Gemini on Google Home Speaker

[Deano-1]

I have a google home mini - if I subscribe to Nest Aware for £6 a month in the UK - I have joined the google home public preview - will I be able to access the Gemini programmed general knowledge responses Google Assistant on my Google Home mini?

Or would I need to buy a Google Nest Mini or Google Nest Audio?

Can I access Gemini programmed Google Assistant on my Google Home Mini without subscribing to Nest Aware?

Can I access Gemini programmed Google Assistant on Google Nest speakers without subscribing to Nest Aware?

Hi Deano-1,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you'd like to know if your Google Home Mini (1st gen) will receive the new Gemini-powered Google Assistant features by subscribing to Nest Aware (£6/month in the UK). I'm happy to help with the information you need!

You can experiment with new, more natural sounding voices and get AI-powered answers from Google Assistant with help from Gemini on eligible Home devices. In this early preview, Google Assistant uses Gemini models to give you smarter and more helpful responses.

Here is what you need:

1. Access to AI features in Public Preview.
2. An eligible home device, which includes the following:

• Nest Audio speakers
• Nest Mini (2nd gen) speakers

3. Voice Match turned on. You’ll need to turn on Voice Match for each device where you want to try out this AI-powered experience. Learn how to turn on Voice Match

For now, the AI-powered experience is only available in English, in the US, and to users 18 and over. Stay tuned for updates on expanded country availability.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to post them on this forum.

Best regards,
Juan.
