Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #845
Hey, hey, it’s Teri here with your flash briefing for Friday.
And here’s a fun one, as you may know, I’ve been talking a lot about routines over the last little while, and I did a whole podcast episode about that recently.
And if you want to learn all about routines, just go to AlexainCanada.ca/Routines.
And I also asked you to share some of your routines, and I just thought of a really fun routine that you can set up.
It’s very simple and you can use it to play jokes on people.
And it’s simply this when you set up a routine for Alexa to give you a particular response to something that you say you can literally decide, you can customize what her response is for any statement that you want.
So this is pretty cool, so I’ll just give you an example, I was thinking like, how can I have fun with this in my family?
So I created a routine where I asked Alexa, who’s your favorite person in the house?
So the way I did that is I went into routines, I created a new routine and my trigger was when I say, and I type that in who is your favorite person in the house?
It’s a way that you can set up literally a customized response.
And then the action that Alexa takes when I say that is she will respond with a customized statement and I typed in Coda, the dog, of course.
And so now I can play this little joke on my family, if you will and I can go in front of them, I can say, “Hey Alexa, who is your favorite person in the house?” and she will say the dog Coda, of course.
So I thought that was kind of a fun thing to do, I mean, you probably can’t use it more than once.
But it’s a fun little joke or if there’s something that you want to have Alexa say on a particular occasion, it’s a way that you can set up literally a customized response, anything that you want her to say to anything that you say, and I think that’s a lot of fun.
So try that out, I’d love to hear your ideas how will you use this if you will, I think it’s fun.
So if you want to let me know, then please let me know probably the best way is on Twitter at DrTeriFisher, okay?
Have fun with that and hope you’re having a great Friday, talk to you tomorrow.
