  "summary": "A user who signed up for the Google Home Public Preview program expressed disappointment with Gemini on their smart speakers, finding it to be an \"absolute disaster\" after being frustrated with Google Assistant.\n\nThe user had expected Gemini to be an improvement over Assistant.\n\nGoogle has expanded access to Skills, a feature previously limited to certain users, to all Gemini users aged 18 or older with a personal Google account. This change allows free users to access their Gems, which will migrate to Skills starting November 17.\n\nGoogle has also integrated Google Wallet as a Connected App in Gemini, enabling users to retrieve information from passes such as loyalty cards and event tickets. This feature is currently available in the US on personal Google Accounts.",
