Last fall, we gave you a glimpse into the next era of Google Home, announcing a new portfolio of devices built for Gemini. Now, the new Google Home Speaker, our first audio device built for Gemini, is available for pre-order and hitting shelves June 25 for $99.99.

Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know.

Enabling a more natural, conversational voice assistant

The Google Home Speaker comes with Gemini for Home voice assistant, which features advanced natural language understanding and reasoning. Instead of having to memorize rigid command phrases, Gemini adapts to how you speak, making it easier and more intuitive to get the help you need.

• Natural and Expressive voices: Gemini ships with 10 new natural sounding voices designed to complement the vast new ways that you can interact with your voice assistant. Pick the voice that’s right for your home.
• Say what you want: Use logic in your requests and Gemini will make it happen. “Turn off all the lights except for my bedside lamp.”
• Get more done in one breath: Save time by giving multiple commands at once. “Dim the kitchen lights, play some relaxing music and set a timer for 20 minutes.”
• Make easy corrections: There’s no pressure to say the correct prompt first. Just correct yourself mid-sentence and Gemini will understand. “Turn off the coffee maker…I meant turn it on!”
• Ask complex questions: Gemini reasons through multiple steps to answer nuanced questions. For instance, if you ask, “What’s the weather going to be like for the next <insert your favorite team name> baseball game?” Gemini intelligently figures out when the game is, where it’s located and what the weather will be like at game time to deliver you a precise answer.
• Get more done with two-way conversations: Gemini has conversational context (a “short-term memory”), so it follows the thread of your discussion enabling real back-and-forth interactions. Ask follow-up questions to dive deep on a topic or string together multiple tasks. No need to re-specify context. Gemini will follow along. And, with Continued Conversation, the microphone stays open briefly after a response so you can ask follow-up questions without repeating “Ok Google.” Continued Conversation is now available for the first time in all supported languages. Accomplish more with intuitive, multi-step conversations:

• Gemini Live: Say, “Hey Google, let’s chat” to have natural, free-flowing chats where you can brainstorm, change topics and interrupt.
• Camera History Search: Ask your speaker to describe current or recent activity captured on your Nest cams: “Hey Google, is my back gate open?” You can also ask about familiar faces or pets: “Hey Google, did Rover go on the couch today?”
• Home Briefs: Whether you’re away for the weekend or just the afternoon, ask Gemini for a summary of what happened around the house while you were out.

Engineered to sound great, anywhere

With a balanced 360° sound, Google Home Speaker delivers your favorite podcasts and music crystal clear — whether you’re standing right next to the speaker or across the room. Additionally, advanced microphone processing adapts to your environment so Gemini can understand you better.

Google Home Speaker now works together with your Google TV Streamer. You can pair up to two speakers with a Google TV Streamer to turn your living room into a mini home theater with spatial surround sound.

New colors and a thoughtful design

Sustainably built and wrapped in custom 3D-knit textile, Google Home Speaker is a sleek, thoughtful addition to any room available in Hazel, Porcelain, and in the US, in Jade and a vibrant Berry. It even features a new light ring underglow that softly communicates when it’s listening, thinking or responding. For your privacy, you can also use the toggle switch to quickly mute the microphone at any time.

More ways to simplify your routine

Here are a few ways it can help you simplify your life and get tasks done:

• Plan your next trip or outing: Brainstorm ideas for a family outing, ask about the next free weekend afternoon and block it off. Don’t forget to ask what the weather will be like so you’ll be prepared.
• Get help in the kitchen: Ask for some quick, healthy and delicious school lunch ideas, and then ask to add the ingredients you’ll need to your shopping list.
• Unwind from the day with entertainment: Dive deeper into your latest interests and find great content. For example, say, “Hey Google, recommend a good podcast about scientific breakthroughs with entertaining 30-minute episodes that I can listen to after a long work day.”

Whether you’re tackling daily chores or winding down for the night, a little extra help goes a long way. Experience the next era of connected living with the new Google Home Speaker, available for pre-order today.
