TL;DR

  • We’ve spotted a major redesign in the works for the Google Home, with Gemini at its center.
  • The update will introduce “Gemini for Home,” replacing Google Assistant with an AI for more conversational interactions and advanced controls.
  • The app’s layout is being simplified, with the “Favorites” tab renamed to “Home” and a new “Ask Home” search bar to access Gemini.

Google is gearing up for some big changes to Google Home. New hardware is coming in the form of a new Gemini-powered Nest speaker, a new Nest Doorbell, and Nest Cams. Then there’s Gemini making its way to Google Home on October 1. As part of the rollout, we’ve now spotted a redesign of the Google Home app on Android, complete with a new UI and more changes.
