Amazon's Smart Speakers
In the world of virtual assistants there are two, Siri and Google Assistant, which due to their introduction in the device market with Android and iOS and iPadOS, they bring together practically all the uses that are given to the same.
But there is a virtual assistant that must also be taken into account. We are talking about Alexa, the assistant for Amazon This assistant is present in the form of an application for iPhone andiPad, but it is also present in the smart speakers of AmazonAnd, by the looks of it, Amazon wants Alexa to be fully compatible with iPhone and iPad
Amazon would achieve this through Alexa for Apps and Deep Links
This compatibility that it aspires to compete with and dethrone Siri from the iPhone and iPad is based on a function calledAlexa for Apps This feature, currently under development, allows Alexa users to access content and functionality in apps and web pages.
And the main idea to make Alexa more compatible with iOS is that the same one can do operations that does Siri Operations such as opening apps by voice commands, as well as websites and other types of functions, without the need to open the app and directly from one of the Amazon speakers
The Alexa app on the App Store
This is supposed to be achieved by using the so-called Deep Links These links allow direct access to certain contents automatically and this is what the function would take advantage of Alexa for Apps to open apps and perform more functions on devices with iOS and iPadOS
Of course, everything that gives users more possibilities is always welcome. Even more so considering that there are many iPhone and iPad users who have an Amazon smart speaker in their homes. What do you think?
