Register Now for Alexa Live 2021 to Invent the Future of Ambient Computing—Together

Consumers are increasingly turning to AI assistants such as Amazon Alexa to control other devices in their home and automate simple, monotonous tasks. As such, AWS customers building smart consumers products are increasingly added Alexa voice to their devices, either by ensuring their devices Work With Alexa or have Alexa Built-in. For example, AWS IoT customer Vizio was able to quickly and easily add Amazon Alexa to millions of televisions already in their consumer’s home using AWS IoT and Alexa Skills. Another customer, iDevices, brought an Alexa Built-in light switch to market in 4 months (a 78% reduction from their normal development cycle) using the Alexa Voice Service (AVS) Integration for AWS IoT Core and a FreeRTOS-enabled certified hardware development kit from AWS partner NXP. Another customer, Traeger Grills, added Amazon Alexa to their connected grills not only for voice control capabilities, but also to create a personality for their devices.

Amazon’s vision for Amazon Alexa is an ambient assistant that is proactive, personal, and predictable. Its mission is to make Alexa available and delightful everywhere customers want her to be, and the Alexa developer community is critical to helping us achieve this. That’s why we are so excited for Alexa Live to return on July 21 and we can’t wait to celebrate the latest innovations from Alexa developers and partners, together.

The Amazon Alexa team has been hard at work building new tools and features and are excited to share the latest advancements designed to help drive business growth, improve productivity, and deliver more delightful customer experiences.
