This year’s Google I/O was filled to the brim with AI-related announcements like Veo 3, Gemini Live screen sharing, Google Search AI mode, and so on. If you still have some room left after that flurry of news, Google has a few more AI-related reveals to share. These announcements deal with Gemini coming to Google Home APIs.
Google has announced that it is powering up its smart home efforts with Gemini integration. One way the tech giant is using its AI to improve your smart home experience is by simplifying automations. For example, if you’re having trouble thinking up automations for your home, Gemini will now analyze your devices and provide suggestions. If creating an automation sounds daunting, you can tell the AI what you want to achieve, and it will draft an automation for you. On top of that, there are new automation starters that offer more sophisticated triggers based on dates and weather conditions, allowing your automations to respond more dynamically.
