The software behind the Google Assistant app and Amazon Alexa app is constantly improving. Every platform has its own focus points. For example, Amazon Alexa can be linked to more smart products and, for example, Google Assistant has its own cloud service to store your favorite music. Both platforms are compatible with both Android and iOS devices. The integration of existing apps on your smart device goes smoothly in both the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa app.

Voice Assistant

Voice Assistant

You can give you voice assistant commands with a so-called trigger. With Google Assistant, it's 'Hey Google' or 'OK Google'. With Alexa, it's 'Alexa'. After this, Google Assistant or Alexa will do what you asked. So both voice assistants work in the same way, but they differ in their specific functions. For example, you have more time to give a second command to Alexa without having to repeat the trigger 'Alexa'.
