Google to launch new Home speaker
Posted on: 17/Feb/2017 5:48:40 PM
Google has announced that it will be launching voice-activated shopping from its artificial intelligence-powered Home speaker. Users can simply tell the speaker to order items - diapers, paper towels, or trash bags, for example, and get delivery from any of dozens of participating retailers.
A senior executive at Google said, If picking up paper towels or stocking up on coffee is on your list, consider it done. To help you keep up with your busy schedule and shop for the things you need, we`re introducing shopping with your Google Assistant on Google Home. Today is just the beginning of what`s possible for shopping with the Google Assistant. Over the coming months, we`ll continue to add new features and enable purchases for other apps and service.
The service ties in with tech giant`s delivery arm Google Express, whose US retailers include Costco, Whole Foods Market, Walgreens, PetSmart, and Bed Bath & Beyond.
