Amazon Echo latest Updates

By -




We cover the latest breaking updates to the Amazon Echo.

"New This Week
You can now find out when the next episode of your favorite TV show airs with the new Alexa third-party skill, TV Shows. Ask for any TV show and Alexa will respond with the date, time, and network the show airs on. Simply enable the skill in the Alexa App, then just ask:
  • "Alexa, ask TV Shows what time does The Walking Dead start?"
  • "Alexa, ask TV Shows what time is Family Guy on?"
More to Try
Alexa on the all-new Amazon Fire TV just got even better. In addition to providing music, news, weather, and sports, you can now also ask Alexa for info on local businesses and restaurants, and control connected home devices, using the Fire TV Voice Remote—just hold the microphone button and ask:
  • "Find me a nearby Chinese restaurant."
  • "Dim the lights."
Looking for another new skill to try? Simply open the Alexa App, select "Skills" from the menu, and tap "Enable" for the skills you want to use.

Ask My Buddy
Ask My Buddy is a skill that can immediately alert friends and family—by SMS, email, or even telephone if you need help. To get started, enable the skill, create your Ask My Buddy account, then just ask: "Alexa, ask My Buddy to alert everyone."

You say, create your buddy account and then tell Alexa, "ask my buddy to alert everyone." How does one create the buddy account?
