It\u2019s been an exciting year for Google Home as we continue enhancing our smart home experiences for both users and developers. At Google I\/O, we opened our platform, giving developers tools to create new and innovative experiences for the home. While we were making the smart home better, Google\u2019s Gemini models were unlocking new ways to help people in their daily lives.<\/p>\n
Today, we\u2019re reinventing two of our most iconic and beloved devices with our newest Nest Learning Thermostat and the new Google TV Streamer. And we\u2019re thrilled to unveil how we\u2019re using Gemini models to make our devices smarter and simpler to use than ever, starting with cameras and home automation. We\u2019re also using Gemini models to make Google Assistant much more natural and helpful on your Nest speakers and displays.<\/p>\n
Security cameras have become an important part of our daily lives in helping us keep our family safe and secure. Over time, cameras across the industry have gotten smarter \u2014 from simple motion detection, to people and package detection, to more advanced AI features like familiar face detection unique to our Nest cameras. But even with these AI improvements, it can be hard to truly understand what is happening in and around your home.<\/p>\n
With Gemini multimodal models that can process video, images and text we\u2019re now able to redefine camera intelligence for the industry. Over time, your Nest cameras will go from understanding a narrow set of specific things (i.e., motion, people, packages, etc.) to being able to more broadly understand what it sees and hears, and then surface what\u2019s most important.<\/p>\n
This means that your camera can understand that it isn\u2019t just an \u201canimal detected\u201d in the video, but it will understand that \u201cthe dog is digging in the garden.\u201d With these new AI descriptions, Gemini models are making your camera clips in the Google Home app far more useful.<\/p>\n
You can also use the new camera activity search in the Google Home app to find exactly what you are looking for in your home. For example, \u201cDid the kids leave their bikes in the driveway?\u201d Google Home can search through your camera history, giving you a list of only the relevant events and a helpful summary. That simply wasn\u2019t possible before. The sky’s the limit for what you can ask, \u201cDid the FedEx truck drive by today?\u201d or \u201cDid my dog go near the cookies?\u201d This will be a monumental shift for Nest cameras and will transform how you get help in your home. And we do all of this while ensuring your data is safe and private, consistent with our principles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
