Question 1

Is Alexa better than Google?

Accepted Answer

The two devices have their own strengths. While Google is better at handling different types of queries, Alexa does a better job of doing day-to-day tasks such as checking weather forecasts, playing music, making calls, etc. The latter’s tens of thousands of skills also make it an appealing choice for homes with smart devices.

Question 2

How many people use Alexa?

Accepted Answer

Amazon has yet to reveal the official count of Alexa-enabled device owners. Nevertheless, reports show that over 100 million Alexa devices have been sold in 2018 alone; Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is the #1 best-seller Alexa speaker to date.

Question 3

Are Alexa and Echo the same thing?

Accepted Answer

Kind of. When you own an Echo speaker, which is a hands-free, smart device, you can “wake it up” and command it to play audio tracks by saying the word “Alexa.” It’s also worth taking note that there are other third-party systems that have adapted the Alexa technology. So, you can interact with this intelligent assistant even if you don’t have the Echo smart speakers.

Question 4

How many Alexa skills are there?

Accepted Answer

In 2019, the global count for Alexa skills has surpassed 100,000. However, not all countries have access to all of these skills. The US-based Alexa is, by far, the “most intelligent” with almost 66,000 skills by the end of Q3 2019.

Question 5

What is Alexa good for?

Accepted Answer

Some of the basic things you can do with Alexa are streaming music, ordering items from Amazon, and controlling your smart home gadgets, as revealed by our Alexa statistics. Additionally, the latest reports show that you can also use it to open certain apps on your smartphone such as the “7-Minute Workout” to start your workout routine or get recipes and food recommendations by using the “Best Recipes” skill.
