I have an Echo at home, another in my office, and a Dot by my bed. Alexa is in charge of waking me up on time, the house lights and my morning news, plays music to keep me motivated at work, reminds me to go to the gym or provides a workout for me in my office when I can’t get away, she helps me remember to buy milk and finds recipes when I can’t think of something creative to do for dinner. She sets the mood for a movie night and eases me to sleep with sounds of crickets and soft rain. She keeps track of my doctor appointments and meetings and even tells me a joke when I’m stressed and could use a laugh.
