Just over a month after launching an early access program, Gemini for Google Home is coming to a new wave of users in the latest rollout.<\/p>\n

Google initially began the early access program to gradually roll out Gemini for Home to users under the traditional \u201cbeta\u201d format. None of the features are finalized, and there will likely be hiccups along the way. It\u2019s entirely different from the long-standing Public Preview program in terms of access.<\/p>\n

If you signed up for Gemini for Home in early access, you may be getting an app notification soon. Some devices on 9to5Google\u2019s team have recently received a notification stating that Gemini for Home is ready to use. This likely indicates Google is making the update available for more users in a limited fashion as the beta program matures.<\/p>\n

Early access members will see an alert notifying them that Gemini for Home is ready for setup. The process is simple, and it involves a quick introduction to what Gemini for Home can do, as well as what it can\u2019t \u2013 such as responding in languages other than English, for now.<\/p>\n

The setup will also ask users to select filters for guests in the home, putting some limitations on how Gemini responds to those it doesn\u2019t recognize. That includes allowing or disabling guest access to video logs, considering that one of the main features Gemini for Home offers is conversational video searches.<\/p>\n

There also looks to be a new option, as far as we can tell. The \u201cconversations across devices\u201d feature allows voice-matched users to continue a conversation across devices in different rooms. Testing this out, it works much better than initially expected. Each device still needs to be woken with the \u201cHey, Google\u201d wake phrase.<\/p>\n

Users will also have to choose an assistant voice, ranging from ten options<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once accepted, Google Nest displays and speakers around the house will make the switch to Gemini, ditching Google Assistant forever<\/a>.<\/p>\n
