Google Home is a smart speaker developed by Google that uses Google Assistant to respond to voice commands. It allows users to control smart home devices like lights, thermostats, and more through voice. Google collects user data from Google Home to personalize ads. While it faces competition from Amazon Echo, Google Home has advantages like integration with more smart home devices and Google's search capabilities. It is expected to succeed due to improvements like multi-user support.
