Google’s Kattukaran tells The Verge company still committed to smart displays

Google Home CPO Anish Kattukaran said in an interview on The Verge’s podcast that the Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG) unit is “definitely committed to smart displays,” and that they’ll “have news to share there soon.” The comments come a week after Google announced a new smart speaker for its AI-powered Gemini smart home platform, though there were no announced plans for a new Nest Hub smart display from the company, The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy notes. ” does present itself as an incredible form factor to interact with something like Gemini for Home,” Kattukaran said on the podcast. “If you think about the properties of a smart display – a microphone, which means audio in, a speaker, so audio out. It’s got a screen, which complements a voice modality, you can interact with it and visualize information.”
