Hello everyone. Thanks for tuning in again. Last week I went through a ton of
new features and updates for the Google Home and the Google Assistant
that came to us from Google i/o 2018. What I want to do this week is I
actually want to go through some of the features or the updates or the products
that we're missing from Google Assistant or the Google Home. These are things that
I would like to see in the future and I'd love to hear what you'd
like to see in the future. Now what we saw last week from Google at Google i/o 2018
was stunning. Google Duplex was an incredible feature, but you know on top
of that what I had hoped I would see are a couple of new devices from Google. They
talked about the smart display devices or the Google Home display devices. Those
are fantastic, don't get me wrong I want to see those. But what I didn't see was
an outdoor speaker or an outdoor device. This is what I'd like to see from Google
in the near future. We should be able to take one of our Google Home devices outside and
it should be portable. If we wanted to or it should be a lot like outdoor speakers
that are already available on the market, just with the capability of having a
Google Assistant on board. Something else that I feel was a little bit missing, and
we've seen some of these products from other makers where they have the battery
that attaches basically to the base of your Google Home, and then you can take
it and it becomes a portable speaker. I'd like to see that coming out from Google.
The reason I say that is again, I want to be able to head outside with
my device. I want my music outside and I want it to be capable of connecting and
using my phone cell phone connection to do everything that I wanted to do. That
would also allow me to take it in a car, maybe power it in different ways that
way. Something else that I expected and maybe this is expecting a little bit too
much. Maybe this is something that has to come from the Nest side of Google but
the different sensors that I have seen. We see in the Samsung
SmartThings, they have a motion sensor
they have door sensors, they have those kinds of things.
Even just a simple motion sensor or a simple light sensor attached to your
Google Home would allow a lot of different automation to come and and be
a part. You could you can attach that to Routines. You could attach that to all
kinds of functionality, and using the mic to sense more than just your voice would
also be beneficial in this regard. On that note we've heard from
Amazon that they're building a robot that they would hopefully integrate with
a version of Alexa. It could follow you around the home. We've heard from
Roomba that they have plans to map your home and be able to follow you or know
where you are in the home. We haven't heard anything from Google in regards to
mobility or moving around your home or being able to do more with your home. Now
what we did see a few weeks ago, and I talked about this a few weeks ago from
one of the filings that Google made a number of years ago in terms of a patent,
they have plans to use cameras to basically map your house and pick out
all kinds of options or objects and do those kinds of things. However, we still
haven't heard from them how they would implement that and give you more
automation capability, or how they would handle some mobility within
their device or create a device with some mobility. One thing I don't think
we've quite seen from Google yet in their Google Assistant is the capability
of interacting with really any app. I think when I heard the App Actions
feature being added to Android P, we're starting to get closer. Where you could
speak with Google Assistant and just ask for a specific action within any
app. It wouldn't necessarily have to have its own app within the Google
Assistant, within their whole shop there. That's what I'd like to see coming, it's
a little bit of a deeper grab for them to go out, look through your phone, or
look through the device that your you're using at the
moment. Whether that's a tablet or a phone and pull that application out. Then go
to the action that you're hoping for or at least try and get you there through a
command through your Google Assistant. So I'd like to see that little bit of
deeper automation within the Google Assistant before I'm going to use that
on a daily basis on my phone. One other thing that I haven't seen come out from
Google. They're really not keeping up with Amazon on the side of
automobiles or vehicles. You know, they just don't have an option for you in the
car that's really strong right now. Amazon has a few options that are a
little bit better. They've also been integrated into more vehicles at this
point. All right, so like I said go ahead and let me know in the comments down
below what features you'd like to see coming from Google related to their
Google Home or their Google Assistant. I'd love to hear what thoughts you guys
have it always amazes me what you are thinking about in terms of home
automation or even just personal automation. Thanks for watching everyone.
We'll see you next time.
you
