Before this keynote (maybe afterward too?) Alexa can do way more things than Google Assistant can.

Integrations!=capability. I use a echo dot and it sucks at voice recognition half the time. I am dumping it very soon and getting a Home.

It's part of capability. Siri's almost useless because it's tied in with Apple services. Google's quite similar. I don't want a walled-garden assistant or to pick a different assistant for every possible service that could help me.
