Alexa is happy to help

Ask for sports scores, movie showtimes, restaurant hours, or information.

Alexa has skills
With tens of thousands of skills and counting, Alexa is always getting smarter. Skills are like apps and help you do more, such as play relaxing sounds or test your music knowledge. Just say, “Alexa, what are your top skills?”

Put your photos on (smart) display
You can use Amazon Photos or photos from Facebook to turn your home screen into a digital frame that showcases your favorite photos. And with the built-in camera, you can easily add to your photo album by saying, “Alexa, take a selfie.” Plus, Prime members get unlimited photo storage.
