1.  
Through
a Food Network agreement, Alexa will now be able to assist users in the
preparation of meals. Customers will be able to use their Echo Show devices to
view recipes and take cooking lessons. This will include requests such as
“Alexa, show Bobby Flay cooking lessons,” “Alexa, how many chicken
thighs should I use?” and “Alexa, save that recipe.”

2.     Alexa Guard, which listens
for window breaches and alarms, is growing in popularity. The consumer may now
employ more sophisticated routines, such as “Alexa, I’m heading to
work.” This not only activates Alexa Guard but also other orders, such as
shutting out the lights.

3.     Furthermore, Alexa Guard
will begin monitoring not only broken glass and alarms but also human
activity while you are away. That means the Echo should be able to distinguish
between your cat padding about the flat and a sneaky burglar.

4.     Alexa Communications and
Free Time Communications for Kids. Communication will allow youngsters to
communicate with contacts that (Grand) parents have pre-approved. Free Time on
Echo Show will provide youngsters with access to games and other activities, in
addition to the aforementioned Communications for Kids.

5.     Alexa can keep your Pets
Entertained. With the recent times of Covid-19, working from home was seen as a
new Lifestyle change in our life. Our impromptu work calls and lack of personal
time lead pets to feel lonely. With the new advancements of AI in Alexa,
our pets can now be entertained and kept busy. 
By teaching some easy commands like the Barking of the Dog, or the
Meowing of the Cat, Alexa can play their favourite songs to keep them busy and
happy.

6.     Alexa can keep you Healthy.
Alexa can be a great companion in keeping you busy and being your new fitness
buddy.  With a wide range of activities
and exercises available on the web just by customizing your workout
schedule,  You can ask Alexa to play the latest workout songs Or have a live Yoga or Zumba session right in the comfort
of your own drawing room. 

Overall, Alexa is designed to be a versatile and user-friendly
virtual assistant that can help people with a wide range of tasks in their
daily lives.
