Google Home will soon get better at recognizing you

The Verge
Google is updating its Home platform to improve person identification using non-biometric signals and sound detection for more accurate smart home notifications.

Summary

Google is enhancing its Google Home smart cameras by expanding facial recognition capabilities to include non-biometric identifiers, such as body size and clothing, when a person's face is obscured. Additionally, the Familiar Faces library will now automatically update with recent images to ensure higher accuracy. Furthermore, Google's AI can now detect and label specific sounds, such as alarms or footsteps, even if they occur off-camera, while new System Health alerts for Nest thermostats help users identify HVAC issues.
