Alexa is not the Ironman’s Jarvis, yet its intended functionality is same- Voice Activated Computing powered by Artificial Intelligence.
Amazon has announced at Europe’s CES that there are now over 50000 unique Alexa Skills globally.People are spending an awful amount of time on Alexa ever since Amazon’s Echo, a smart speaker working as a virtual assistant leveraging Alexa skill development, was awarded as 2015’s most impressive technology by CNET. Since then, Alexa has not shown any sign of slowing down.
Now the question arises that is it possible that Alexa can do everything? As of now, Alexa cannot do everything but the list of doing things is growing rapidly. As far as compatibility is concerned, Amazon has favoured an open approach to the software that powers her to make it compatible with different hardwares.
The functionality from an end user point of view, for Alexa enabled smart speakers is simple- Ask a question, get an answer. Give a command, get results.
Unlike mobile virtual assistants like Siri, Amazon’s Artificial Intelligence powered Smart Speakers (Echo and Echo Dot) are ideal for Smart Home Automation applications. Smart home automation is an IoT based solution that is invented to serve multiple benefits like centralised security system, energy savings, transforming homes to live enhanced lives and to enhance the living experience.
Alexa skills development and integration is set to be the icing on the cake for the Smart Home concept. Be it control of security locks on doors and gates, appliances, windows, lighting, surveillance cameras or/and HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning).
Humans of today want everything to be on their platter instantly- be it ordering food, booking an appointment or live feeds or music from the internet. And Alexa does all of these precisely, given the skills developed.
With over 3500 brands that are Alexa-compatible now, Alexa has native compatibility for Philips Hue and Lift smart bulbs, Belkin WeMo smart switches, connected thermostats like Emeron Sensi and connected home platforms like Wink, Insteon and SmartThings. The only thing that is needed is to get the skills developed and pair the Echo or Echo Dot speakers powered to smart gadgets.
