Alexa, Amazon's assistant, continues to evolve significantly with new functions. It has been revealed that the company's assistant is going to start storing memories for its users. You will also have more natural conversations with people. In this way, thanks to these memories, the assistant will be able to remember things like birthday dates.
This has been explained by the director of applied science at Alexa Machine Learning, Ruhi Sarikaya. These are improvements that will allow the Amazon assistant to give more useful functions to consumers. Since you will be able to remember very specific dates. Ideal when planning the agenda.
Although at the moment there is still a while for Alexa to be able to have this memory. But it is something that is going to be introduced progressively in the wizard. Also, many see it as an opportunity for the assistant record and remember user shopping habits on Amazon. So you can remember the products and brands you buy.
So functions like these would make the user simply have to say a command to Alexa to make the purchase. Since the wizard will know which specific products the user has bought or shop regularly. This report will be available soon in the United States.
A new function called Context Carryover that will give the possibility to interact more with the assistant. So that you can have more information in a more fluid way, without having to constantly name the name of the assistant.
Also, new features will be added to Alexa, that will recommend a specific product as a solution to some problems. This feature appears to be part of the assistant's advertising strategy. But it will still take a while to arrive. So we will have to be attentive to these new functions in the Amazon assistant.
