Join 25 million people and teams that organize, plan, and collaborate on tasks and projects with Todoist. 'The best to-do list' by The Verge. Google Nest, previously named Google Home, is a line of smart speakers developed by Google under the Google Nest brand. The devices enable users to speak voice commands to interact with services through Google Assistant, the company's virtual assistant.Both in-house and third-party services are integrated, allowing users to listen to music, control playback of videos or photos, or receive news.
Todoist is one of the most powerful task management apps out there, and part of the reason for that is its strong integration with third-party services. To date, though, it has lacked decent integration with Google Calendar, relying on half-baked tie-ins that barely worked. Today, that changes, as Todoist is announcing official integration with Google Calendar.
With this new official integration (via TechCrunch), Todoist will be able to directly pull information from Google Calendar and vice versa. So, if you’ve set an event in Google Calendar, it can be added to a task list on Todoist, and a task with a due date on Todoist can be directly added to the calendar.
Recurring tasks also appear as multiple events in your calendar, and anything changed on either end of the integration will appear on the other side. The integration is completely two-way, which is fantastic to see.
In Calendar, Todoist tasks create their own calendar view, meaning you can keep them somewhat separate from your standard events. You can also easily keep your calendar free of excess clutter by enabling this integration on a project-by-project basis, rather than your entire Todoist task list.
This functionality is available today for all Todoist users, and it’s simple to set up. Simply access your Todoist account (from the web portal) and go to Settings > Integrations, and then follow the steps to integrate your Google Calendar account.

The device includes an on-unit machine learning chip that helps the Nest Hub learn your most common commands so it can build a quicker response — Google claims they do not retain your audio recordings and you can delete any recent activity by simply saying “Hey Google, delete everything I said last week.” Like other smart hubs on the market, Google’s Nest Hub is designed to be the center of your smart home by informing all your connected devices from one place so that you can lock doors, turn on the lights, and check your front door camera all with voice commands and automations.

Its launch aligning with Sleep Awareness Week, the Google Nest Hub’s most notable new feature is Sleep Sensing, also powered by Soli’s motion sensing technology.

The Nest Hub analyzes your movement and breathing throughout the night to track when you go to sleep, wake up and how long you stayed asleep for. Using the Nest Hub’s built-in microphones, ambient light sensors and temperature sensors, Sleep Sensing can also detect any disturbances to your sleep such as coughing and snoring, as well as light and temperature changes.
As you use this feature, the system begins to build a better understanding of your sleep patterns to give you personalized recommendations. On top of these personalized recommendations, Google has partnered with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) to provide users easy access to their sleep science intel. Sleep Sensing will be available as a free preview for users until sometime next year and can be disabled if you are not interested.
