The slim, modern cylinder has good voice recognition capabilities.

In other words, it blends in well with your decor and sounds better. Once awaken, Alexa is always listening in.

Amazing Things You Can Do With Alexa

Below is the list of things you can do with Alexa:

1.Control your smart home devices:

Without having to lift your phone or open an app, you can control all Alexa-compatible devices at your home. You can walk into a dark room and ask for lights, or walk into a quiet room and ask for music. It’s that simple! It makes accessing your smart home devices more interesting and convenient. You can control all your smart thermostats (Nest) and bulbs including Phillips Hue with the Amazon Echo. Alexa also works well with smart security cameras, garage doors, locks, sprinklers, and switches.

2. Play your music your own way:

Alexa allows you to play music from services such as Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Pandora, and so on. The quality of sound it produces is very good. It’s particularly useful if you’re an Audible audiobook service subscriber. This is because even when you cook, relax, or work around the house, Amazon Echo can play the narration for you.

3. Get answers:

Besides music, you can use Alexa to search for things online, help with kids homework, create a to-do list or make quick cooking conversions. Alexa can read your recipes.

4. Perform basic daily routines:

Using either grouping or routines, you can string activities to be activated by a single command. Routines are tagged activities you can create by combining a number of smart devices like lights with other tasks such as playing your morning news briefing. You can schedule your routine to activate automatically at a certain time.

5. Get daily updates:

With Alexa, you can get weather updates, play audio news shows, look up local businesses, order an Uber to the airport and complete just about any other basic tasks.

6. Messaging:

Android users can use Alexa to send a text message as long as it is not a group text message. It can also help you to read out your text messages. If you have multiple Echo speakers throughout your home, you can initiate walkie-talkie–style chats between them with a voice command. So, you can transform the entire family of Echo speakers into the home intercom system.

7. Make outgoing calls:

You can use supported Echo devices and the Alexa app to place outbound calls to most phone numbers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico for free. This does not include emergency numbers like 911.

8. Shopping assistant:

It helps you to do voice-controlled shopping. Voice shopping is available to Amazon Prime members only. You can only use voice shopping to buy Prime-eligible products. Note that you’ll not be able to order products such as clothing, shoes, watches, or jewelry by voice. It can also help you to view your to-do and shopping lists.

What is Alexa Skills?

Alexa skill is a simple program you can add to your Echo to enable a new ability. It’s like an app. It has more than 24,000 skills in the skill menu of the Alexa app. Every day a new skill is created. Since the release of Alexa Skill Kit to the public by Amazon, anyone with basic programming knowledge can create skills and add them to Alexa. As soon as you add a skill to your Alexa account, it will work with all the Echo devices in your home. You don’t have to add the skill to each device one by one. To manage Alexa’s skills and connected devices, you can interact with the Echo app.
