"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthanks Rick hey everyone thanks so much for being here today let me tell you about how we've reimagined Google for the home two years ago we launched Google home with the goal of helping you and your family simplify the hectic moments in your life and we've seen that this is striking a chord with our users the number of queries on google home has gone up by over 400% in just the last year but now imagine not only being able to hear a response back when you ask Google assistant a question but imagine being able to see your response back that is the power of Google Home Hub with Google home hub we've redesigned Google's most helpful services like search YouTube Maps calendar and photos so they're easily controllable with your voice and provide glanceable help today all of us use many different display devices in our homes like phones laptops and even tablets but none of these were developed with the goal of helping you and your family in your home environment that is why we built Google home hub we obsessed about what a display designed specifically for your home should do how should it interact with your family what kind of hub should it provide how should it look in any room so we spent countless hours on the design of hub we incorporated soft rounded corners and premium materials including our own custom fabrics you can also choose from four beautiful colors to compliment any room the elegant floating display is big enough so that you can see things even from across the room but it's small enough to fit in any space in your home we also consciously did not put a camera on hub so that it was comfortable to use in the private spaces of your home like your bedroom we wanted to make sure that hub is not an bright glowing screen in your home so we made sure that hub can respond automatically to the ambient to do this we developed a feature called ambient EQ with ambient EQ we take a dedicated sensor and combine it with our own imaging algorithms so that we can fine tune the brightness and color of the display so now hub can respond automatically to the bright white tones of natural light that you get during the day and then gradually shift into the oranges and yellows of your indoor lights in the evening you can feel the magic of ambient EQ when you look at their photos on a hub and of course hub automatically turns the screen off at night so now no matter what time of day which room and even your home decor hub can blend seamlessly into your home finally we also wanted hub to be a communal device one that works for everyone in your home so we train hub on Google's industry-leading speech recognition technology by using voice match hub is able to recognize who is speaking to it and it's able to provide a personalized experience for each and every user in your home today 85% of Google home users are using voice match so by now you're probably wondering how have works so let me call up mark one of our product managers to show you how in action thanks to you hello everyone I'm excited to share with you a few examples how hub fits into my home mornings are crazy for most of us and having a little bit of help would be awesome with hub I can just say hey Google good morning good morning mark the time is 9:00 a.m. currently in San Francisco it's 64 in sunny the best way to get to work by cars via US 101 south and we'll take 45 minutes there are 11 entries in your calendar by the way remember to pick up eggs for dinner tonight because have recognized my voice it tells me everything I need to know while I'm finishing up my cup of coffee and in the evenings hub is great at helping me make dinner and relax Google home hub is the best display made for the kitchen so instead of fumbling around with your phone or the tablet while you have flowers on your hands or your washing dishes are worn oven mitts you can simply use your voice to get help in the kitchen you can set multiple timers you can

videos just by using my voice good example is I can say hey Google YouTube video now hub hey Google show me how to carve a pod had a car of Halloween pumpkins on YouTube it's a pretty epic pumpkin and of course hub is great for enjoying music as well with YouTube music you can easily find the perfect song video or artists hey Google Play something brand new alright here's some music on YouTube all I have to do is ask and have instant access to the massive catalog of music and videos by offering the ability to hear and see your music on up it really brings the concert right to your home through December hub comes with six months of YouTube premium on us including adroit videos and our new youtube music streaming service so we all know technology can make our lives easier and more fun but sometimes it's really hard to disconnect and enjoy time with friends and family hub can help with that too just put hub into downtime mode and it won't interact with anyone in the house except for those critical things like alarms it's a simple step but it makes a huge difference we're also introducing a set of tools to provide parents with a little bit of peace of mind with filters you can ensure that everyone in the home is a joint family friendly content so no matter if you're starting off your day if you're learning something new or if you're just chilling at home hub is there to help back to you dia thanks a lot mark as you can see hub can really help you simplify your home but there's more as Rick mentioned we want to build a thoughtful home for our users and where this comes to life the most is in how easy it is with hub to set up manage and control your devices you can even see the state of your entire home at a glance it truly is the hub for your thoughtful home so let me show you how today I have a few different smart devices in my home smart lights thermostat or Bell and even a door lock to be able to control and manage these devices I have to go to multiple different apps and if my husband wants to manage and control these devices he has to go to the same apps we have no one place to go to to down to get the state of our entire home did we forget to turn down the lights and lock the door in the living room before going to bed with Hub we're introducing home view with the swipe down from the top of the screen you can bring up a simple dashboard the dashboard shows you the state of your entire home at a quick glance and provides you quick access to all your devices this has been a radically helpful addition to my home home view was designed to be super easy and intuitive to use with a simple tap or with your voice you can even see things by room so you can turn down the temperature in the bedroom and turn up the music in the living room it's now all in one place for the very first time and easily accessible by everyone in your family and we're providing the same level of control even if you're not near your hub we've redesigned the Google map to be the mobile controller for your smart home it has the same home view dashboard as hub so now you can control all your devices from any phone even when you're not at home now with nest devices we have all the tools in place they help take the experience of a thoughtful home to the very next level so we made sure that hub was deeply integrated with nest devices like nest camera thermostat and even hello doorbell so for instance if you're having dinner and someone happens during your doorbell Hubb will automatically show you is at the front door and you can tap a quick response or use your voice to let your guests know that you'll be right there many people have connected devices in their homes today and they don't even know it hub can help with that whole view lets you control over 200 million devices from over a thousand brands many of them in your home today so now with a simple tap or with your voice you can control your dish hopper DVR your chromecast your vizio tv and even your Philips you light both with home view you have all the tools in place to help you build it and manage your thoughtful home whether you have a house full of connected devices like I do or you're just getting started with your first simple smart light bulb now we've talked a lot about what hub can do but what about when it's not in use we design hub to be the world's best photo frame so that you could relive your precious moments and Google home up we do this by a deep integration with Google photos Google photos has over 1.2 billion photos and videos uploaded every single day so now you can select any album that you've ever created or that was shared with you and we're introducing a new feature called live albums with live albums you can just select the photos of people that you want to see and what we will automatically do is create a new album with all the photos you've ever taken of those people you your photos also never get stale
