What are your favourite features of Alexa?
My favourite feature of Alexa is listening to music because of its ease of control and audio quality of my Echo smart speaker. Alexa reminders and music alarms keep me on track throughout the day. I have also started to enjoy cooking now as Alexa guides me to make my favourite meals, step by step.
Describe one of your favorite moments with Alexa
I have made it a habit to celebrate with Alexa. Every time there's a party or an achievement I just turn to Alexa and say “Alexa, play Punjabi Swag” and the playlists it chooses are all I need to add life to the party.
Would you recommend Alexa to a friend?
Absolutely, Alexa can be a key part of a person’s life in simplifying daily tasks and assisting with many day-to-day activities, from alarms to entertainment. It can assist with smart home controls ranging from switching ON the lights, TV, Geyser and so much more. It makes our lives so much easier.
Who do you think should use Alexa? How can Alexa make their Day special?
Alexa has something for everyone, be it kids or elders. I recommend using Alexa for music as it is extremely convenient, and it provides a wide range of music options. Be it rhymes for kids, games or educational content for youngsters, party mantras or devotional songs for the elderly, jokes, shaayari or even companionship in conversation, Alexa gives you access to it all. From my personal experience, it helps my mother a lot and I can vouch for it.
What would you like to say to Alexa on its anniversary?
I have created an entire song just to express my feelings for Alexa! Here goes…
