Google Home is the smart speaker and voice assistant, which was developed by Google. It is a voice-based virtual assistant called Google Assistant. It can be employed as a portable speaker in different rooms throughout the house so that you can play music and do fun things with your voice.

It plays music, accesses media, you can make calls and manage tasks. It also functions as a central hub to control your smart devices such as smart thermostats, digital media players, and more. Google Assistant is comparable to Amazon’s Alexa. It is an artificial intelligence-powered digital voice assistant and one of the most sophisticated and efficient virtual assistants ever created.

It helps the Android and iOS users to ask questions using the mobile device, and like Alexa, the Google Assistant is happy to provide you with answers. It is an evolution of Google Now, and it is not just limited to Google devices anymore. Google Assistant can be found on smartphones. An iOS version of it is also available for iPhone users.

When people say Google Home, this is known to be the physical hardware that you may have when you want something that you can use for your different needs. You can use Google Home when you want to connect it to some of the items that you may have at home. For example, you would like to connect it to your speakers or you may even connect it to some of your appliances. Google Assistant is something that you will use when you want to make sure that you will play different music, you will check the weather, or you will try to shop online. You can ask it to do some tasks for you easily too.
