Google Brings Gemini AI to Home, Unveils New Nest Devices for Enhanced Smart Living

Google has officially integrated its advanced Gemini chatbot into the Google Home ecosystem, marking a significant shift from the long-standing Google Assistant. While the familiar “Hey Google” command remains, it now activates Gemini, promising a more intuitive and conversational smart home experience.

This rollout follows Gemini’s expansion across various platforms, including Wear OS smartwatches and an upcoming integration with Android Auto. The transition to Gemini aims to revolutionize how users interact with their smart devices, moving beyond rigid commands to offer more natural language processing for tasks like setting routines. For instance, complex multi-device commands can now be executed simply by asking Gemini.

Alongside the Gemini upgrade, the Google Home app has received a comprehensive redesign to leverage the new AI capabilities. Google also announced a suite of new hardware, including a new Google Home Speaker (set for an early 2026 launch), the Nest Cam Indoor 2K, Nest Cam Outdoor 2K, and the Nest Doorbell 2K. These products are available for purchase today, with a strategic partnership with Walmart also introducing affordable Onn-branded indoor cameras and doorbells directly compatible with the Google Home app.

This strategic move underscores Google’s commitment to delivering on the promise of ambient computing, providing users with a truly intelligent and proactive home environment powered by cutting-edge AI.
