Amazon Alexa New Updates and New Features for June 5 2018

Amazon Alexa has all kinds of new updates in 2018, and this week is no different. There are new Amazon Alexa features, new Amazon Echo integrated products, and even business updates related to the Amazon Alexa voice assistant.

The biggest news lately related to Amazon Alexa was that an Amazon Echo actually recorded a conversation, sent it to another user, and did none of this with the knowledge of its primary user. This was reported to Amazon and they investigated. Through their investigation, it was determined that the word Alexa was heard, and a send conversation command was heard as well. In any case, it's time to check your privacy settings and I'll be creating a video to help you do just that.

Amazon Echo users spend 29% more on Amazon's marketplace. They'll spend more on pet food, baking, cooking, grooming, and health and beauty products.

Amazon Alexa has some incredible processing power behind it. They're now using a CanFulfillIntentRequest with developers to let them recommend skills based on what you're doing or asking about. That's going to take some incredible processing power when we think about the existing 30k skills on the marketplace today, and what I have to assume will be a million before we're all done.

Amazon is now paying Alexa skill developers in the UK and Germany if they produce kid-friendly skills. This is on top of what developers can already make through subscriptions or other payment terms. It's a developers perk, essentially.

Amazon Alexa can schedule meetings, as well as move meetings. This is so important because it gets us close to deleting meetings as well. Alexa can schedule meetings with your contacts.

The Motiv ring is getting deeper Alexa integration, allowing you to ask all about your current active minute data, calories, sleep, and steps. There will also be better and deeper capability for questions to Alexa about your fitness and health.

Hisense has a $389 USD air conditioner that now has Alexa integration. That means you can use your Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, or Echo Plus to schedule a portable air conditioner. That's fantastic.

Finally, the LG ThinQ TVs now have Alexa compatibility. You can change the channel, adjust the volume, and do a lot more with Alexa and an LG ThinQ TV. These latest TVs have been getting great reviews for their smart home capabilities, and they now have integration with the top two smart home voice assistants.
