Amazon has its own smart Assistant called Alexa, which can perform a multitude of tasks ranging from playing music to controlling your home appliances. Even though the assistant is simply a set of instructions and lines of code, the AI and ML-based programming gives it an edge once the user gets creative while asking Alexa to perform tasks.
