Google Home - Google's Alexa competitor, an in-home voice assistant

After the keyboard war, voice assistant war begins.

Want...! But already have two Alexas.... hmmm!

Yes, but wheeeeeeeen?

If Google makes a solid hardware that is user friendly then I see this as a huge threat to Alexa.

Everyone wants to talk to a "what ever" connected, but how many continue talking to their couple, kids, neighbors… lonely world that we have become.

Product Hunt needs to add pricing to the top level

I hope it's at least a router!

Was thinking about getting an Echo but wasn't really sure what I'd use it for other than controlling some smarthome stuff and asking about the weather. Way more excited about Google Home– voice commands tied into Google Now and all your Google services is gonna be a winner.

I've actually had it for several months. I didn't get to play around with it too much, but for now its main use is with Google Music. I ask it to play songs, bands, albums or just generic stuff like "saturday morning music" and it's pretty good at it. I also ask it the weather, I occasionally set reminders on it and once or twice I set a countdown. I guess I'm not yet accustomed to it being there.

Pros:

Quick & easy setup, nice design, decent sound quality.

Cons:

No multiple profiles, no voice recognition, often fails to understand commands.

The sieve's from IKEA :)
