    Gemini for Home isn’t enough to revive Google’s forgotten Nest speakers


    Google Nest speakers are neat little utility tools that let you holler at Google Assistant anywhere in the house — add something to your shopping list before it slips your mind or run the Roomba in a certain room. They’re so handy that a lot of us just grab Nest Minis by the dozen and place them across our homes so that we can call Assistant from literally anywhere.

    However, Google’s home efforts have been stagnant for a few years, to the point where they’ve clearly fallen behind their main rival: Amazon’s Alexa. Now, Google is trying to give the lineup a new lease of life with its latest AI avatar, Gemini. But the question is: after so many years of neglect, is this enough? Can Gemini patch the wrongs Google has done to its Nest speakers?
