October 1, 2025 – Google has unveiled a major redesign of the Google Home app, making Gemini AI the centerpiece of the smart home experience.

Smarter, AI-First Home Management

The revamped app now integrates Gemini for Home, allowing users to:

• Search and control devices with natural language – ask “Show me when the garage door opened last night” and get both an answer and a video clip.

• Receive AI-generated summaries – condensing hours of camera footage into digestible recaps.

• Get richer, contextual notifications – not just motion alerts, but detailed insights like “child left backyard through gate.”

Unified Experience Across Devices

The new design emphasizes a streamlined dashboard with:

• A Home tab for quick access to devices, cameras, and routines.

• A Security tab for monitoring Nest Cams and Doorbells.

• A History feed powered by Gemini that intelligently highlights events.

Built for Developers and Partners

With Gemini at the center, Google is positioning the Home app as a platform for third-party hardware as well. Partner devices, such as Walmart’s onn cameras, will also tap into Gemini-powered features through the Home app.

Rollout

• The new app begins rolling out in October 2025 in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, and Australia.

• More countries will follow in early 2026.
