GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Supporting MCP signals Google is willing to let users choose their preferred AI agent to control smart home devices instead of locking them into Gemini, which could reshape competition among AI assistants for control of everyday hardware. A phased rollout suggests Google wants to test compatibility and reliability before wider deployment.
- Google Home will support the Model Context Protocol connector
- Users may eventually swap Gemini for other AI agents like Claude
- Feature is initially limited to a small group of testers
