Google Home vs Amazon Alexa - Calendars and Scheduling Your Life

Google Home vs Amazon Alexa - Calendars and Scheduling Your Life

It's time to pit Google Home vs Amazon Alexa (or Google Home vs Amazon Echo) in terms of features and capabilities. In each video in this series, I'm going to compare the two voice-enabled assistants (Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa).

In the second video of the series, I'm going to compare the calendar integration and scheduling capabilities of both the Google Home and Amazon Alexa or the Echo series of products.

Now, right off the bat in this battle of Echo vs Google, we get the flavor. What we find is that Amazon is very friendly to different mail and calendar ecosystems. Amazon Alexa is capable of scheduling events on iOS, Gmail, and Microsoft 365. In comparison, the Google Assistant is only capable of working with Gmail.

However, if you haven't already seen our video on connecting an iOS calendar, here it is: https://youtu.be/yogRyNO0qVw

After that, we see the inability of both the Google Home and Amazon Alexa in terms of full voice control features. Where the Google Home and Amazon Echo devices fall down is the inability to delete calendar events. I also found that some of the voice control was a struggle with both devices.

Despite it seeming like calendar functionality was an afterthought for both of these voice-enabled assistants, I did find that both had created multi-user functionality. This means you can set up everyone in your family on your assistant and then get their calendar connected and updated through your Google Home or Amazon Echo.

In the end, the Amazon Echo and or Amazon Alexa is the winner versus Google Home in terms of calendars and helping to schedule our busy lives.
