Techniques are described related to improved intercom-style communication using a plurality of computing devices distributed about an environment. In various implementations, voice input may be received, e.g., at a microphone of a first computing device of multiple computing devices, from a first user. The voice input may be analyzed and, based on the analyzing, it may be determined that the first user intends to convey a message to a second user. A location of the second user relative to the multiple computing devices may be determined, so that, based on the location of the second user, a second computing device may be selected from the multiple computing devices that is capable of providing audio or visual output that is perceptible to the second user. The second computing device may then be operated to provide audio or visual output that conveys the message to the second user.
