Google's New Speaker with Gemini AI

Google’s back with a major smart speaker drop: the Google Home Speaker, packed with its brand-new Gemini AI assistant. Designed to understand you like never before—letting you speak naturally, even mid-sentence—Gemini delivers smarter, more conversational commands. The sleek, compact orb-shaped speaker hits shelves June 25th for $100, available in Berry, Jade, Hazel, and Porcelain (Berry and Jade US-only). It boasts 360-degree audio, local AI for better sound isolation, and a new light ring to show when it’s listening. You can chain commands, ask for specific actions like turning off all lights except one, and use “Continued Conversation” to skip repeating the wake word—all in any language. “Gemini Live” mode lets you chat back-and-forth, but requires a Premium subscription (six months free). With millions already using Gemini, Google’s re-entering the smart speaker race with a fresh, powerful contender. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
