Google accounts are no longer required to access Gemini AI on the web. However, like ChatGPT, some limitations apply.

In the smart home, we'll likely use Gemini the same way we used Google Assistant, except it will hopefully be more precise in its answers and able to make more suggestions about home management. While many AI integrations may be behind the scenes, the average homeowner will see this more as a rebrand than anything else.

Since launch, the Gemini app has required that you sign in with your Google Account to access. That’s no longer the case. As of today, visiting gemini.google.com in Incognito Mode or similar takes you directly to the chat interface instead of the previous landing page.
