What happened
AT&T's Connected Life now integrates with Gemini for Home, which AT&T calls the first home security product to integrate with Google Home Premium. Gemini can describe camera events, like who delivered a package and how many items, and search footage with questions.
Why it matters
The features are only available with AT&T's professional $29.99 / month Connected Life monitoring plan, so the AI capability is tied to a premium subscription rather than the base system.
WHO IT HITSHouseholds subscribing to AT&T's $29.99 / month Connected Life monitoring plan get AI-generated event descriptions and natural-language video search, while other Connected Life customers appear not to receive these Gemini features.

AT&T launched its Connected Life system last December in partnership with Google and Abode, and the new integration builds on that arrangement by tapping Google's Gemini-powered Home APIs. Those APIs are designed to let smart home brands and developers build AI-powered features into their devices, which is how Connected Life gains capabilities like event descriptions and natural-language video search.
The practical effect is that the AI features sit behind AT&T's $29.99 / month professional monitoring plan, so the Gemini capabilities are packaged as part of a paid monitoring service rather than a standalone add-on. AT&T is also adding automatic arming or disarming based on proximity to the home, extending the system's automation beyond AI summaries and search.
The move may signal broader uptake of Gemini for Home among security providers: ADT has also hinted at bringing Gemini for Home features into its security systems, suggesting other home security products could follow Connected Life's integration.
