Alexa's Innovation Journey
Since its launch in 2015, Amazon Echo has enjoyed exponential uptake in the US - registering 30m installed devices by 2018. Understandably, the more skills and features the Echo offers, the more popular it becomes, not just in the US, but around the world. Behind the simple, front-end user experience, however, the level of back-end innovation has been equally exponential. Glenn Gore, Global Chief Solution Architect for AWS, meets Majoj Sindhwani, Vice President of Alexa Speech at Amazon, to take a tour behind the scenes at Alexa Lab in this piece, to learn about the Alexa journey up till now, and get a sneak peek of what's to come.
