Facebook on Monday unveiled the Portal and Portal+, directly challenging Amazon, Google and Apple in the fast-growing smart-speaker market with a unique approach that will emphasize video calling.To start a video call, users can say “Hey Portal, call …” followed by the name of a connection on Facebook’s Messenger service.

These calls include entertaining augmented-reality features that can outfit users with cat hats or turn their living rooms into animated night clubs.

Another feature is Smart Camera, which uses artificial intelligence and the devices’ cameras to perfectly frame users on video as they move around while on a call.

“Portal+ and Portal really live up to that idea of helping you feel closer and allowing you to spend more quality time with people, even if they live thousands of miles away from you,” said Dave Kaufman, marketing lead for Facebook’s Portal division.
