At the 6th edition of the Canaltech Award, Amazon won as the most desired brand when it comes to voice assistants and smart home products
A amazon was the big winner in the “Best Voice Assistant” and “Smart Home Products” categories of the 6th Canaltech Award, in both cases beating other giants in the sector such as Google (Google Assistant and Google Nest) and Apple (Siri and Apple HomePod). The virtual assistant has gained a lot of importance in recent years, driven by the diffusion of appliances and products compatible with the concept of the smart home.
Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by artificial intelligence created by Amazon. Launched in 2014, it works integrated with brand speakers (Echo), digital TV converters (Fire), smart devices and as a standalone application.
In Brazil, Alexa arrived in 2019, shortly after the launch of Amazon Prime streaming, in a strategy by the e-commerce giant to expand its services to more locations. The service can understand commands in Portuguese and provide consistent responses to requests made by users.
Skills and versatility
With the victory of the popular vote, Alexa repeats the milestone for the fourth consecutive year and consolidates itself as a darling of the Brazilian market. Its signature capabilities, ranging from setting alarms and reporting traffic to searching the internet and even controlling your connected home, seem to have won over the crowd.
One of the biggest benefits of the service is its broad compatibility with different products, as well as the freedom to build skills, which allows for the automation of tasks without the need for in-depth technical knowledge. You can schedule routines to run for when you get home from work or as soon as you get up, such as turning on the lights, turning on the air conditioning in your room, or welcoming your visitors.
