- Google has published a support page for how to experiment with “AI-powered answers” from Google Assistant on Nest devices.
- The Gemini-infused responses allow you to ask follow-up questions, interrupt Assistant, and learn more about topics.
- This experiment currently only works on the Nest Audio and Nest Mini (2nd gen).
Google has been planning to enhance Assistant on smart displays and speakers with Gemini for a while now. The company announced these intentions back in August. This experience began rolling out for some Nest users earlier this month. Now Google has published a new support page detailing how to try out “AI-powered answers from Google Assistant with help from Gemini.”
In the support document, Google describes this experience as an experiment. When Assistant leans on Gemini for help, “you’ll hear a chime before Google Assistant responds with an AI-powered answer.” For the answer, Assistant uses an “LLM to respond to a wider range of questions and provide more in-depth.”
