And if the event occurs in a highly trafficked space like your driveway or sidewalk, priority detection highlights people first, so you don’t miss what matters most.

A hands-free smart home helps you adjust to life’s unpredictable moments. With a Google Home Premium subscription, you can enjoy natural interactions with Gemini on your Nest and Google speakers. Speak casually and be understood instantly, thanks to smart speech recognition and a natural voice response. It feels less like giving instructions and more like having a conversation.

Say you’ve got a packed weekend planned when your sister calls: “Surprise! I just flew in for a visit.” With Gemini, adjusting your already busy day is effortless. Just say, “What’s my schedule for today?” and Gemini will let you know what events are on your calendar. Follow up with, “Do I have time to drive to the airport and back?” Gemini remembers the context from earlier, so there’s no need to repeat yourself.

And if you want to pivot your dinner to her favourite dish but aren’t sure how to make it, Gemini can help with that, too. Ask your Nest or Google Home Speaker, “How do I make shakshuka?” and Gemini can guide you through each step. While you cook, continue to prep for the evening without ever picking up your phone. Use voice commands to dim the lights, play music, and adjust the thermostat. Or simply say, “Hey Google, it’s dinner party time” to activate the automation you’ve previously created, and let Gemini take care of it all.^,,

Sometimes, you want more than a simple answer – you want to brainstorm an idea, tackle a complex problem, or take a deep dive into a new topic. That’s when it’s time to consult Gemini Live.

Whether you want to learn a foolproof way to make perfectly poached eggs or replace a light switch, Gemini Live provides expert-level help in real time. If you’re not sure whether you have a single or double pole switch, jump in mid-response with follow-up questions. When you’re finished, easily shift topics to vegetarian meal planning. You don’t need to open a screen or search through a how-to video. Just ask, and Gemini can guide you.

Simplify your life with automations that group tasks together so you can access them with one command. Whether it’s a nightly routine like dimming the lights every evening at 9 PM or a one-time event like turning off all the exterior lights when you’re doing a little stargazing, Gemini makes it easy to build routines that work for your day-to-day life.

You can create and manage your routines more intuitively within the Google Home app, too, thanks to the redesigned Automations tab. At a glance, you can now see which automations are coming up next, so you’re always in the loop without having to dig.

If you have an idea of the routine you want to establish, but don’t know where to start, Gemini can help with that, too. Discover new ways to streamline your day with the Help Me Create feature – available with a Standard plan – which suggests automations based on how you already use your devices.^,, And when you want to build or tweak a routine, the updated automation builder makes it easier to set things up or spot when something isn’t working as expected.

From enhancing your smart home security system to making everyday tasks faster, smarter, and more intuitive, Google Home Premium transforms how you interact with your home. Bringing together real-time help with Gemini and Gemini Live, Google Home Premium builds powerfully on what Nest Aware started.
