What is Alexa and how do her commands work?
Alexa is the name of the voice assistant of the renowned Amazon company. It works with artificial intelligence and via a speaker can receive orders to perform actions.
The commands are structured by sentences that Alexa can interpret and therefore can interact with the user. In turn, the commands can activate the so-called Skills, which are functions created by third parties to work in synergy with the voice assistant.
