It’s been two weeks since Google’s Gemini for Home voice assistant officially launched, and early reactions from users suggest it’s already changing how people talk to their smart homes.
A November 11 update on the Google Nest Community Blog says the Gemini for Home team is gathering feedback “from support channels, social media, in-app feedback, and the community itself.” The post claims that users have praised the Gemini upgrade for making Google Home “genuinely useful beyond today’s weather” and called it a “huge improvement” compared to the old Google Assistant.
However, the biggest question is when will everyone get it? Google said the Gemini for Home rollout is still limited to US users, but will be expanded to other regions in early 2026. The company advised users to make sure that their home address is turned on in the Google Home app.

Google also clarified the confusion among people managing multiple homes. Gemini for Home is capable of Home Level, not per account – meaning upgrades to one household don’t automatically apply to others connected to the same user.
The post mentions updates to the FAQ page that address early access questions, including troubleshooting, and how to submit feedback directly by saying “Hey Google, send feedback.”
Google said its teams are investigating the reported issues and taking rapid action. Future progress updates will be posted on the company’s “Things to Know” blog.
“Your feedback is important to help us improve,” the post said. “Please keep it coming.”
