Overview
- Entering googlehome://assistant/voice/setup in mobile Chrome opens the Gemini for Home onboarding flow inside the Google Home app.
- Tests by multiple outlets show the method typically keeps Google Assistant active even though the UI presents a Gemini upgrade.
- Some users report receiving a Google Home Premium trial prompt and a follow-up email that appears to start fuller enrollment, but results vary widely.
- The setup flow exposes ten new Gemini voices with named options like Amaryllis, Magnolia, Violet and Yarrow, which can be applied immediately.
- Gemini for Home remains in early access with a gradual, per-home rollout, and reporters say it is unclear whether Google will close this workaround.
