Google Nest New Updates and New Features For May 19, 2019

It used to be called Google Home New Updates and New Features, but now it's Google Nest because of the re-branding going on after Google I/O 2019. All of our beloved #GoogleHome and #Nest products are being smashed together in an epic combination of two epic brands!

There are 20 new device types being added to the Google Home application, the new Nest Hub Max, a rebranded Google Nest Hub, the Pixel 3A, and the ending of the Works With Nest program. IFTTT sounds like it'll survive the latest cut down of integration with Google Assistant and maybe even the Works With Nest program ending. We know Amazon's Echo devices will still be integrated in some way. They seem to be getting special treatment.

We also know that Google has pulled back quite far on the Works With Nest program ending, and have even gone so far as to say all of your existing integrations will continue to work.

Personal references is an excellent capability that's coming and is already partially rolled out. You can ask your device to remember all kinds of personal things, as well as be able to remember a number of your places. You'll also get Picks For You, which will show you the best results for you specifically when you ask for something. All this in the coming months, with some of it showing up immediately. Face Match is on the way with the Nest Hub Max too.

Sonos One and Sonos Beam both got the Google Assistant, however I have to wait until July because I'm in one of the countries without that capability. This seems to be a Sonos decision at this point, but I'm more than annoyed after waiting 18 months to get this capability.

Your Smart Display with Google Assistant will get a new more interactive capability called Interactive Canvas. This new developers kit basically takes web-technology and sticks it on your smart display to engage voice, visual, and touch components. It's like navigating a website, and there will be literally thousands of uses for this, including gaming, shopping, web surfing, and much more. Those lines keep blurring.

All this and much more inside our Google Home and Google Nest updates and new features video. This one should hold you until the end of May at least, but the news keeps coming fast!
