Artificial Intelligence based speakers by Amazon Echo or Google home make a smart home

Technology has moved past the stage where remotes made our lives easier. As technology has evolved, our products are getting smarter. While in the past you could press a few buttons on the remote and switch on things, companies are now trying to innovate to the point where instead of starting your app you can just direct your digital assistant to take care of things. Though most of you must have experienced Siri, Galaxy, Google or Cortana--all personal assistants--on your phone or computer device, companies are now trying to integrate these software beyond your laptop or mobile screen. While portable speakers have been the domain of companies such as Bose, Harmon Kardon and Beats, there has been much disruption in the field of late.
