Google has updated its Home app to include new features powered by the Gemini AI model. The update brings smarter suggestions for daily routines and home automation. Users will now get personalized tips based on their habits and connected devices.

The Home app analyzes how people use their smart lights, thermostats, speakers, and other gadgets. It looks at patterns like when someone usually turns on lights or adjusts the temperature. Then it offers simple ways to automate those actions. For example, if a user often dims the lights at 8 p.m., the app might suggest setting that as a routine.
Gemini helps the app understand context better. It can tell the difference between weekdays and weekends. It also considers things like sunrise and sunset times. This means suggestions feel more natural and useful. Users do not need to set up complex rules. The app does the thinking for them.
People can accept, tweak, or ignore any suggestion. All changes happen inside the Home app. No extra tools are needed. The goal is to make smart homes easier to manage without technical know-how.
The feature rolls out first to users in the United States. It will expand to more countries in the coming weeks. It works with all devices that support Google Home. Existing users will see the new options appear automatically after the app updates.

Google says this is part of its effort to bring helpful AI into everyday life. The company believes smart homes should adapt to people, not the other way around. With Gemini, the Home app learns over time. It gets better at predicting what users might want to do next.
