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.

If you’ve ever wanted to use Google Gemini but didn’t want to go into trouble by making yourself a Google account, you’re in luck. Google has removed that requirement, allowing anyone to talk to the AI chatbot without logging in first.
