Alphabet has kept Nest as a separate division from Google for at least two years, but by joining them, it's making it easier for Google to
add artificial intelligence software like Google Assistant into Nest's products, like the Cam IQ Indoor.
This is the first step towards our larger goal, an
artificial intelligence that runs anywhere and interacts exactly like a person; an AI that understands context, can communicate naturally and hold a complete conversation... With our second Kickstarter we are looking to expand the community [and deliver]
software that's customizable and lets you rename the assistant and change its personality and appearance to fit you... We've also
added a screen so you can see things like calendar entries, times and even security camera feeds.
