What exactly is Alexa? How exactly does it work? Here's everything you need to know about how Alexa works, where it comes from, and how it can help you.
Amazon Alexa is an interactive voice assistant that can check the weather, launch your favorite playlist, and everything in between. Alexa can be found on most Amazon products, including the new Echo Pop, the iconic Echo Dot, and even a variety of smart thermostats, soundbars, lamps, and more. Aside from taking basic commands from you, Alexa can also dish out commands to the rest of your connected smart home — making it easy to streamline your life.
Related But really, what exactly is Alexa? When you ask Alexa a question, what you’re doing is communicating with a cloud-based service. Amazon has designed the Alexa Voice Service to mimic real conversations, but you’re actually using intuitive voice commands to get this service to perform specific tasks. “Alexa” is simply the “wake word” that alerts the service to start listening to your voice. For most devices, you just have to say the wake word to get a response.
Why Alexa? Apple has Siri. Google Home has the Google Assistant, which comes alive when you say “OK, Google.” Amazon has Alexa. But why? According to David Limp, the Amazon executive who oversaw the development of the service, the name “Alexa” was chosen for a few reasons. First, the name “Alexa” harks back to the Library of Alexandria, which attempted to collect all of the world’s knowledge. Amazon is attempting to do the same thing.
Where can I use Alexa? In order to use Alexa, you’ll need a device that integrates voice technology. This typically means an Amazon device, such as an Echo, Echo Dot, or Echo Show, but this cloud-based personal voice assistant has also been integrated into the Echo Auto, and with some third-party systems. Devices like the Fire TV are also compatible with Alexa, as are some third-party devices such as the Sonos One. Someone even programmed Alexa to work with a Big Mouth Billy Bass.

Go read this report about how Amazon allegedly keeps injured employees working.This report from Wired features interviews with Amazon employees and the first aid staff in the company’s in-warehouse medical centers, who claim Amazon discourages injured workers from visiting outside doctors. Instead, hurt employees are reportedly treated in Amazon’s medical centers and then reassigned to a less intensive position. Former and current medical staff at Amazon tell Wired that “they faced direct pressure from managers to keep the number of workers they sent to doctors low” and that they needed approval from a manager if a worker requested to see one.
