Yes, she probably knows more about me than my wife
But boy has she helped me in a myriad of ways
Here are 10 ways I cannot live without
- Alexa now answers all my questions — her AI abilities have significantly improved.
- I set Alexa for 15-minute work sprints — which I used to write this article. Screw the Pomodoro effect. I simply tell my little robot to set the timer and alarm.
- I play Jeopardy on Alexa every night. It’s such a fun game just like the TV show. I end up asking her a ton of follow-up questions afterward about history, word meaning, Shakespeare, countries, et. al.
- I can easily get answers without staring at my phone or jumping on the computer — weather forecast, current temperature, distance to two towns for cool road trip information
- Sports, Sports, Sports
- Reminders I rarely miss — I can set them from bed so I don’t have to write things down
- Podcasts and recorded books — always be learning
- Financial market information. Defining financial terms
10. My Gratitude list — it is 189 items long and so great to listen to
Does anyone else have good stories about Alexa?
Thanks to all my legions of loyal fellow writers
