This is happening in the end: Google assistant is getting its Gemini glow in the house. “Mithun for Home” is an all-new voice assistant for Google Home, which is ready to come to the end of this year, the company announced today.
This new Voice Assistant, run by Google’s Gemini Artificial Intelligence, will eventually change Google Assistant on Google’s Nest Smart Speaker and will be displayed for free control from hands of things like smart lights, music, settings setting and answering questions. The rollout begins in October through an initial access program, with both free and paid tier available. Google says that you will still call the assistant with “O Google” and it will work for all your home appliances and each member of your home as well as visitors.
The time of Google here is interesting. While the company is leading the charge in AI on mobile, which is bringing a clever, LLM-manual assistant on the phone, it has lagged behind in the house. Amazon’s liberal-AE-Interested Alexa Plus assistant is already in millions of homes.
Comparatively, Google’s recent Mithun Upgrade for the house has felt a Gemini option on the AI-managed features and some speakers for the recent Mithun Upgrade of Google, some more condensed reactions, nest cameras and automation. All these indications were what was coming, but he reduced a whole new assistant.
Gemini for the house is that the entire new voice is helpful, and it can be one of the most important changes for Google Home since the launch of its first smart display more than six years ago.
According to a blog post by Aneesh Kattukaran, the Chief Product Officer of Google Home and Nest, “will feel fundamentally new” using Gemini for the house. ” He says that the new voice takes advantage of the assistant “advanced logic”, Conclusion and search capacity“AI model of Google, with home adaptation, allows to complete more complex tasks for more natural interactions. In short, it must be a accessory that can better understand reference, nuances and intentions – a complete change from its predecessor.
With the launch of Gemini for home, the race is now for the most reliable and capable smart home assistant
For example, Kattukaran says that Gemini for the house can give the correct answer to the requests such as “leave my bedroom everywhere except my bedroom,” about this year’s summer blockbuster about that song, about the race cars, “or” Set a timer to the blanch broccoli. ” They say that the lists, calendar entries and more easily reminders than before.
Another big upgrade is that Gemini will be part of Gemini for Live home, which will bring more condensed back-end-wise interactions to Google Home without repeatedly the need to say “O Google”. Kattukaran says that it will allow for more detailed and personal help – from cooking (“I have spinach, eggs, cream cheese, and a smoked salmon in the fridge. Help me to make a delicious food”) to chore up how to buy a new car or find out how to fix my dishwasher, as well.
If it seems familiar, it should be. These features are Alexa Plus Offers, including better smart home control, more help in kitchens and fixing domestic issues. Alexa Plus also has some agent capabilities – it can use services such as Thumbtac and Opentable for you. With the launch of Mithun for home, the race is now for the most reliable and competent smart home voice assistant – and we are still waiting for the third competitor, Apple to come on the track.
Google has not announced pricing for the level paid for the house for the house, but Gemini Live is a possible candidate for a premium plan, with its more advanced capabilities. Amazon has gone to the membership route with Alexa Plus, putting it in its major membership. Google can follow the suit and make it aware of your nest or google in a plan. This recently increased the price of the nest to $ 10 per month, with no major feature upgrade.
It is likely that we will see the new Google Nest Hardware this decline
Although Google says that Mithun is coming to the house in October, do not expect that it is expected to land everywhere at once. Google uses its Google Home Public preview program To test your new features, and in the past there is a gate access to some Gemini features, only they have been made available to select users. There is a possibility of a cautious rollout, reflecting Amazon’s approach with Alexa Plus. Additional precautions are required to bring generic AI to smart homes, especially considering the ability to control important devices such as locks, equipment and HVAC systems.
All this, of course, raises a constant question for Google Home: Where is the hardware? In addition to Pixel Tablet, Google has not refreshed its smart speaker or display since 2021. With the home being a major upgrade to Google Home with Gemini, it is likely that the new hardware designed to show its abilities will be launched with this fall.
