Smart homes are no longer just a thing of the future. They make
families feel safer with connected security systems.
They help you save
energy and money with intelligent thermostats. And they offer hands-free
help and answers to a universe of questions with voice-activated smart
assistants.
Since Nest
joined Google four years ago, the team has experienced incredible
momentum. The company doubled its hardware portfolio last year—selling
more devices in 2017 than the previous two years combined. Meanwhile,
Google has sold tens of millions of products for the home
in just the last year, as more people use the Google Assistant to
listen to their favorite music, control their connected devices, and get
useful information about their day. To build on this momentum, we're excited to bring the Nest and Google Hardware teams together. The goal is to supercharge Nest’s mission: to create a more thoughtful home, one that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it. By working together, we’ll continue to combine hardware, software and services to create a home that’s safer, friendlier to the environment, smarter and even helps you save money—built with Google’s artificial intelligence and the Assistant at the core.
We’ve had a head start on collaborating since
our teams already work closely together, and today we’re excited to make
Nest an integral part of Google’s big bet on hardware.
