is now available and so Gemini is enabled to “converse and give orders” to the assistant

Gemini will be included in the smart home in different ways and one of them will be accompanied by a textual summary of everything connected as well as important events happening at home. The tech giant is now opening the doors to incursion of its AI into the user’s home via the Google Home app by bringing the Gemini extension to the Public Too muchw.

During these months, Google has included some news related to smart device control at home as with your new Google TV Streamer or on Google TV by including a very useful panel. The same thing happened in the Google Home app, which included an overhaul of the thermostat controls.

An important milestone has now been reached after the launch of the Google Home extension for the Gemini Assistant earlier this month: its inclusion in Public preview so that more users can use it. And a few hours ago it expanded its access so that AI can be integrated into this application dedicated to home control.

To find out if access is available To access the Google Home Gemini extension, simply open the app on Android, click on the profile icon in the upper right corner and then click on extensions. The extension must appear here to enable it.

There is another important point to be able to access Google AI in Home, is that the extension is limited to users participating in the Public preview; It’s as simple as going to the Google Home settings and services, entering this section to participate and thus try the latest news from the application. And it is clear that it is being deployed in phases, so it is possible that the extension does not even appear as happens to us in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre when checking it.

The big difference between Gemini and Assistant

One of the best facets of Gemini on Google Home is the natural conversation you can have with the AI ​​assistant unlike Google Assistant. In other words, instead of being limited to certain commands that the Assistant “understood”, the user can take certain liberties when “giving orders” to Gemini.

Phrases like “turn on the light in the living room for a romantic dinner”“help me clean the kitchen” or “there is too much light in the living room” will activate a series of actions such as setting the light temperature to a warm tone, activating the robot vacuum cleaner or lowering the smart blinds a little .

There are certain limits in using this extension and it still does not allow controlling security devices such as doors, locks, cameras or garage door. Of course, the rest of the smart devices are available such as lights, air conditioning, thermostat, curtains, speakers, vacuum cleaners or even the washing machine among many others.

Google Home expansion is in progress deployed on Android phones and tabletsand iOS is excluded from the game, for now. It is necessary to remember, according to Android Fontthat this extension will only work with Gemini as the default assistant and with Gemini Apps activity enabled.
