Google Home Testing Gemini
Google is launching two major GemAI-powered features for Google Home: AI Camera Search and Help Me Create which aim at better surveillance capacity and intelligent home control.
AI Camera Search
AI Camera Search enhances Nest Cam use by offering rich, AI-based annotations of events captured by the device. It is also capable of recognizing certain actions such as ‘dog digging in the garden’ or ‘person leaving parcel on the porch,’ instead of general notification.
LightCube allows users to search camera footage with natural language questions about the activities and deliveries. Some Nest Aware Plus subscribers will be able to choose to try out these experimental AI features in the Google Home app as part of the Public Preview. Currently only available for US users and in English.
