Google Home Mini AI

[Batman1]

  When will Gemini or Meta AI be integrated into our Nest/Home Devices? For example, my Google Home Mini doesn’t use Gemini nor Meta AI but if it will, would it just be a software update or do I have to get a new device?

Thanks for your question about Gemini and Meta AI integration with Google Home Mini devices. We appreciate your interest in these new features. I've passed your feedback to our internal teams who handle product development and integration. For specific update timelines and compatibility information, I recommend keeping an eye on official Google support channels.

As of now, Gemini (Google’s advanced AI) isn’t fully integrated into Nest/Home devices like the Google Home Mini. Most current devices still use the older Google Assistant framework.

Whether it will be a software update or require a new device depends on the hardware. Some older models (like the original Mini) may not support the processing power Gemini needs, meaning newer devices might be required for full functionality.
