Alexa smart personal assistant app
Amazon, the e-commerce giant, has announced the addition of a new feature to its Alexa smart assistant app.
The new feature added by the American company, allows Alexa to send an alert to the user when any item on the user’s list of future purchases is put up for sale.
Amazon said that Alexa, as of now, the Alexa application will alert the user to put the goods he wants to buy for sale up to 24 hours before the launch, and then the application will request the goods for the user’s account if he requests it.
The new feature will also work with items the user has signed as “saved for later” on the Amazon platform.
The new feature will be available to Amazon Prime paid customers in the United States through all new generations of Echo smart speakers.
The TechCrunch website, which specializes in technology issues, stated that the new feature can be activated on the “Alexa” application by accessing the “Amazon Shopping” menu from the alerts settings and selecting “Marketing recommendations.”
When the new feature is activated, the “Amazon Echo” circle will turn yellow when the required item is put up for sale. The user can also ask Alexa to alert him of any transaction when it is completed, and the user can also say “Alexa buy it for me”, if he wants to buy it.
