Alexa, you might know, is the female persona inhabiting the Echo, a Wi-Fi-enabled black cylinder about the size of a Pringles can, which you prime to answer your questions or perform services by invoking her name. âAlexa â¦ whatâs the weather,â etc. etc. I was given a $179 Echo last year as a gift, and a $49 Echo Dot â a squashed down version endowed with a lousier speaker but equipped with Bluetooth capability â as another gift for Fatherâs Day.
(Alexa, for those unaware, is the device's Siri/Cortana/what-have-youalso the word you use to activate its personal assistant, which you can always change to Amazon instead if you'd rather yell out a brand than a name.). Amazon's update also allows you to use the Echo to mess around with others around your house. Simply yell Alexa, Simon says at your device to get Echo to repeat whatever it is you tell it.
