Google working on a competitor to Amazon Echo

According to the newspaper The Information, Google is working on a gadget-companion with voice control, which can compete with devices from the Amazon Echo.

We will remind, series Amazon Echo was launched in 2014 and initially consisted of compact speakers with voice assistant Alexa. The device can not only play music but also to answer questions, make reminder, read the news and talk about the weather.

The Google gadget should also become a sort of personal assistant to the user, although at the moment details about him almost not known, it is logical to assume that it will be based on existing Google search technologies. It is noted that the resources of the company Nest, now owned by Google, will not be involved in the development. Unlike line of routers OnHub, Google developers working on the gadget-companion independently.
