Google wants families to huddle around its Google Home products and have a good time. To that end, the company today announced that it has now added more than 50 new games, activities, stories to Google Assistant for Google Home. This means that users can now learn, play, and imagine together as a family with their Google Home device. These new experiences are available on Google Home, other smart speakers, and eligible smartphones starting today in the United States.
The Google Assistant now has activities that will keep the entire family entered, regardless of whether one likes musical chairs and the other loves trivia. The user experience is different compared to staring at a screen.
Users just talk to their Assistant can take advantage of all of these new games and activities while spending time with their loved ones. These new activities are rolling out today for Google Assistant on the aforementioned platforms.
Google has said that with their parent’s permission, children under 13 can also have their own personalized Google Assistant experience when they log into their own account, powered by Family Link.
Families can easily use the Assistant together as the Voice Match feature can be used to train the Assistant to recognize up to six voices.
