Google announced Gemini for Home, a new AI platform that will replace Google Assistant across its Nest line of smart displays, speakers, thermostats, and lights. The service leverages large language models tuned for household tasks, allowing users to issue more complex, context‑aware commands such as dimming lights in specific rooms or setting a thermostat while asking for recipe ideas. Gemini for Home retains the familiar “hey Google” activation phrase and integrates live Google Search results for up‑to‑date information. While the company said the current Nest devices are likely to support the service, it did not specify older speakers or the Pixel Tablet. The rollout signals Google’s broader strategy to embed its Gemini generative AI across products, following recent growth in search and cloud revenue. Leia mais →
