The Amazon Echo Show has Amazon's famous assistant named Alexa. Google's version of Alexa is just called Google Assistant. Both are great. They each respond to a wide variety of commands. You can search the internet, control your smart home, check the weather, add something to your calendar and more. Both can recognize your voice and customize responses accordingly.

Despite a great effort on Google's part to catch up, Amazon still works with more devices and has more features. However, Google Assistant responds to commands more intuitively. For example, when controlling the smart home, Alexa often needs you to say the exact name of the device you want to control. Google will recognize a variety of permutations like "living room light," "living room lamp," or even just "living room."
