Google Unveils Revolutionized Ai-Powered Home Assistant On Nest Speakers

Google has taken the wraps off a significant update to its Google Assistant, now available on select Nest smart speakers, courtesy of the powerful Gemini AI. This marks an exciting milestone in the company’s efforts to enhance its home assistant capabilities, bringing users one step closer to a more intelligent and intuitive smart home experience.

In August, Google teased a revamped Google Assistant for the home, promising smarter answers to general knowledge questions and a more conversational tone. The update now enables users on Nest Audio and Nest Mini (2nd gen) speakers to enjoy even more in-depth responses to their queries, thanks to Gemini’s AI. Whether you’re looking for information on everything from history to science, Gemini’s AI will provide detailed and accurate answers, making it an invaluable resource for home learners.

One of the most notable features of this update is its ability to handle follow-up questions and interruptive responses. Simply say “Hey Google” before asking another question, or pause mid-response to ask a new query – the AI-powered Assistant will seamlessly adapt to your conversation flow.

The Gemini-enhanced feature is currently only available on select Nest speakers, specifically those running Android 10 or later, as part of Google Home’s Public Preview for users who have opted-in to Experimental AI features. Those in the Preview must also be Nest Aware subscribers and have access to Experimental AI features, which can be toggled on through a notification in the Google Home App inbox.

The update also unlocks other exciting generative AI-powered features announced earlier this year, including Gemini-powered camera search and descriptions for filtering Nest security camera footage (requiring Nest Aware Plus), and a “Help me create” feature that lets you set up a Google Home routine with just a few words.

As the world of smart home technology continues to evolve at an incredible pace, it’s clear that Google is committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. With Gemini-powered Google Assistant now available on select Nest speakers, users can look forward to even more innovative features and capabilities that will make their lives easier, smarter, and more enjoyable.
