Comment about chart

The Chart was much better for seeing when products were being released. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.139.75 (talk) 20:24, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! In general, Wikipedia recommends using WP:PROSE rather than tables, charts or lists in articles. This information is easily presented through text rather than a table. LocalNet (talk) 20:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Article name

The article currently uses the "Google Home" name, which is in the process of/has been phased out in favor of "Google Nest". All new products, as well as the existing Home Hub, are being rebranded under the "Google Nest" banner. It would seem to make sense to rename this article as Google Nest, but there is already an article called Google Nest, which traces the history of Nest Labs, the company that used to be independent but was bought by and now merged into Google. I don't think merging the two articles together would be an elegant solution, since there is already a good amount of content in each and they are on 2 different topics at the moment. Would it make sense to rename Google Nest back to Nest Labs and restrict the article to a specific timeframe in its history, and make the renamed Google Home article the place for all product info released since the company merged into the Home division of Google? I'd like to get some thoughts. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 16:11, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Thanks for writing that up. Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Personally disagree per WP:COMMONNAME. ViperSnake151  Talk  02:52, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

... Could you elaborate perhaps? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 05:14, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Historical name of the product. "Google Nest" is confusing and ambiguous. ViperSnake151  Talk  14:52, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

New Google Home article needed

The original Google Home was a physical smart speaker and input device for Google Assistant. This device and its successors have been rebranded as Google Nest speakers and the name of this article has been revised accordingly. But just to make editorial lives entertaining, Google (Alphabet?) has recycled the name Google Home as a 'concept', that embraces chromecast devices, IP cameras, doorbells, light switches, and no doubt eventually will wake you up with the morning paper and a cup of tea in bed. Right now, it is (at least) an Android app that has mysterious terms like "homes" and "rooms", with no indication about whether these are physical or logical constructs; nor does it give any clue of what the overall concept is. See also Google Home 2.31 redesigns Media controls, lets you trigger Routines on other devices again (9to5Google.com). Would someone who has the slightest idea of what is going on care to write another article to enlighten the rest of us? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 14:33, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

— Assignment last updated by Thecanyon (talk) 05:32, 12 December 2023 (UTC) Google Home, characterized as an intelligent speaker powered by Google's AI-based virtual assistant called “Assistant”, represents a monumental leap in technology. In November 2016, this device was introduced, combining voice recognition technology with a variety of functions, making it possible for users to interact with their connected devices, execute tasks, and access information using natural language. The Google Home operates as a central hub for multiple at-home smart devices, enabling— Assignment last updated by Carolinestapp (talk) 23:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
