Will "Ask Home" be only for Google Home Premium subscribers?

I saw this in the Google Home Early Access release notes and it sounds like I'll no longer have an assistant available to me like I did before.

Will 'Ask Home' be only available to Google Home Premium subscribers?

I'm just another Google Nest customer, but I just found this Help topic. It seems that they're limiting some functions based on whether we have a subscription or not.

@MplsCustomer   Thank you👍

Well that's disappointing. I thought Ask Home was going to be a part of the Gemini experience that everyone would get to enjoy.

Now I'm thinking that everything in this Early Access app will be hidden behind a pay-wall.

• I'll now stop getting excited for this new app and stop promoting it on my YouTube channel.

I recently discovered that I can now add a Google Voice Assistant tile to my Favourites like I could with the previous version of the Google Home app.

This is good news.
