Gemini for Home adds Continued Conversation feature

Google is enhancing Gemini for Home with the 'Continued Conversation' feature, addressing a top user request. This upgrade allows Gemini to maintain microphone activity for a few seconds after a 'Hey Google' command, enabling seamless follow-up questions without repeating prompts. Key improvements include better conversational context retention, global multilingual support, smarter side-talk detection to differentiate commands from chatter, and whole-home access for all users. Users can enable this feature through the Google Home app settings, aiming for a more natural and efficient smart home interaction.
