Basically it will answer any question that, if you did a Google search, the result would be separated into its own box at the very top. If you only get a list of websites, it probably won't work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I own both and the Google Home blows the Amazon Echo out the water !!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe so. Everything I am reading online is indicating that Google Home is more conversational and with the Google search engine behind it better results. The Echo, at this time, has more skills though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The answers it can provide are essentially based on Google's cards. If you can do a search on Google in a sentence format, and it gives you a card at the top with some information such as math responses, sports scores, or whatever, you'll get a response. It has some contextual awareness so if you ask it a follow-up question about the same subject it can answer those as well. I've gotten some oddities with this, in that some types of questions can't lead into others. Examples of some successful questioning: "Where's the nearest [store name]?" "When do they close?" "How long will it take to drive there?" "How far away is the sun?" "How long would it take to drive there?" "What's the square root of 6,555,443?" "What's that divided by 4?" "When did Finding Dory come out?" "Who was in it?" "How long is it?" Unsuccessful: "Who won the World Series?" [answer was ok] "When was the last time they won?" ["sorry, I'm not sure how to help"] "What's the mass of Earth expressed in Joules?" The first time I asked, the Cubs question was successful, but now it doesn't work, which is confusing. Considering it's not been out two weeks, it is expected to improve.
