Google to Replace Nest Assistant with Gemini AI in October
Google is replacing Google Assistant on Nest speakers and displays with Gemini for Home, an AI-powered voice assistant rolling out in October via early access. It offers advanced reasoning to handle complex commands like multi-room lighting, detailed lists, and uninterrupted conversational interactions without repeated hotwords. Gemini Live enables back-and-forth chat, kitchen tips, and creative tasks. A free and premium tier will launch, likely tying into Google One or Nest Aware subscriptions. Hardware refreshes may accompany the update.
