Google built a great smart speaker, but Gemini isn’t ready for it

Google's latest smart speaker showcases impressive hardware, but its integration with Gemini falls short in delivering the advanced AI capabilities many hoped for. While smart speakers have struggled to move beyond basic functions, the promise of deeper AI interactions remains unfulfilled. This is significant because it highlights the gap between tech innovation and practical application, suggesting that while the hardware is advancing, the software and AI still need significant improvements to truly enhance user experience in smart homes.
