Google Brings Gemini AI to Revamped Nest Devices With Smarter Security and Notifications

Google has unveiled a new lineup of Nest smart home devices, including the $149.99 Nest Cam Outdoor, $99.99 Nest Cam Indoor, and $179.99 Nest Doorbell, each equipped with 2K HDR video and enhanced low-light performance. The launch marks the first full integration of Gemini AI into Nest, using multimodal capabilities to interpret events and deliver contextual notifications such as identifying delivery drivers or distinguishing pets from intruders.

A new Home Brief feature in the Google Home app summarizes daily activity, while Gemini also powers advanced automations for safety and energy efficiency. The devices, available in multiple markets and colors, expand Google’s push to make AI the center of the connected home ecosystem, with subscription services rebranded under Google Home Premium.
