Google’s “Chirp” could be the device to kill Amazon Echo

Google's response to the Echo, Amazon's voice-controlled Bluetooth speaker/smart home hub, will arrive sometime this year!

The device, which will reportedly look like Google's OnHub Wi-Fi router, is said to be codenamed "Chirp" and integrate Google's existing voice assistant (seen on Android and in Chrome) with its search. 

As a direct Amazon Echo rival, the device will likely play a major role in Google's smart home strategy.

The Nest team was reportedly interested in the building the Echo killer, but Google decided to go with its own product team.

Not much else is known about the device. Apparently the Chirp device probably won't launch at next week's Google I/O developer conference, but Google could show off its capabilities (in some form) on stage.

Since its quiet launch in 2014, the Echo has quickly ascended to become one of the most beloved gadgets in recent years. Its Alexa voice commands make controlling music and smart home gadgets frictionless. This year Amazon added two more products with Alexa, the Echo Dot and Tap


Third-party companies can also now bake Alexa into their own devices. The Triby, which launched late last month, is the first non-Echo device to incorporate Alexa.
