Gemini for Home is finally coming to a speaker near you

Google has announced that its Gemini for Home voice assistant is rolling out to way more regions, including the UK, Australia, and much of Europe.

Back in October, we brought you the news that Google’s Gemini AI assistant was making its way to the company’s Nest smart speakers and displays in early access as a free upgrade.

This promised to be a major upgrade, with improved conversational abilities and (in the case of the Nest Camera) object recognition, among other things.

It was a strictly limited rollout at the time, however, with availability restricted to the US, Canada, and Mexico. Now the company has announced a wider rollout of early access to seven new languages and 16 new countries.

Those countries include the UK (hurrah!), as well as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Outside of Europe, Google is bringing these major speaker enhancements to Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.

New countries mean new languages, with Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish added to the roster.

This early access rollout has already begun, and should be spreading to all eligible users and devices over the next week or so. Find out how to get early access or keep an eye out for an invitation, at which point you can switch your home to Gemini for Home in the Google Home app.
