Google started rolling out its new Gemini voice assistant two weeks ago, but it seems like things aren’t going as smoothly as expected. While some users are reporting mixed results, others are experiencing frustration with the current state of their smart speakers.
The FAQ section on Google’s blog post highlights some major issues with the Gemini Home rollout, including not fully understanding user queries and failing to control home devices properly. This is a concern, given that controlling connected devices such as lights and locks should be a basic requirement for any voice assistant.
Google is slowly rolling out Gemini to smart speakers, but it won’t arrive on everyone’s device until next spring at the earliest. The company claims that Gemini will bring improved control over smart home devices, thanks to its natural language understanding capabilities and ability to issue multiple commands simultaneously.
However, some users have reported difficulties with these features, including daisy-chaining commands. It remains to be seen whether Gemini can overcome its current limitations and provide a seamless user experience.
As Google continues to work on improving Gemini’s capabilities, we want to hear from users who have experienced the new voice assistant firsthand. Share your thoughts and experiences with us in the comments below or email [email protected].
