Alexa is a service by Amazon that functions as an intelligent voice assistant. It is used in a wide range of devices such as Echo smart speakers, Fire TV streaming devices, and even in some cars and home appliances. The main idea behind Alexa is to provide a voice-controlled interface that allows users to interact with devices easily through voice commands.
It is worth noting that the Echo smart speakers are available in the WAW store
