Good Business eMails: Gemini comes to your smart home

The Gemini era for Google Home

For 10 years, devices and assistants showed us the future, but lacked the AI to be genuinely natural and helpful. But that's changing: This week, we announced a big step forward for smart homes with the release of Gemini for Home. Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on your smart displays and speakers to deliver more natural conversation, context and helpfulness. Gemini is also delivering a major upgrade to your smart devices — including our new cameras and doorbells — and enhancing the redesigned Google Home app with improved Nest integration and natural language control.

Beyond the news

This week, we went behind the scenes with the Gemini app's wildly popular image generation and editing model, fondly known as Nano Banana. Built by Google DeepMind, Nano Banana is the world's top-rated image editor, with a particular focus on maintaining a character's likeness from one image to the next. So now, photos of your friends, family and even pets look consistently like themselves, no matter the prompt. We spoke to the team that built Nano Banana to gather tips on how you can put these new capabilities to work, from getting ideas for a room remodel to transforming your photos with new themes like an '80s Mall Shoot or Pro Headshots.
