Sorry to be dense but what is Google Home

Google Home Mini is a little speaker, currently costing £39, which
connects directly to the internet
https://store.google.com/product/google_home_mini ;.

You can then ask it to do things, like play music, radio, make a
shopping list, set a reminder, and now of course, phone calls!

What it doesn't really have is all the skills the Alexa has - you can
add certain extras called "actions" to Google Home, but I've never
really found that it needed stuff like that as it knows a lot out of
the box.

As to whether it is better than the Alexa, well between the two
smaller devices, the Google Mini and the Echo Dot, I think it's safe
to say the Mini has a better speaker, but the Dot can do more things.

All very subjective though and I'm sure there will be other opinions!
