Alexa offers itself a new functionality and will allow to speak by interposed speakers. Like an intercom, it intends to simplify communication within a home. Amazon also announces the arrival of the Daily Music Pick, in partnership with artists like Bad Bunny.
Rather than hushing up and calling everyone at the table, Amazon Echo owners will be able to use the intercom feature. In a press release, the firm unveils the new functionality that allows a message to be broadcast simultaneously on all the speakers in the same house. To use it, just say “Alexa, connect all devices”. Then, it will be possible to send a question via the connected speakers and get an answer from all participants. For example, we can ask everyone to give an idea for the meal, without having to travel. To create a sticky note and distribute it to all speakers, simply say “Alexa, set a reminder for all devices”. The default configuration will be possible via the parameters of the enclosure. Finally, Amazon has teamed up with several artists to launch its daily playlist. To play the music selected by Bad Bunny, Pete Wentz or Kelsea Ballerini, it suffices to say “Alexa, play the Daily Music Pick” .
At the same time, Alexa announced a few days ago the launch of Alexa Blueprints in France. On the site, the firm details the process, available since 2018 in the United States. It will be a question here of personalizing your skills in a very simple way. For example, we can program mockery to play tricks on friends and family. Starting from existing models, users modify the skills before renaming it and sharing it with friends or the whole community. Alexa will also improvise as a mediator and will be able to avoid many family disputes. Artificial intelligence can choose among the inhabitants of the same house who must do household chores. Just enter the names of all participants in the draw.
