To resume this week’s announcements quickly, Google Home is being concentrated around Gemini. The Google Home app itself is rolling a redesign that simplifies the overall look and functionality of the app, Google Assistant is being replaced by Gemini All Google’s smart speakers dating back to the original Google Home, and Mithun would have supercharged nest cameras with better video search, notifications, and more.
At the level of the surface, a lot is to excite, but a deep eye reveals some things that I consider even more exciting.
First, the preceding Google for Smart Home is set. Update All For the past decade, its smart speakers and cameras set tone for all future hardware, and actually fight against the entire “Google Gravyard” shitik. This is a recent level of commitment that we often do not see enough in technology, and jointly with the 7 -year update policy of Google for Pixel phones, I argue that Google is making Google Most Promises in this regard.
For me individually is the expansion of more exciting Google Hardware.
Nest Catalogs have always felt a little restrictive for me, mostly with single-purpose hardware Very Expensive than a sea of inexpensive options. That is why I was thrilled to see the Google team with Walmart, which starts at just $ 23 to build cheap new cameras, literally a quarter of the price of Google’s cheapest Nest camera. You have always been able to see other third-party cameras in the home app, but not at the same level of integration, as Google is now with Walmart. I can’t wait to see other brands jumping on the board here and continue to extend the catalogs. Other benefits here are on security. Since Google is handling video storage and processing, “How are they so cheap?” And cutting corners,
Then, the level of functional improvement is.
Over the years, “Aye, Aye, Aye Everything“But Google is proving that it In fact Knows to use AI with these latest announcements. Mithun’s natural language understood with the wealth of Google’s data is actually creating some really cool integration. Given the cameras again, Gemini is making it possible for users to obtain a series, descriptive information, while being able to answer AI using recorded footage.
he is very nice,
Outside the cameras, Gemini is designed to fix a lot of problems that have come from a collapse accessory. Smart Home Command works much better on Gemini than assistants, and they are also going to be able to handle more complex tasks. If it sticks to the landing, it will be terrible, and it will also be a large sales point for that upcoming Google Home speaker.
In many ways, Mithun is delivering on what Google is really promising for a decade. Looking at the 2016 Google I/O presentation, where Google Home and Assistant were first shown, Very Of That initial vision Finally payment is being made now.
Of course, most of them are in “Early Access” for now, but I am impressed. Google has placed a vision for a smart home that is compelling and powerful, and I Can’t wait To see where it goes.
