Google Home just stepped up its game with the Amazon Echo by adding multi-user support to the device.

This feature (now available in the U.S.) allows a family to use one device to deliver customized results for the individual user.  The new feature is being assisted by a company called Neural networks.  The company uses different characteristics of someone’s voice to know who’s speaking and when. The feature rolling out starting today to Google Home users in the U.S.

When a user sets up the feature, they will be required to say “OK GOOGLE” and “HEY GOOGLE” two times each.  The setup will then let an individual speak to it under his or her own account.

The feature will recognize up to six users.  The feature will be available in the United Kingdom in the coming months.
