Google Assistant is even more kid-friendly with The Wiggles
Google Assistant is already another handy way to distract the kids, and now Australian superstars The Wiggles are making their way onto the platform.
You can talk to Emma Wiggle on the Google Home, Google Home Mini, Google Home Max or compatible smartphone, just by asking, “Hey Google, talk to the Wiggles.”
From there, you can use voice commands to help Emma to get to The Wiggles’ concert on time in the style of a choose-your-own-adventure, with the ability to dance, play games, and sing along with the rest of the band along the way.
The experience will allow kids to practice core skills, including decision making, counting, and naming colours, and it’s available to users in Australia, the UK, U.S. and Canada from Wednesday.
Google has been steadily expanding its range of family-friendly games and activities, which also includes a range of stories for kids.
Having the world’s most popular children’s act is a clearly good get for Google, as voice assistants become embraced by families, and rivals Amazon launch competing products like a kid-friendly version of the Echo Dot.
