What was your first experience with Google Home like? From my own personal experience, I’d say Google Home is one of the best initiatives by Google. Google Home is a smart home, powerful speaker and voice assistant just like the Amazon’s Echo range. Just that this one piece has a touch of Google creativity on it. There has been some development on the Google Home device since its first release and there are now products like Google home mini and Google home max which basically serves as a hub for other tech devices in your home.
Ordinarily, without being connected to any other gadget, it can be used to set appointments, answer questions you might have and update you about your to-do-list. It can also be connected with a series of other smart devices to derive the most out of the home automation capability other than playing music and answering queries.
