Google just pushed me one step closer to ditching Google Home for Amazon Alexa

Google has, in quite literal terms, turned into an AI company. But ironically enough, it has evidently and consistently drifted away from that one product category meant to make AI omnipresent: smart speakers. Google’s indifference towards its smart speaker lineup for the better part of the decade and its declining everyday performance have already led people to question their decision to be in the Google Assistant ecosystem.

While Google recently announced its first smart speaker in several years, it’s still not publicly available. And on top of that, Google has seemingly discontinued the Nest Mini and Nest Audio.
