Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1225

Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing, it is Sunday and so let’s answer a question from the community.

This one is all about when Alexa is behaving kind of strangely, you know, when she does something and you’re like, why did she just do that?

Well, the question is exactly that, why does Alexa sometimes say things when presumably I haven’t said anything or I haven’t heard anything.

Well, you can actually find this out and I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but it’s actually very simple. You can simply just say to Alexa, why did you do that?

You can try those types of questions and it will help to explain why Alexa reacted in any particular way

Why Did Alexa Do That?

So, “Alexa, why did you do that?” you can also say things like, “Alexa What just happened?” or “Alexa, did you hear that?” “Alexa, what did you do?” or “Alexa, what’s up with that?”

You can try those types of questions and it will help to explain why Alexa reacted in any particular way, alright?

So I hope that’s helpful to figure out sometimes why she seems to be having a mind of her own and I hope that’s helpful to many of you.

So hope you having a great Sunday and I will talk to you tomorrow, take care.
