I've been eagerly awaiting Google's routines since the company announced they were in the works back in October. At CES, it looks like my wait is nearly over. I've seen routines in action, and while they look similar to Apple's Scenes or Amazon's routines, Google's have the potential to be even better.

I saw the demo while getting hands-on time with the Lenovo Smart Display -- an Amazon Echo Show competitor with Google Assistant built-in. Google's representative simply said, "Hey, Google, good morning," and a lamp turned on, then Google Assistant showed the weather, a calendar for the day, and started playing a personalized news feed.
