Amazon's Alexa Is a Fast Learner

Amazon’s Echo devices featuring the company’s smart voice assistant Alexa have proven very popular since their (limited) release in November 2014. Consumers appear to like the idea of having a voice assistant in their homes, be it to control smart home devices, manage shopping lists or crack a joke every once in a while.

And while Alexa’s capabilities are still limited, “she” appears to be a fast learner. Last week, Amazon announced that developers have built more than 15,000 skills to date, more than tripling Alexa’s capabilities since November 2016.
