Summary
Google’s July 23 update brings Gemini Live to the first-gen Nest Hub and original Home Mini, expanding the AI assistant to some of its oldest smart-home devices.
A new 15-minute conversational window lets Gemini for Home retain context across follow-up requests, fixing a key limitation on smart speakers and displays versus phone and PC versions.
Access remains gated behind the Google Home Premium subscription; eligible users can start Gemini Live with the voice command, “Hey Google, let’s chat.”
The same release also sharpens the Google Home app with clearer automation alerts, better blind and lock controls, iOS video fixes, and Nest Camera reliability and setup improvements.
