Google Gemini for Home: The Latest Update

Google has announced that its Gemini for Home voice assistant is now available in the UK, Australia, and much of Europe. This major upgrade promises improved conversational abilities and object recognition. The rollout has begun, and eligible users can switch to Gemini for Home in the Google Home app.

The Gemini AI assistant was initially limited to the US, Canada, and Mexico, but is now available in 16 new countries, including Austria, Belgium, and Denmark. The update also includes support for seven new languages, such as Danish, Dutch, and French.

Google has also updated the Google Home App with expanded Google Workspace support, allowing users to invite members to their home even if they are on different domains. The app also features improved account migration and the ability to set up Nest devices through a Workspace account.

A new feature in the Google Home app allows users to transfer older Nest thermostats, cameras, locks, and smoke alarms to the app in one go. This is a significant improvement for users with existing Nest devices.

While there is no news on the launch of the new Google Home Speaker, it is expected to arrive soon. The original estimate was spring 2026, and we have asked Google for an update.

The Gemini for Home update is a significant improvement for Google’s smart speakers and displays. With its improved conversational abilities and object recognition, it is an exciting development for the UK and European markets.

Google’s commitment to expanding its voice assistant to new regions and languages is a testament to its dedication to innovation. The company’s focus on improving its smart home technology is evident in the Gemini for Home update.

As the smart home market continues to grow, Google’s Gemini for Home is well-positioned to be a major player. With its improved features and expanded availability, it is an exciting time for smart home enthusiasts in the UK and Europe.
