Google Home Adds Gemini Live Search to Tell You What Your Cameras See

From PC Mag: Google Home with Gemini onboard is getting new features, including various tweaks to address annoyances and a brand-new feature to help spot packages and movement live on your home's cameras.

As announced by Google Home chief product officer Anish Kattukaran on X, the new updates are rolling out now across the latest version of the app and should start appearing for users who have opted into early access to Gemini for Home.

The big new feature is called Live Search, a Gemini-powered option that uses AI to monitor camera feeds in real time and lets you ask questions, such as whether there’s a car in your driveway or a package being delivered.

Live Search is only available to Google Home Premium Advanced subscribers, who pay $20 a month or $200 a year for other features such as AI-generated notifications, descriptions of video clips, and 60 days of camera history.
