Everyone knows the AI assistant is the next big thing in computer tech today. But Google Home is taking it to a new level. So how would you like Google Home to make calls for you…without your smartphone? Google Home’s voice calling make it’s debut.
Yes, this new system can place voice calls without a cellphone. Also, this new tool is now available in the US and Canada. It can support several users at one time. So let’s say you and a sibling are trying to reach a different person. This machine can know your contacts and will call the person of your choice. So that avoids confusion.
But you will need some kind of Google account, whether it be through You Tube, an Android smartphone, anything Google. Even a GMail account will do. However, the more contacts you have, the better Google Home will serve you. And here’s is the good part: It’s simple to use. All you have to do is say, “Hey Google, call (name a name)”. Domestic calls are free and easy. But for international calls, you need a Project Fi. Or, get ready to pay a lot of unnecessary fees. However, there’s one more thing. The voice calling may not drop on your system today. In some cases, it may take a few days, but that’s typical of most things Google.
In fact, that’s typical most things technology. I don’t know how well this is going to work. However, they are distancing themselves from Echo and other AI assistants. That’s what anybody in IT support needs to do. Tech experts say Google Home’s voice calling should work without a hitch. I hope so. They started promoting this in may, and now it’s August. At least it’s easy to set up. Just ask the speaker to set it up for you. But is it worth setting up?
