With Gemini, users will be able to make multi-step and complex commands in natural language, and the AI chatbot will be able to complete the action.

However, there are certain limitations. The feature works with both text and audio inputs but can only accept English language prompts currently. Additionally, the extension does not support commands for security devices that require a pin and it cannot stream video feed from cameras. It also cannot execute routines currently.
