Amazon's Alexa Voice System, commonly known as Alexa, works with compatible devices, such as the Amazon Echo. On command, Alexa responds to voice commands and can perform a number of tasks, from playing music or relaying the news, to controlling smart home devices. Alexa is considered to be a "virtual assistant," similar to Siri, Google Now, or Cortana[1]


Functions

Alexa responds to a voice command via the speakers in an Alexa-compatible device, such as the Amazon Echo. The command is sent to the cloud, where Amazon's servers decipher the command and determine a response. [1]
