Overview
- Google is replacing Assistant on Home and Nest speakers and displays with Gemini for Home.
- Most U.S. users who opt in are being invited within 24 hours, and Google says “millions of households” already have access.
- Support now includes third‑party speakers in addition to Google’s own devices.
- The full experience with Gemini Live is limited to Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Audio, Nest Mini (2nd gen), and Nest Hub Max, while older models lack Live.
- Enrollment is a dedicated early access program separate from the Google Home app’s Public Preview, and Google recommends checking Home settings for missed invitations.
