She builds shopping lists, updates your calendar and alarms, provides news, traffic and sports updates, plays music and audiobooks, answers your questions and connects to a constantly growing amount of home devices. With seven microphones, she can hear you from across the room – even while music is playing.

Day Two: Nest Protect

Day Two: Nest Protect

The new Nest Protect has been redesigned from the inside out to make sure your home is safer than ever before. Google's newfangled smart smoke detector has an industrial-grade smoke sensor that determines different types of smoke.
