Alexa Custom Assistant: Amazon will let others use Alexa’s intelligence
During the last years, Alexa has conquered millions of users around the world with a very efficient operation and about which we do not need to tell you much more. If you have used the Amazon Echo or any other device compatible with the assistant, you will already know what we mean. And it is that without disregarding the good work of Google Assistant and Siri improvements, communication with the Amazon proposal is for many more natural.
Now Amazon surprises with a movement of those that at first you would not have thought they could make. The company launches Alexa Cuxtom Assistant , a program through which it will allow any company interested in creating its own voice assistant to use its technology, the artificial intelligence that serves as the basis for Alexa.
Thanks to this, many companies will be able to save the high cost in time and money that implies creating a voice assistant from scratch. A task that is not easy or fast at all. And this is something that can be easily seen with Samsung‘s assistant, Bixby. Due to more financial muscle and development resources that the company has, its assistant has not managed to take off. Still they keep trying with its integration in various devices.
However, with the new Amazon program there will be many companies that are going to have it extremely easy and it seems that the first to benefit will be those dedicated to the automotive world . They will be able to create personalized voice experiences and thus improve the interaction of their users with their vehicles. Although they will not be the only ones, anyone can access this program.
In this way, for example, they will not only be able to establish the name and activation word, but also provide specific instructions to control elements such as lights or information about the status of the same through a simple voice command. And then, for other uses, it would be the Alexa base that would provide them with the rest of the actions already common in other devices such as the Echo Auto for example.
Alexa is unstoppable
Alexa has become an important leg for Amazon, the assistant is increasingly present and this proposal that allows licensing the use of its intelligence could be the definitive move to become the undisputed leader.
Because despite the fact that many might think that with so many new attendees what they do at Amazon has no complexity whatsoever, the company would be introducing its software there and benefiting from all the feedback that would come with more and more users making use of that technological base that feed Alexa.
So the jump in quality that Alexa can make if the adoption of this program is high will be incredible. So, if at the time you decided to bet on this voice assistant to control your home automation, the decision may have been the most successful.
