Google is working on a competitor at Amazon Echo

Chirp is the new project that the Google teams are working on. Their goal: to compete with the now famous Amazon Echo and its voice assistant Alexa.

Chirp could therefore allow you to say "OK Google" all day long for anything and everything. As rumors began to swell around an Amazon Echo clone, the Recode site claims that Google will feature the product's voice search and artificial intelligence capabilities at its I / O conference scheduled for next week. As for the product, it should be available later this year.

The most surprising thing is not that Google wanted to create a rival to Echo, but rather that it had to wait so long for it to decide to tackle it. Google has big ambitions for the smarthome universe. The power of Google Now, high-end voice recognition technology and its OnHub router (in the photo above) are all assets that the giant has had in its sleeve for more or less long.

Google also owns Nest and its line of health home automation products. Mixing the company's insatiable thirst for user data and a smart speaker for the health home seems almost inevitable! Remember what Sundar Pichai wrote this year: "For the future, the next big step will be the disappearance of the very concept of" device ". Over time, the computer itself, whatever form it takes, will be a smart assistant that will help you throughout the day. We’re going to move from mobile to artificial intelligence. "

Rumor has it that the Chirp will be based more on performing digital tasks than buying online. It could harness the power of Alphabet services like Google Now, Play Music, Gmail, Calendar, and maybe even use a Chromecast or Android TV through a single Wi-Fi network. With it, you might as well say that you'll never be able to do without Google services again!
