## SETUP AMAZON ALEXA USING ALEXA APP

Amazon Alexa Echo- the acclaimed [smart speaker](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/110970/what-is-a-smart-speaker) or in layman terms- is known as [virtual assistant](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/312064/how-to-check-if-your-virtual-assistant-is-working).

The heavyweights like [Google Assistant](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12751/google-assistant) and Apple’s Siri compete directly with Amazon’s Alexa which is known for its multitasking capabilities.

It can do various jobs like creating reminders, playing recorded audio, music playback, set alarms and react to voice commands.
