Jan. 8, 2018

Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa is well on its way to being everywhere.

At CES, manufacturers announced Alexa integration insmartwatches,AR glasses,microwaves,bathroomsand much more. Furthermore, as part of its expansion,AmazonandMicrosoftalso announced the collaboration of Cortana and Alexa, that brought about new smart products such asMicrosoft’s ThermostatandXiaomi’s Yeelight Speaker.

That being said, the collaboration also promised the integration of Alexa on Windows 10 PCs as well. While the assistant partnership failed to see the light in the way we expected to see,Amazon is finally bringing about a dedicated Alexa app for Windows 10that allows users to make use of the voice assistant.

Many OEMs such as HP, Acer, and Asus are bringing forth their computer systems that are compatible with Amazon Alexa, with other manufacturers like Lenovo soon to follow.

Beebom’s Take

While Cortana in itself is a decent voice assistant, Amazon Alexa is a much more powerful and capable AI service. Along with aplethora of useful commands, Amazon Alexa also supportsover 25,000 skillsthat add to the overall productivity. You can use Alexa to get weather information, get directions, as well as control all your smart home gadgets that are compatible with Amazon’s voice assistant. In addition you can order products as well with great ease, and control consumption of media and news,
