A speaker isn’t worth its salt this year unless it’s got some AI smarts baked in, and Polk audio is taking no chances. Not only is it releasing the Alexa powered Command soundbar, it’s hedging its bets with the newly-unveiled, Google Assistant-led Polk Assist smart speaker, too.

Looking not unlike the first-party Google Home which kick-started the Assistant-powered craze, it’s a voice activated speaker that leverages the power of the search giant’s AI helper to play tunes, control smart home gear, answer questions and set reminders, among many other things.
