Remember, it's made by a company that thinks it's appropriate to put text ads on the first spots of your search results, in increasingly confusing ways.
When I was younger, I dreamed of something like this. Voice control for my home! A Star Trek computer that I can interact with conversationally! I just say what I want and it happens! Now, I just see an internet-connected microphone in a software black box which I can only interpret as a giant frickin' security liability. I want this, but unless it's open source top-to-bottom, I won't ever actually put one in my home…
You're making it sound like it doesn't already exist. This is a me-too product from Google as a response to Amazon's Echo which already does home automation, voice commands etc.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Perhaps, but bear in mind that Google is a PRISM partner, whereas Amazon is not. The NSA will likely record every sound from your house, if you own this. Edit: Downvoters, please educate me on where I am wrong. Thanks.
I upvoted you before you went grey because I do think that's a salient point, but I would guess you're being downvoted because the suggestion that the NSA will record the activity in your home around the clock is considered excessively paranoid. These devices usually perform hotword detection locally and don't start sending data up to the cloud until the hotword is spoken, at which point they capture only a few secon…

You probably have on in your pocket already, is the thing. (I agree though, I don't want this in my house, and I turned off the "Ok Google" functionality on my phone)
I know some technophiles coworkers who have an Echo, and I couldn't for the life of me trust Amazon, Google (or even Apple) with potentially the always-on stream of audio from my house.
price?
With Google Home, add your "everyday tasks" and voice history to this! ^^

Please, please, please be a completely open, extensible platform... I want to be able to control my Apple TV with my Google Home device. I want to be able to control my Phillips Hue and LiFX bulbs. I want to be able to build my own custom home automation server endpoints and point my Google Home commands at them. I want to be able to remote start my car with a voice command. I want to be able to control my Harmony re…
