Amazon Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon, and used in the Amazon Echo smart speaker series. It is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, sports, and other real-time information, such as news. Alexa can also control several smart devices using itself as a home automation system. Users can extend the Alexa capabilities by installing so called "skills," which bring additional functionalities developed by third-party vendors. Currently, communication with Alexa is available in English, German, French and Japanese.
