It seems like Google and Amazon have something in common. Both of them continue to evolve their AI digital assistance at a fast pace. The latest update to the Amazon Echo includes upgrades which can give you info about your car or even play games with Alexa. Check out the quote below detailing these new improvements.
"New This Week
You can now use Echo with even more connected devices. Introducing Automatic, the new Alexa third-party skill. It's easy to find out if you need gas or hear how far you've driven recently with the Automatic skill and the Automatic Car Adapter. To use this new skill simply set up the compatible hardware, enable the skill in the Alexa App, and just ask:
- "Alexa, ask Automatic if I need gas."
- "Alexa, ask Automatic how far I drove last week."
The holidays are here and what better way to spend time curled up indoors than a Game Night. Try your luck against Alexa, or play with friends and family. Just ask:
- "Alexa, rock, paper, or scissors?"
- "Alexa, flip a coin."
- "Alexa, pick a card."
Bingo
Enjoy a game of Bingo anytime you like! With the Bingo skill, Alexa will call the numbers for you. Just ask: "Alexa, open Bingo."
