Graveyard entry
Google Home Max.
Here lies an assistant.

Cause of death
Superseded at home. Google retired the $399 Home Max on December 14, 2020 in favour of cheaper speakers, and later stripped what remained of its software features, sound detection among them. The driver still plays; the smart parts depend on whoever maintains the cloud.
