Techosta Where Tech Starts From
The idea of a helpful home is one that truly takes care of the people inside it. While the smart home has shown flashes of that promise over the last decade, the underlying AI wasn’t anywhere as capable as it is today, so the experience felt transactional, not conversational. You could issue simple commands, but the home was never truly conversational and seldom understood your context.
Today, we’re taking a massive step toward making the helpful home a reality with a fundamentally new foundation for Google Home, powered by our most capable AI yet, Gemini. This new era is built on four pillars: a new AI for your home, a redesigned app, new hardware engineered for this moment and a new service to bring it all together.
Gemini for Home: A brand-new home intelligence At the heart of this transformation is Gemini for Home. The best of Gemini has been made to work best in your home, which is an action-oriented space where you move around, get things done, and will be used by multiple people. It transforms natural collaboration in the smart home from simple commands. Gemini not only replaces the Google Assistant on your smart displays and speakers but also upgrades smart devices like your cameras and doorbells, as well as the Google Home app. Because this is only the beginning, and we want to build it with you, we are beginning to roll out in early access this month. Please share your feedback as we make regular improvements to help us create a truly helpful home.
– The Google Home app: Your home, completely redesigned –
An AI this powerful needs an equally powerful app as its command center. The Google Home app has been completely redesigned to make it easier to manage your home from a single location. It’s faster and more reliable, and you’ll find full controls for previous generations of Nest cameras, doorbells, thermostats and locks in the app. It’s never been easier to control, automate, or comprehend what’s going on at home thanks to a new, simplified design built with Gemini. – New Nest and Google Home devices, engineered for Gemini –
This new generation of AI comes with a new portfolio of devices engineered for Gemini. With the highest image quality ever, our new Nest Cams and Doorbells take full advantage of Gemini for Home, enabling a new level of AI-powered understanding. We are also introducing the Google Home Speaker, the first audio device designed specifically for Gemini that will help you have conversations with Gemini that are more natural and fluid. Alongside our flagship hardware, we’re also working with partners to offer you more choice of form factors, price points and designs to access the best of Gemini throughout your home.
– Google Home Premium and new benefits for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers –
To power our most advanced new features, we’re also introducing Google Home Premium, a whole-home subscription that unlocks Gemini for Home capabilities for all your compatible devices. It’s also now included with both Google AI Pro and Ultra.
