Google's Smart Home Devices Are Finally Getting Gemini's AI Skills

On August 20, 2025, Google revealed that starting in October, its new AI assistant Gemini for Home will take over the functionality of Google Assistant on Nest smart speakers and displays.
This move follows Google's broader AI strategy to integrate generative technology across its devices amid competition from Amazon's Alexa Plus and Apple's AI efforts.
Gemini for Home will enable more nuanced voice commands, better context understanding, and tasks like controlling lights, thermostats, and creating personalized content such as bedtime stories.
Google confirmed early access will start in October for Nest Aware subscribers and that the update will include free and paid tiers, though pricing details remain undisclosed.
This rollout positions Google to strengthen its smart home ecosystem with more natural AI interactions, potentially boosting device appeal and addressing recent challenges in the smart home market.
