Google Launches AI-Powered Smart Home Subscription Service
Google has introduced Google Home Premium, a new smart home subscription service replacing Nest Aware. The offering integrates Gemini AI to enhance user control, eliminating the need for wake words with features like Gemini Live. Pricing starts at $10 monthly for the Standard plan, which includes 30-day video history and smart alerts.
The Advanced plan, priced at $20 monthly, adds AI-driven event descriptions and searchable video history. Google is bundling this service with its AI Pro membership, signaling deeper integration of AI into consumer ecosystems. The MOVE reflects broader industry trends where tech giants leverage AI to lock in recurring revenue streams.
