gemini for Home,” which will replace Google Assistant. The new system will be rolled out in October and will gradually replace the existing Assistant on Nest speakers and displays.
Gemini for Home is built on Google’s most advanced AI models. You’ll still be able to summon the assistant by saying “Hey Google,” but conversations will be much more natural. Now it’s possible to handle multiple tasks with a single sentence. For example, you can dim the lights, adjust the temperature at the same time, or add a note to your calendar and create a shopping list.
“Gemini Live” Allows for Continuous Conversation Without Saying “Hey Google”
You can now give multiple commands with a single sentence, and create calendar notes, shopping lists, and reminders more fluidly. One of the new platform’s standout features is the “Gemini Live” mode. This feature allows users to start a conversational interaction without repeatedly using the trigger command.
You can have dialogues on various topics, from recipes and storytelling to device settings and travel plans. Media content and information queries also receive more contextual responses.
Google has announced that it will offer both free and paid versions of Gemini for Home, though pricing details remain a mystery for now. Another notable detail from the event was the brief appearance of a new smart speaker with colorful light effects at its base. It seems a new era of competition is on the horizon for the smart home assistant market with the arrival of Gemini for Home.
