I am a dedicated Sonos user with a significant investment in your ecosystem, including the new Arc Ultra, Sub, and several Era 100s. While the hardware remains industry-leading, the software experience is currently fragmented for those of us in the Google ecosystem.

Currently, I am forced to place Google Nest speakers right next to my Sonos speakers because the Era and Ultra lines lack Google integration. I have no interest in Alexa or Sonos Voice Control; I want the power of the best AI ecosystem available today.

My message to the leadership team: Please set aside the corporate friction and technical pride. Integrate Google (and the new Gemini capabilities) into your latest hardware. Don’t force your loyal customers to choose between great sound and a great AI assistant.

    And GA is, to my knowledge, the system that serves the most languages via Sonos.

      Sure.. a feature request. Jeez.. come up with a better response and bring out an official statement that Gemini support will or will not happen. You're deliberately screwing over your customers by keeping everyone in the dark about this matter for over a year now.

      I've also invested thousands of euro's in the Sonos ecosystem, with one of the key features that the speakers supported Google Assistant. Now because of some legal issue, this feature will become obsolete when Google switches over to Gemini. This is just ridiculous.

      @Tom Conrad (the new SONOS CEO). Please make this a top priority and let your customers know what to expect.

      Although Sonos reps sometimes post (as above), this is primarily a user site, for users to help users.  Therefore, your abusive ranting is mostly falling on deaf ears.  If you wish to reach the Sonos CEO, I suggest you take to more direct contact methods, such as the support line or the CEO email (not that the CEO email goes directly to the CEO, but it is better than yelling at the clouds in here). 

      Heck, even the Sonos reddit is more direct than posting here; the CEO and other command staff actually have a presence there.

        No. I post here as myself, not as “Sonos”, and I for one cannot say any such thing.
