A microwave and seven other devices will integrate Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant
Up to eight electronic devices will be launched by Amazon with the Alexa voice assistant, among which a microwave stands out.
Voice assistants are quite limited and uninteresting elements that only serve to show off and functions that do not require interaction with other elements, such as house lights. Despite everything Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant is highly valued in the United States, being one of the most popular on the market. Available in loudspeakers and company applications, it is the most used in the USA, although Google's Assistant is taking the place and that is why Amazon wants to add new products with Alexa.
Alexa will be present in eight new products that Amazon will launch soon.
Not much data has been given in this regard, but the information suggests that Alexa is working on eight electronic devices that will include the voice assistant natively. What the company wants is for its voice assistant to gain popularity and allow it to interact with the rest of the devices.

The normal thing would be to launch them around the Christmas period, since every year the sale of technology as a gift for the Christmas period grows more and more. Among the most curious is a microwave, although there will also be a receiver, an amplifier, a subwoofer and a device for the car.
It is clear that the connected home is important for Amazon and they are betting heavily on this type of home that is not quite popular in Spain. Alexa will act as a link between all of them, although we do not know to what extent they will interact or what the functionalities of all these will be.
