Google Home’s new Home Brief feature is getting mixed reviews, spouting spooky glitches for some, spot-on results for others.
Google recently launched a new Home Brief feature for Google Home that summarizes daily home activity using camera footage.
Some early users say the feature isn’t functioning accurately, reporting ghost sightings and misidentifying animals and objects.
The feature is still in early access and costs $10/month as part of Google’s Home Premium plan.
Google recently rolled out a major update to Google Home. Home Brief is one of the new Gemini-powered features that arrived with that update. It’s designed to give users a quick overview of their day by automatically identifying key household events and summarizing hours of footage into a short, easy-to-digest recap. The idea sounds promising, but it appears the feature isn’t working the way it should for everyone.

A Reddit user recently shared a screenshot of their Home Brief, which summarized multiple instances of someone walking into their living room, sitting on a recliner, and returning later in the evening.
