We had a feeling this one will follow: shopping on Google Home with a little help from the Google Assistant. We didn’t forget that “accidental” shopping by Alexa who “heard” a little girl wanting to buy a dollhouse and cookies. Immediately, Amazon did some adjustments to the authentication and security settings. Google may have seen a gold mine in the idea of home shopping just by asking a smart speaker and voice assistant so it’s launching shopping with the Google Assistant on Google Home.
