Report: Google’s “Chirp” will be its answer to Amazon’s Echo
June 13, 2025
Last year,Amazon released the Echo, “a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more—instantly. All you have to do is ask.” In a sense, it’s Siri or Google Now, but liberated from a smartphone and living in a stationary cylindrical device.
Much like the mobile voice assistants, the Echo – or Alexa – allows users to be more productive and save time. Instead of manually checking the web for developments on a breaking story, you’re able to just ask it. Instead of manually selecting a track to play from a display, you just tell the Echo to play it. Naturally, Google is eager to get in on the action, especially with all the advancements and abilities of its own Google Now search assistant.
According to a new report by recode:
The prospect of such a product would definitely be music to the ears of more than a few Android users: Just imagine being able to take the voice-related abilities of Google’s search and use them without needing to have a device in hand. Imagine being able to access your entire Google Play Music library even if your phone is sitting, forgotten, on a desk at work. In a way, this all seems so logical, it’s surprising Google didn’t have a product of this nature in play several years ago.
Be that as it may, all eyes will be on center stage at the I/O conference next week in hope that any relevant news regarding “Chirp” is discussed.
