My boy wants a smart speaker for Xmas and I am thinking of also buying one for the kitchen. I am a bit of a luddite when it comes to things like Siri and Alexa (I never use it), looking around the three options appear to be Siri, Google or Alexa. These are not for me and the boy and my wife are probably more interested in the digital assistant functionality than audio performance. With that in mind are there any real differences between Google, Siri and Alexa? Do they all work pretty much as well as each other? The Apple homepod is an excellent little speaker but I honestly have no idea about how good the voice stuff is.
