Sonos speakers to get Google Assistant

CAPE TOWN – In an earnings letter to shareholders, Wireless speakers company Sonos chief executive Patrick Spence announced that the company is planning to launch Assistant next week.

Patrick Spencer said in the letter:  “This feature will truly elevate the customer experience and marks the first time that consumers will be able to buy a single smart speaker and get to choose which voice assistant they want to use. We think giving consumers choice is always the right decision, and we anticipate this philosophy will be adopted in the industry over time,” he said. 

"We’ve been working on this for quite a while and are thrilled to be rolling it out next week. Through a software upgrade, Sonos One and Beam will support the Google Assistant in the U.S., with more markets to come over the next few months."
