Nearly a decade ago the Google Assistant pioneered the role of a helpful voice in the home, introducing millions to the convenience of managing simple tasks and getting quick answers, hands-free. Now, we\u2019re introducing an all-new voice assistant for the next generation of help at home: Gemini for Home.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"fu796\">Gemini has already transformed expectations of what an AI assistant is capable of on our mobile devices. It provides direct access to Google&#8217;s most advanced AI \u2014 ready to brainstorm, problem-solve and create alongside you for virtually any topic imaginable. Gemini for Home is built on the same powerful AI models, with unique capabilities designed for the home. It offers reliable, hands-free help and can manage complex tasks across all of your home devices, assisting every member of your household, as well as visitors and guests.<\/p>\n<p>Gemini for Home: An all-new, more powerful assistant<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"cgdsp\">Gemini for Home uses the advanced reasoning, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/technology\/ai\/ask-a-techspert-what-is-inference\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">inference and search capabilities<\/a> of our most capable models, making it both more powerful and easier to use than Google Assistant. You still say \u201cHey Google\u201d to get started, but your interactions will feel fundamentally new. Gemini will understand the context and get it done, and we\u2019re replacing rigid commands so you can use more nuanced or complex requests, too.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"aeq4n\">Here are a few ways Gemini for Home is better at assisting with daily tasks:<\/p>\n<p>Discover and play media: Ask Gemini to \u201cplay the song of the year winner from 1990\u201d or \u201cplay that song from this year&#8217;s summer blockbuster about race cars\u201d and it will help you find and play what you\u2019re looking for from across multiple streaming platforms.Access more powerful smart home controls: Conveniently issue multiple commands at once to control your home. \u201cDim the lights, and set the temp to 72 degrees.\u201d Gemini can also reason through complex commands, so you can say things like \u201cturn off the lights everywhere except my bedroom.\u201dCoordinate your home and family life: Improved natural language support for calendar creation, list creation and timers means you can keep everything \u2014 and everyone \u2014 on track. Try \u201cadd the ingredients to make an authentic Italian lasagna to my shopping list\u201d or \u201cset a timer for perfectly blanched broccoli.\u201d You can also ask Gemini to create a calendar event for the season premiere of your favorite show, and it will show up in your Google calendar.Ask about anything: With Gemini at the core, you quickly get answers tailored to your specific needs on an endless number of topics. You can ask \u201chow can I keep raccoons out of my backyard at night?\u201d or \u201cgiven weather, crowds and hotel prices, what\u2019s the best time of year to visit the Greek islands?\u201dGemini Live: Expert advice in your home<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"8lr7k\">Gemini Live is now coming to your home. With its intuitive conversational capabilities, it\u2019s easy to get detailed, personalized and expert help with whatever you\u2019re working on. Kick off a Gemini Live conversation with \u201cHey Google, let\u2019s chat\u201d and from that point on, have a natural back-and-forth discussion (no more \u201cHey Google\u201d required). Explore new concepts, learn a skill, brainstorm ideas or get personalized advice. You can also interrupt responses to refine or redirect the discussion, so you get the specific information you\u2019re looking for quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Get help in the kitchen: Gemini Live provides better help for more complex cooking challenges, like \u201cI have spinach, eggs, cream cheese and smoked salmon in the fridge. Help me make a delicious meal.\u201d Gemini Live offers suggestions for florentine eggs, a frittata and pasta, along with directions on how to make them. Ask for tips as you continue to cook, like \u201chow do I know the pan is hot enough?\u201d or \u201chow do I ensure my eggs are fluffy?\u201dExplore topics in-depth: Explore, understand and ask follow up questions about complex topics with Gemini\u2019s help: \u201cI\u2019m thinking about buying a new car\u2026\u201d. Or get in-depth information, specific to your needs: \u201cHelp me come up with a nutrition plan for the week leading up to my first marathon.\u201dRequest personalized troubleshooting: Combined with the power of Google Search, Gemini Live can provide in-the-moment help with challenges. \u201cMy dishwasher isn\u2019t draining. Can you walk me through some simple troubleshooting steps to see if I can fix it on my own?\u201dAsk for a creative collaborator: Gemini\u2019s generative AI capabilities make it the perfect creative partner for any moment: \u201cLet\u2019s create a bedtime story for my 6 year old daughter.\u201d Personalize it for you \u201cthe main character is a scientist, who is also a princess, and loves corn!\u201d Brainstorm together \u201cour protagonist needs a furry side-kick. Give me some options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"1m0h9\">Over time, Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant on existing <a href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/us\/category\/connected_home?utm_source=keyword&amp;utm_medium=google_oo&amp;utm_campaign=GS108535\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">speakers and displays<\/a>, with free and paid versions.
