Google is adding a new Google Home extension in the Gemini app, letting users control smart home devices using natural language.
Google is adding a Google Home extension to the Gemini app, allowing you to control your smart home while chatting with the AI assistant. The update, which is available to Android users as part of Google Home’s Public Preview program, will let you use natural language prompts, like “Set the dining room for a romantic date night” to adjust lighting, or “Help me clean up the kitchen” to turn on the vacuum.
It also can’t execute routines. Like Google, Amazon is also working to add support for natural language commands in Alexa. The company has already rolled out a preview containing elements of this update, but we’ll likely have to wait until next year to see a full AI overhaul for Alexa. And while Apple is planning to upgrade Siri with Apple Intelligence, the assistant doesn’t have a role in the smart home just yet.
