Oddly enough this was the most exciting thing for me today.
I use a Google Home in my kitchen almost exclusively for hands-free timers and music control when cooking/cleaning. My Home got bricked by an update last month and was going to just forgo replacing it because I am getting tired of Google's diminishing support of their products and the privacy concerns.
My only concern is Siri is easily the worst assistant when compared to Google or Amazon. I just hope it is good enough to handle my music and timer requests.
- Bud 6y agoI definitely agree with you that Siri is (currently) the worst assistant, but if it helps, it has consistently been just fine for me with music and timers.
- ssully 6y agoYeah I figure it should be able to accomplish that. I am sure there are people who use these home speakers for more complex tasks, but after the honeymoon period of owning it, my usage of the speakers basically broke down to: 1. Timers 2. Music 3. Asking about commute times
- gnicholas 6y agoI agree that this is one of the more interesting things today (especially for folks with an iPhone 11 Pro, who aren't looking to upgrade). There's already a way to use Siri skills to access OK, Google through your iPhone [1] without letting Google listen in on everything you say. It would be awesome if there were a way to do this from HomePods... 1: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3393159/how-to-use-hey-siri-to-control-google-assistant-on-iphone.html https://www.computerworld.com/article/3393159/how-to-use-hey...
