Amazon might have been one of the first ones to integrate a voice assistant to a home entertainment speaker but is it not alone. Google's new Home is almost a carbon copy of Echo but uses Google's own Assistant to answer your questions and fulfill your demands.

Another new assistant speaker to take on the two is LingLong DingDong. No, it's not an Onion product playing on stereotypes but instead an actual product coming from China. It works with your voice just like Echo and for example serves you information about the weather, plays your favorite music or adds appointments to your calendar.



As Google's and Amazon's products are limited in their language support there certainly is room for another device that works in Chinese. And according to the company, called Beijing LingLong, they started the development before Amazon released Echo.



Even though LingLong DingDong might be successful thanks to the large Chinese market it is far from especially Google's offering. DingDong doesn't support AI like its competitors and thus it does not understand the natural language as well.
