Welcome to the next era of Google Home Oct 01, 2025
At the heart of this transformation is Gemini for Home.
While the smart home has shown flashes of that promise over the last decade, the underlying AI wasn't anywhere as capable as it is today, so the experience felt transactional, not conversational.
You could issue simple commands, but the home was never truly conversational and seldom understood your context.
This new era is built on four pillars: a new AI for your home, a redesigned app, new hardware engineered for this moment and a new service to bring it all together.
Gemini not only replaces the Google Assistant on your smart displays and speakers but also upgrades smart devices like your cameras and doorbells, as well as the Google Home app.
We’re beginning to roll out this month in early access because this is just the beginning, and we want to build it with you.
An AI this powerful needs an equally powerful app as its command center. We’ve completely redesigned the Google Home app to be the single, unified place to manage your home. It’s faster and more reliable, and you’ll find full controls for previous generations of Nest cameras, doorbells, thermostats and locks in the app. With a simplified new design and built with Gemini, it’s never been easier to control, automate and understand what’s happening at home.
To power our most advanced new features, we’re also introducing Google Home Premium, a whole-home subscription that unlocks Gemini for Home capabilities for all your compatible devices. It’s also now included with both Google AI Pro and Ultra.
