The world of virtual assistants is quite limited, by this we mean that it is difficult for a competitor to prevail over a foreign operating system, no matter how good it may be. In this way, Alexa is present in the products sold by Amazon, Google Assistant predominates in Android and how could it be otherwise, Siri commands in iOS (we do not forget Cortana, but the presence of Windows 10 Mobile is almost testimonial) . Nevertheless, Amazon has just prepared a master play for us to get used to using Alexa, has integrated its virtual assistant into the application with which we make our purchases.
It was today when Amazon announced this novelty, Alexa will be directly in its renewed mobile application, which will arrive in a few days. In this way, Alexa will answer us questions about our orders, play music and much more.
I honestly cannot see this integration favorably, since this will certainly increase the consumption of resources and batteryNot to mention the possibility that the size of the application will increase exponentially, it would be logical if they include a virtual assistant in an application that is designed to make purchases easily.
This way, iOS users can forget about having to purchase compatible products to use Alexa. The reality is that it was an option that had been considered for quite some time. On the other hand, Amazon may change the app's color from its classic orange-yellow, to a turquoise green more in line with Alexa. It remains to be seen, but without a doubt we will test Alexa on Amazon as soon as the update is available, so you can know all its capabilities.
And you, what do you think of this integration? Is this an alternative to Siri? Tell us what you think about Alexa and the fact that it integrates with Amazon.
