Tested critically: We find it in Google Home and Home Mini Free

I remember exactly September 20, 2017 in Potsdam, in upstate New York, on the huge campus of Clarkson University. An impressive accommodation (sports), each student hosting a barbecue and parking with large SUVs. Students, that is to say.

My first encounter with American university life was impressive in itself, but for quite a different reason, that date is engraved in my memory: Google. To be more specific, the Google Home speaker who has been in the Netherlands for a few days and speaks Dutch!

My son and his American roommates naturally communicated with the smart speaker. As if it was a fifth roommate. Access the Internet by speaking and having to do all kinds of things, like turning on the television, turning on lights, or adding an appointment to your calendar. I had that! Twice, guess what was in my suitcase at home.

Innovative, sublime, addictive and last year from time to time because everything was happening in English. I go to bed and get up with Google Home and his little brother, Google Mini, but now it's really fun. Google finally launches the Dutch Google Assistant accompanied by the associated speakers.

In the bathroom, I tell you "Hey Google, hello" for a week and a half, then the wizard greets me good morning, tells me the time he's doing and me says he's busy. the way to work. Finally, a Spotify playlist will be available from the speaker or newsletter published by the ANP
