One of the standout updates is how Gemini leverages information you’ve stored in Ask Home to address your camera-related inquiries. For instance, if you’ve noted that your nanny’s name is Alice, simply ask Gemini when Alice arrived, and it will promptly retrieve the relevant camera footage for you.
Additionally, you can request a Home Brief via your speaker or display, providing a succinct summary of your home activities while you were out.
