    Cool Apps: Amazon Echo

    Did you ever want a secretary that could answer questions all day? While Amazon’s Echo product can’t fetch coffee, it can perform all sorts of digital tasks that come up in daily life at work and at home.

    The Echo Dot looks like a small speaker that sits on your desk or table or in your car. It’s enabled with voice recognition and can be integrated with hundreds of apps. Its voice, named Alexa, can answer questions, spend money, play games, control components of your house, play music, and act as an alarm clock. And that’s just for starters.

    Alexa listens to your voice and responds. A few of the questions that Alexa is capable of answering correctly include:

    “Alexa, how old is Matt Damon?”

    “Alexa, where is the closest sushi restaurant?”

    “Alexa, could you order a stapler from Amazon?”

    “Alexa, open Amex.”

    “Alexa, set a timer for 20 minutes.”

    “Alexa, order a pizza.”

    “Alexa, play music by Lorde.”

    “Alexa, what’s on my calendar?”

    With additional integrations, Echo can control room temperature and turn on lights. Echo’s range is one room in the house, and the biggest Echo fans have more than one in their house and one for the car.

    Echo can be used for business or personal needs. Where it comes in for business is to give you insight in how your business ranks in voice search results. Ask Echo about your business by asking it to find a business similar to yours. For example, if you run a hair salon, ask Echo to find a hair salon. Does it mention yours or your competitor?

    Echo can save you time, amuse your employees, and help you gain marketing insights into your business.
