While Amazon will likely continue to improve its support for multiple profiles, Google’s more extensive personal results definitely make it the superior assistant in this area. Secondly, both can understand 'and' both in commands and in items, so you can say 'turn off the lights in the office and turn on the lights in the living room' or 'add milk and bananas to my shopping list' without, say, getting a single item labeled 'milk and bananas.' This mode is off by default in both cases, since it can lead to some false positives.

Alexa, meanwhile, currently offers only personalized shopping, calling and messaging, and limited media options, though it does have a nifty Guest Connect feature that lets you connect to a friend’s Echo device if, for example, you’re staying with them, to get access to your own data.Īlexa and Google Assistant also have two voice-related features worth noting: First, both have an optional 'follow-up' mode, in which they remain active for a few seconds after answering your query, so you can issue another command without saying the wake word again.
