I haven't used Alexa, but Siri on HomePod is way behind Google Assistant in capabilities and recognition reliability. I use it moderately for setting timers, reminders, shopping list, controlling my HomeKit lights, and getting weather.
I'd judge it to be 80% reliable in picking up commands (but the way human memory works, it's likely much higher than that but the times it fails are more memorable)
But HomePod is a phenomenal speaker.

- hinkley 6y agoIf we keep making these, you're going to need to name each device. Hey HomePod, play something sinister.
- ballenf 6y agoThat's true, unless you have privacy options enabled in your Google account. In which case your Google Home becomes a doorstop. At least that was my experience before I gave away a gifted Google Home because it refused to let me proceed through setup without disabling a bunch of privacy settings across my entire Google account.
