Google has begun inviting users to try Gemini for Home, a significant AI upgrade that transforms smart home interaction. Gemini replaces the traditional Google Assistant on smart displays and speakers, enhancing conversational capabilities and intelligence across devices such as cameras, doorbells, and the Google Home app. It enables more natural, fluid conversations and a better understanding of home activities, making the smart home experience more collaborative and intuitive.
Gemini for Home represents a foundational shift toward a beneficial home, moving beyond simple voice commands to more contextual and action-oriented interactions among multiple household users. The rollout begins with early access this month for owners of compatible Google Nest and Home devices, featuring new hardware and app redesigns that support the upgrade. Gemini-powered features include improved video search and intelligent notifications for Nest cameras and more seamless device control without additional user effort.
Google’s AI upgrade also comes with a new Google Home Premium subscription that unlocks advanced Gemini capabilities across compatible devices. The initiative represents a new era for smart homes, building on an existing ecosystem that spans over 800 million connected devices. Users eager to join the early access program can sign up through the Google Home app to experience the next level of smart home AI.
