Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to enable voice assistant device communication. An example apparatus includes an environment detector to receive a voice communication request associated with a target household member, the voice communication request to occur at an originating voice assistant device, a device map engine to query a location database to determine a match between one of a plurality of destination voice assistant devices and the target household member, a member discovery engine to transmit a location request to candidate ones of the plurality of destination voice assistant devices when the location database does not include a matching one of the plurality of destination voice assistant devices, and identify a voice signature of the target household member in response to the location request, the voice signature detected at one of the candidate ones of the plurality of destination voice assistant devices, and a broadcast engine to enable a communication session between the one of the candidate ones of the plurality of destination voice assistant devices and the originating voice assistant device.
