Kathmandu – Google has introduced a new feature called ‘Continued Conversation’ in its smart home devices, addressing a key user demand. This update allows users to interact with the Gemini device in a more natural and seamless way. Upon first saying “Hey Google,” the device will respond and keep the microphone active for a few seconds, indicated by pulsing lights on the device, eliminating the need to say “Hey Google” again for follow-up questions.

The update brings four main improvements:

  • Contextual Conversation: Unlike previous versions of Google Assistant, Gemini now remembers the context of the conversation, reducing the need to repeat questions and fostering a more natural interaction.
  • Multilingual Support: The feature is not limited to English but is available in all supported languages and regions worldwide.
  • Household Conversation Differentiation: The smart AI can distinguish between general conversations among family members and commands directed at Gemini, minimizing unnecessary responses.
  • Easy Accessibility for Everyone: Once enabled, all family members and guests at home can use this feature.

To activate Continued Conversation, users need to go to the settings on their Google Home app and select the ‘Continued Conversation’ option under ‘Gemini for Home Voice Assistant’. This enhancement is expected to make interactions with smart home devices more efficient and faster.
