If you&#8217;re used to asking your smart speaker what time it is, Google says these responses should now come much faster. On the other hand, Gemini should also start to recognize your speech patterns, so if you&#8217;re an exceptionally long talker, expect Gemini to get better at waiting for you to finish before interrupting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>Context has always been important to Gemini, and Home is working to better incorporate contextual cues to better understand what devices you&#8217;re trying to control, even if not explicitly named. A similar upgrade is coming to how Gemini handles notes and lists, with a better understanding of instructions for updating lists, including complex multi-step commands. And if you&#8217;ve ever noticed Gemini glitching and pretending it can&#8217;t find any of your listings, don&#8217;t worry \u2014 Google says it&#8217;s fixed that, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>If you&#8217;re like us, you have a lot of playlists at once \u2013 and good luck remembering the names of them all. Thankfully, Geminis are getting better at recognizing them, even if you miss a few words. We should also expect fewer mistakes when asking to play specific songs \u2013 as well as getting better at actually stopping the music when you ask it to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>On the app side of Google Home, Google is making some changes to the thermostat slider, which it says professional installers should appreciate, and it&#8217;s got some improvements to the camera controls in the iOS version. However, the big deal here is that the app has the ability to set things like content filters, screen time limits, and usage rules for supervised accounts, guests, and other Home users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>All of these changes should apply to Gemini for Home users currently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_uc e_P\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
