Gemini

Google Home’s Gemini revamp is here and, for Nest Cam owners, it means getting better notifications, the ability to search through footage, and more. Here’s what to expect.

Gemini for Home does more than just replace Google Assistant on smart speakers and displays. Featuring a rebuilt Home architecture, it adds intelligence to cameras and makes possible a redesigned Home app for Android and iOS. 

Following Gmail and Docs, Gemini is coming to Google Drive for Android and iOS. This integration lets users “ask questions about their files and folders and receive conversational responses.”

We previously spotted that the Google Home app was getting a redesign with “Ask Home” and it’s now beginning to roll out for iPhone users ahead of the October 1 announcement.

Google has been teasing the debut of Gemini for Google Home for an October 1 unveiling, and now a refreshed Google Home logo has also surfaced.

Google today updated the 2.5 Flash model available in the Gemini app across three areas.

As promised, Gemini is officially launching on Google TV today, but most users will still have to wait a little bit longer.

Gemini in Chrome for Mac and Windows will no longer require an AI Pro or AI Ultra subscription, while Google today also announced a number of upgrades.

As previewed in June, Google now lets you share Gemini Gems with other users.

It’s iPhone 17 review week, and word on the street is the base model is the one to buy this year. Pitting platforms against each other, Apple has a pretty distinct advantage over the Pixel 10 from the jump, with the iPhone 17 arriving with 256GB in its base $800 configuration, while Google delivers just 128GB for the same price. It’s easy enough to see this as a miscalculation on Google’s part — one it can rectify with next year’s Pixel 11 — but the Pixel 10’s status as a device “designed for AI” really feels at odds with this single decision.

After a mathematics win in July, Gemini 2.5 Deep Think has now earned a gold-medal level performance in competitive coding.

As previewed in April, Google Meet is rolling out an “Ask Gemini” capability for Workspace users. It’s framed as a “personal in-meeting advisor.”

Following the web, the Gemini app on Android and iOS has rolled out the “Tools” redesign of the prompt bar and suggestions in recent days.

The Nano Banana image editing model has been a hit for Google, and presumably the reason that Gemini for iPhone is the top free app in the US App Store.

Following the web, Gemini is beginning to roll out the latest prompt bar redesign on Android and iOS.

The Gemini homepage on desktop and mobile web has rolled out its Tools redesign, while Nano Banana continues to be a hit for Google.

The Gemini app finally supports audio uploads on Android, iOS, and the web for expanded file analysis options.

Google is finally going beyond “limited,” “expanded,” and “highest access” to detail Gemini’s usage limits, with actual numbers for free and paid customers.

There’s a lot to love about the Pixel 10. Through four generations of Tensor, we’ve waited for a chipset that could match the thermal performance of Qualcomm’s best, and my experience so far suggests Google’s nailed it. The 5x telephoto lens, while far from the best on the market, helps the camera feel far flexible than non-Pro Pixels in the past, and helps the device stand out from entry-level flagships from Samsung and Apple. It’s sort of the Pixel I’ve wanted for ages, even if it’s not an out-and-out perfect smartphone.

Following last week’s announcement, Google shared today how much of a hit Nano Banana has been for the Gemini app.
