BACKSTORY: Google LLC (/ˈɡuːɡəl/ (listen)) is an American multinational technology company focusing on online advertising, search engine technology, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing, e-commerce, artificial intelligence,^[9] and consumer electronics. It has been referred to as “the most powerful company in the world”^[10] and one of the world’s most valuable brands due to its market dominance, data collection, and technological advantages in the area of artificial intelligence.^[11]^[12]^[13] Its parent company Alphabet is considered one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.

BACKSTORY: Google Nest is a line of smart home products including smart speakers, smart displays, streaming devices, thermostats, smoke detectors, routers and security systems including smart doorbells, cameras and smart locks.^[2]

The Nest brand name was originally owned by Nest Labs, co-founded by former Apple engineers Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers in 2010.^[3] Its flagship product, which was the company’s first offering, is the Nest Learning Thermostat, introduced in 2011. The product is programmable, self-learning, sensor-driven, and Wi-Fi-enabled: features that are often found in other Nest products. It was followed by the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in October 2013.^[4] After its acquisition of Dropcam in 2014, the company introduced its Nest Cam branding of security cameras beginning in June 2015.^[5]

The company quickly expanded to more than 130 employees by the end of 2012.^[3] Google acquired Nest Labs for US$3.2 billion in January 2014, when the company employed 280. As of late 2015, Nest employs more than 1,100 and added a primary engineering center in Seattle.^[1]^[6]^[7]

After Google reorganized itself under the holding company Alphabet Inc., Nest operated independently of Google from 2015 to 2018. However, in 2018, Nest was merged into Google’s home-devices unit led by Rishi Chandra, effectively ceasing to exist as a separate business.^[8] In July 2018, it was announced that all Google Home electronics products will henceforth be marketed under the brand Google Nest.^[9] (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
