Amazon Echo’s ultra-popular voice assistant, Alexa, came into our lives just a few short years ago. Now, many households rely quite heavily on Alexa, and she plays quite a significant role in simplifying our daily routines.
The built-in speakers that come with most Macs are pretty darn good, especially (or so I’m told) on the iMac Pro. But if you want a high-end, expensive (about $700) set-up, you can pair two HomePods for some intense audio.
At Amazon, we try to make families’ lives easier every day—whether that’s by delivering diapers and groceries in a pinch, helping find that perfect Halloween costume, or creating family-friendly experiences on Amazon devices. Our kid-friendly products—like Fire Kids Edition tablets, Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, and more—are built from the ground up for kids with content that’s hand-selected by our teams to be age appropriate and fun.
Waking up to a blaring alarm—or accidentally forgetting to set an alarm entirely—isn’t the best way to start your day. For a more pleasant wake up, and to help manage your morning and evening routines, we teamed up with Lenovo to build the Assistant into a new alarm clock for your bedroom.
For the past three years, the Google Assistant has been helping people around the world get things done. The Assistant is now on over one billion devices, available in over 30 languages across 80 countries, and works with over 30,000 unique connected devices for the home from more than 3,500 brands globally. We’ve been working to make your Assistant the fastest, most natural way to get things done, and today at Google I/O we’re sharing our vision for the future.
