A sneak peek of Google's new Google Home app design reveals that Gemini will be front and center as the company transforms its new products with artificial intelligenceSmart House, you will always be famous.

Google Home v3.41.50.3, a forthcoming app update, includes a significant UI overhaul, according to an exclusive by Android Authority. The app will now feature Gemini and Gemini Live (not Google Assistant) front and center, which allows users to fully automate their Google Home settings using the AI assistant. Simply "Ask Home."

Users will be able to use the new Ask Home search bar to do just that, and can oversee their preferred devices, automations, and environmental feedback on a revived "favorites" page. Google's also added tiles for expected video and thermometer add-ons. The app comes with fresh icons, cleaner pages, and important privacy disclosures for Gemini Home's data collection, too — keep your eyes peeled.

Google is set to announce a new line of smart products in October, including a new Nest speaker with built-in Gemini, a new Nest doorbell, and a series of Nest cams for a fully rounded smart home setup. In April, Google announced it would be ending support for first—and second-generation Nest Thermostats, which was explained as a necessary move to focus on supporting newer hardware.

In addition to the hardware upgrades, Google Home users can expect new AI-powered functions and features, such as daily summaries and AI event descriptions, first demoed at the company's Made by Google event in August.
