Welcome to The Sideload episode 11, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will welcomes Ben Schoon back to the show to discuss his experience using Gemini for Home, Google's AI-optimized suite of tools now available in early access. It's a surprisingly positive experience in Ben's eyes, but does that just make its letdowns sting that much more? Plus, Ben and Will talk through how Gemini can shine on Google TV, whether it's improving the right parts of Android Auto, and Ben's favorite smartphone of 2025.
