Google Assitant Powered Speakers

Earlier this year, Search-engine giant announced that they will renounce ‘Google Assistant’ exclusivity for their homemade Speakers. And allow third-party developers to develop smart speakers integrated with Google’s voice assistant.

Simply speaking, the smart speaker is a voice-activated digital assistant. These speakers come equipped with microphones, to take voice commands and perform simple tasks using smart algorithms.

LG announcement also hints that most of its upcoming appliances could feature artificial intelligence. In its press note, LG mentions that the speakers can be used to turn on an LG appliance with the simple voice prompts.

“Sound technology has come a long way since LG introduced the first radio to Korean consumers almost 60 years ago,” said Seo Young-Jae, head of the convergence audio and video business division of LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “At this year’s CES, I’m confident audiences will be impressed with the amount of technology we’ve introduced into our audio products without compromising on sound quality.”
