These used to be the best smart speakers. Now they are dumb

"Hey Google, play Bon Iver"

"Okay, playing the YouTube channel Mark Rober on workshop display"

"No, google play it on this speaker"

"Tris Speaker played center field for Boston and Cleveland in the early 1900s"

"Nevermind"

"Ok, glad to help!"

I would agree they've gotten dumb. Frequently the completely miss commands; or misinterpret commands. Same hardware I've always had so must be something in the software.

I have two close to each other and paired to make a "home group" that provides room filling stereo sound. This is a good deal but I wouldn't pay more for them.

These devices are transitioning from Google Assistant to Gemini. Google Assistant hasn't received any significant updates in years - both feature set and quality of responses have suffered as a result. As with any major software transition, you can expect Gemini to be glitchy.

cite a source that 'these devices' are transitioning to Gemini. The Android client is, but this device? I've seen nothing that makes me believe this product is anything but dead.

ps, i own 4 of them. same stupid ridged-google-assistant since day 1.

thx for the link. reading further than you by an inch - "only to Nest Aware subscribers" ($8/month)

but at least it appears to be coming to these speakers one day. so, thank you for that link, again.

I'm with one of the first posters... These speakers went from being super useful to steaming hot garbage. Before, you'd ask a question and 9 out of 10 times you'd get a good answer. Now, it gives irrelevant responses, the "hmm, I'm not sure." response, or doesn't even respond at all. If you have a smart display, it'll just give you a link on the display, which is useless for a speaker that I want to hear audible answers from. The only reason I still have these connected is that they work about 80% of the time to turn off my lights and play white noise.

Do these have Gemini yet? I have several Google Minis throughout my home and honestly the only reason I haven't replaced em' all with Alexa Dots yet is because of the ability to play uploaded music from my YouTube Music library. The Dots consistently do a much, much better job of actually understanding my commands... And they recently got "Alexa+ Early Access" which is absolutely delightful.

I turned on Preview Program for the Google Minis hoping they'll get Gemini to match the Alexa+ but so far no go.
