Key points
Google is trying to get more hardware partners to develop and release devices with Gemini for Home.
The company has announced that Gemini for Home is now a "full-stack AI" offering, combining Google Home APIs with Gemini's features.
It's expanding the Google Home Gemini built-in program to give companies a way to "skip the multi-year research and development phase" typically needed for the development of AI-enabled hardware.
Google is giving them access to fully validated scalable reference designs, including SOCs, sensors and mics, built by its partners.
Companies can then use those designs to create, mass produce and release cameras and speakers with Gemini controls.
