While Amazon has maintained an early lead in the battle to put a smart virtual assistant in every home, capturing 70% of the market, Google isn’t going down without a fight.

The search company has partnered with 15 companies to make new smart speakers and appliances, including four devices that will have built-in screens. Those devices with screens aren’t Android, Google’s mobile operating system, but instead Google Things, the company’s software specifically built for in-home devices.
