Google's Answer to Amazon Echo

From CNBC

Google’s answer to Amazon's Echo is code-named ‘Chirp’ and is landing soon


A product team at Google is working on a hardware device that would integrate Google's search and voice assistant technology, akin to theAmazon Echo, Recode has learned.

Google's device will resemble its OnHub wireless router, according to several sources. We don't know if it has a name yet, but internally the project goes by "Chirp."

Sources said the device is unlikely to launch next week at Google's I/O developer conference, but plans are for it to land at some point this year.

We should, however, get a peek at it and its potential next week — voice search and intelligent personal assistance will occupy center stage at the company's splash show, along with virtual reality.
