The system leverages Google Cloud Agentspace for long-term memory retention, OpenAI’s Whisper for robust speech recognition, and Gemini 2.5 for advanced vision processing capabilities. The developer envisions seamlessly integrating the AI into the user’s home environment, allowing for intuitive interaction with devices and information.
