Google Home is a "smart home" device developed by Google, Inc.. Similarly to Amazon Echo, it is basically a voice-activated intelligent personal assistant designated as a standalone device for use in households, unlike other personal assistants, such as Cortana or Siri, which require a smartphone or a computer to work. It is powered by Google's own intelligent personal assistant software, Google Assistant.[3]
It provides the user with various services, ranging from alarm, calculator, or a weather forecast, through translator, daily news, playing music, or TV streaming, to traffic and travel information, shopping, thermostat and light control, as well as many others.[4] It also offers access to a number of partner services, including YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, IFTT, WEMO, Google Calendar and Google Photos.[5]
Google Home was released on 4 November 2016 in the United States of America for $129,[6] and on 6 April 2017 it was also made available in the United Kingdom for £129.[7] So far, it has not been released in any other countries, but Google aims to expand it soon to Australia, as well as Canada, Germany, France and Japan.[8] In addition to English, it is also gaining support for multiple languages: French, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese soon with Italian, Spanish and Korean coming later.[9]
