Google appears to have started testing a new Google Assistant voice on Nest devices.
The new voice is reportedly available for a few users and offers more conversational responses.
The voice is part of the upgraded Gemini-powered Google Assistant expected to roll out to Nest users this year.
Google Assistant (https://www.androidauthority.com/gemini-vs-google-assistant-3429348/) on Nest smart speakers and displays is set to receive a significant upgrade powered by advanced Gemini (https://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-google-gemini-3331678/) language models. Google shared its plans for the improved Assistant in August this year, highlighting that it would offer more natural-sounding voices with a Gemini Live-like conversational experience and richer responses. Although the upgraded Assistant hasn’t rolled out widely, it seems Google has started testing a new voice with a few users.
According to recent reports on Reddit (via 9to5Google (https://9to5google.com/2024/12/02/gemini-google-assistant-voice/)), Google Assistant on Nest speakers appears to be using a new voice when answering specific queries. Users say that the Assistant only uses the new voice for conversational responses and reverts to the old voice for basic questions.
