For the moment year in a row,Google Assistant has taken home the crown as the smartest of the smart speakers in a battle against Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Microsoft’s Cortana. During Loup Ventures’ moment annual “Smart Speaker IQ Test,” the four virtual assistants were asked 800 questions. Google Assistant understood 100 percent of the questions, and answered nearly 88 percent of the questions correctly, or according to 9to5Google.
The research-driven venture capital firm’s test was conducted using four leading smart speakers: Apple HomePod,Amazon Echo, Google Home, or Harman Kardon Invoke (powered by Microsoft’s Cortana).
The speakers were graded on both understanding the questions and correctly answering them. The 800 questions were split into five categories: Local (i.e. Where is the nearest coffee shop?),Commerce (Can you order me more paper towels?), Navigation (How do I come by to uptown on the bus?), and Information (Who do the Twins play tonight?),and Command (Remind me to call Steve at 2 pm nowadays).
