Gemini 2.0 Flash offers extended context windows, native code execution, and advanced reasoning capabilities for diverse professional apps

Rolling out to all users this week, the new integration lets you ask the AI bot to turn lights on or off or control other smart devices.

Extensive AI features along with substantial storage are just a few reasons why Gemini Advanced is worth the monthly subscription.

Google wants Gemini to control your smart home devices and has upgraded the Gemini app with a new Google Home extension to manage all of your connected devices the same way you'd ask the AI assistant to answer any other query. So if you have the Gemini app and devices controlled by Google Home, you can link Gemini to your Google Home account.

Google is bringing smart home controls in Gemini to everyone. The Google Home extension in the Gemini app is adding a few new features, in addition to letting you adjust your smart lighting, thermostat, speakers, and other compatible devices as long as they’re connected to your Google account.

With today’s update, Gemini is able to carry out more complex multimodal tasks. You might ask it to find a dog-friendly Italian restaurant and send it to your friend, or pull up your NFL team’s upcoming games and add them to your calendar, all in a single prompt.

ChatGPT Plus provided a concise summary with clear comparisons and compelling arguments for renewable energy. Gemini Advanced delivered a more detailed response, diving into economic and environmental impacts, while also breaking up the text so it was easier to digest.

Google has added multi-extension support for Gemini, allowing it to perform multiple actions with a single prompt.

If you were looking closely at the new Galaxy S25 series (more on that later), you might have noticed the phones — which come with Gemini preinstalled — sported a new UI for Google's AI assistant. Almost immediately after Samsung's Unpacked presentation concluded, a wave of users on other Android devices started noticing the new UI.

Commentary: Does an AI really know what makes good photos or art? Samsung's Galaxy S25 series with Gemini certainly thinks so. I'm not sold.

Get access to not just six months of Gemini Advanced, but also 2TB of Google cloud storage when you pre-order a new Galaxy S25.
