Google details Gemini Home full launch timeline amid rollout confusion

Google’s Gemini for Home voice assistant is officially two weeks into its rollout, and early reactions from users suggest it’s already changing how people talk to their smart homes.

A Nov. 11 update on the Google Nest Community blog said the Gemini for Home team has been collecting feedback "across support channels, social media, in-app feedback, and the community itself." The post claims users have praised the Gemini upgrade for making Google Home "actually useful beyond asking for today’s weather" and called it a "massive improvement" over the old Google Assistant.

The biggest question, however, remains: when will everyone get it? Google said the Gemini for Home rollout is still limited to U.S. users but will expand to other regions starting in early 2026. The company advised users to make sure their home address is current in the Google Home app.

Google also clarified confusion for people managing multiple homes. Gemini for Home is enabled at the Home level, not per account — meaning an upgrade in one household doesn’t automatically apply to others linked to the same user.

The post noted updates to the FAQ page addressing early-access questions, including troubleshooting, and how to submit feedback directly by saying, "Hey Google, send feedback."

Google said its teams are investigating reported issues and iterating quickly. Future progress updates will be posted on the company’s "Things to Know" blog.

"Your feedback is critical to helping us improve," the post said. "Please keep it coming."
