Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant in the company's line of smart displays and speakers, a step up in capabilities for its smart home devices. The announcement was made

Google’s timing here is interesting. While the company has been leading the charge in AI on mobile, bringing a smarter, LLM-powered assistant to phones, it’s lagged behind in the home. Amazon’s generative-AI-powered Alexa Plus assistant is already in millions of households.

Google launches Gemini for Home, a next-generation voice assistant for Nest devices, offering smarter AI and advanced home automation features.

Here's what you missed at Google's big event that included new phones, watches, earbuds, Gemini AI features and numerous celebrity cameos.

At its product event on Wednesday, Google announced new hardware, which includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, as well as the Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Buds 2a.

The Pixel Watch 4 arrives with a dazzling domed display, stronger AI features via Gemini, and upgraded internals—while keeping the same starting price as its predecessor.
