Alexa is on everyone's lips, and there is no one like Amazon to know how to sell their products, with the permission of Apple of course. And is that although the HomePod is a great product, Amazon has made a great price strategy to get its new speakers with the virtual assistant Alexa sell like hotcakes. And the truth is that Alexa works like a charm ... Now Amazon wants to go a little further, they just updated all devices with Alexa to activate routines and reminders based on geolocation. After the jump we give you all the details of this interesting novelty.
With this new support for geolocation, we can now ccreate routines and reminders that are activated depending on where we are. For example, we can say, "Alexa, remind me to feed my dogs when I get home", then we will receive a notice when according to our iPhone (thanks to the location) we get home. And not only that, as we have told you, this update has been released on all devices, including mobile applications, so it is also we would receive a notice even if we configure it when we get to a place where we do not have a speaker with Alexa but our iPhone does, "Alexa remind me to print the report when I get to work."
All the Routines are also updated with these new location settings, and with possibility of delayed activation of the following actions of each routine: when saying good morning the coffee maker is activated but until 20 minutes have passed the news skill is not activated. Email support has even been activated, which we can configure directly from the app itself so that later we can ask Alexa if we have any new emails. News that are beginning to be activated in the United States but that we will see very soon worldwide, so you know: always keep everything related to Alexa up to date to be the first to have all the news.
