As Amazon allows third parties to develop apps, or what it calls &#8220;skills&#8221;, there are thousands of apps being added to Alexa, the voice service that powers Echo. Its functions are similar to Google Home for now, as it reflects people\u2019s general interests.

In terms of features, it uses Amazon Alexa voice service, so its voice capabilities are more or less identical to Amazon Echo. Further, it gives you access to all the Alexa \u201cskills\u201d too. What we like about this? It\u2019s a wallet-friendly option, and in our opinion, better looking too than the other smart home assistants too. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Price<\/strong>: USD129.99<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How to get your hands on it<\/strong>: Due to be released in May 2017, the last we checked the official Lenovo<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www3.lenovo.com\/us\/en\/new-products\/Lenovo-Smart-Assistant\/p\/99SD9EI1SA1\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it was not for sale yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Kuri Home Robot<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/smart-home-assistant-5.jpg\" alt=\"Kuri Home Robot\" width=\"1280\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/smart-home-assistant-5.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/smart-home-assistant-5-940x492.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heykuri.com\/Image\/Site-FB.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sort of a pioneer version of Star Wars\u2019 R2D2, Kuri is a home robot, and it\u2019s so unbelievably adorable that your kids will treat it like a digital pet.

But it can do cute things like coming into your room to wake you up in the mornings, and it\u2019s equipped with a camera so it can patrol your house when you\u2019re not in.
