Alexa may not be the most capable voice assistant, but it is the most reliable. I use it and a few others daily for different things, and have never once got a random "I'm sorry, I can't do that right now" or "something went wrong try again in a few seconds". Also, it's the only one that I know of that can text reminders to me. I hope they don't ruin it.
- deepspace 3y agoWe have both a Google thingy and an Alexa in the bedroom, used almost solely as alarm clocks. I use Alexa, my partner uses Google. Alexa works just about perfectly, setting, unsetting and snoozing alarms as needed. But Google is almost comically incompetent. "Hey google, set an alarm for 4:20 am" -- "Alarm set for 8 pm". When Alexa starts ringing, I can quietly say "stop" or "snooze". To get Google's attention when it is making noise, both of us have to scream at it more ofte than not.
- jatins 3y agoYeah I think Home significantly deteriorates with time. - refuses to understand English at times (maybe it's picking some weird localisation) - will not hear. Period. Literally have to shut the power couple times.
