So on the news on live tv someone said "Alexa order me a dollhouse" this phrase alone had MANY alexa users get dollhouses ordered directly to their house.

New marketing scheme, in your commercials, say "Alexa, order me a [your product]" instant profit

[Refticus]

what's the point of elexa?
is going onto the amazon website, finding the item and clicking too hard for people?
do they just want to spend money without thinking or something??

... i don't think you've used an alexa.

they mostly play music, but can also run podcasts, search for info, and play user-made games you install to them through their app (like Jeopardy)

*breaks into someone's house*
"alexa order me 500 horse carrots"

alexa also has a lot of custom apps you can "install" (technically activate) to do various things, like look up movie scores and work with those hue LED lights and some other special things
