Google will reveal more Gemini smart home plans and devices on October 1

Google is set to reveal more information about its “Gemini for Home” plans, including new Nest devices designed for the AI assistant, the company announced on X. “Gemini is coming to Google Home,” the teaser states, while showing what could be a new Nest camera. That follows the company’s Made By Google announcement last month revealing Gemini for Home and its capabilities.

Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant and enable natural language commands plus easier-to use controls. For instance, you could ask it to come up with recipes based on ingredients in your fridge, provide information on general topics like buying a car and help you troubleshoot home appliance issues. It will be available both in free and subscription versions — much like Amazon is doing with Alexa and Alexa+.

Back at CES, Google said that Nest Aware subscribers who pay $10 per month would get early access to Gemini in Google Home, but it hasn’t confirmed that recently. In any case, the teaser implies we will likely see a new Nest camera (the image strongly resembles the company’s wired Nest security camera) and hopefully the unknown Nest speaker that caught everyone’s eye during Google’s recent live stream.
