Alexa is a voice-controlled virtual assistant developed by Amazon. It was first introduced in 2014 and has since expanded to work with a variety of products. Alexa works by responding to voice commands and can control various smart devices like lights, switches, thermostats, and others. Alexa can also answer questions, play music, read the news, set alarms and timers, make phone calls or send messages. The ability to use Alexa in South Africa is limited because of the lack of a speech recognition technology that could understand the different accents in the country.
