Credit: Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini now lets you co-create stories on the fly, interrupt the narrative mid-scene, and remix classic tales. Google has made timers and alarms smarter and more accurate. Turning off a device now plays a soft, descending tone that matches the action.

Two weeks ago, Google rolled out a Home update that allows Gemini to track conversations for longer . Fast forward to today, another Gemini for Home update is rolling out. Along with that, we’re getting smarter timers and alarms, as well as a few bug fixes.

Story time with Gemini Starting with the latest change to Gemini, Google says on its support page that it is making story time interactive. Specifically, you’ll now be able to co-create stories on the fly, interrupt the narrative mid-scene, and remix classic tales. For example, you could tell Gemini to create a story about your kids traveling to Mars.

Midway through, you could tell the AI to jump to the part where they reach the red planet. Or if you tell Gemini to recite the story of the three little pigs, you could ask to replace the big bad wolf with a T-Rex.
