Use your voice to ask for any song, artist, or genre from supported streaming services and play music across compatible Echo devices and connected speakers in your home. You can also listen to Audible, podcasts, radio stations, and more.
Make your life easier at home. Use your voice to set timers, add items to lists, and create calendar events and reminders. You can also check the news, weather, or traffic. Ask for sports scores, movie showtimes, restaurant hours, or information.
Alexa has more than 50,000 skills and counting. Skills are like apps and help you do more such as playing Jeopardy!, meditating with Headspace, and falling asleep to rain sounds. Create your own skills with Alexa Skill Blueprints. Just say “Alexa, help me get started with skills.”
