Google Home

Google has launched Home MCP, a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents like Claude, Google Antigravity, and OpenClaw interact with Nest cameras, thermostats, and Matter smart home devices. The feature is rolling out today to Google Home Premium Advanced subscribers in US English.

Google has updated Gemini for Home on Nest Hub and Smart Displays with redesigned visual responses using Material 3 design language. The update includes refreshed weather forecast cards, more reliable sports information, and improved Continued Conversation that no longer requires mid-conversation voice verification.

Google has deployed a new update to Google Home that accelerates Gemini voice command processing, particularly for timers and alarms. The update extends Gemini's 'Ask Home' feature to voice commands, allowing users to query camera history and family member locations via smart speakers and displays.

Google has upgraded its Home smart assistant to Gemini 3.1, enabling users to combine multiple tasks in a single voice command. The update follows last month's improvements to natural language understanding and comes after reports of accuracy issues in the smart home platform.
