Amazon wants owners of devices with the Alexa voice assistant inside to fly the flag of consumerism and buy like there's no tomorrow. That's at least what can be deduced from a new feature called "Customers Ask Alexa" that will allow brands to provide answers to everyday questions such as "How can I remove pet hair from the carpet?" or "How do I get rid of the smell of stains on the floor?"
Before Customers Ask Alexa list of conduit cn cell phone numbers came on the scene, Alexa responded to such questions by searching the web for generic answers, but in the future Amazon's voice assistant will be able to respond to such questions with ads.
The responses that brands provide to consumers through “Customers Ask Alexa” are not, however, sponsored in nature . Brands do not have to pay to access this functionality and simply need to be registered in Amazon Brand Registry to record their responses.
“Customers Ask Alexa” will be available in the Amazon search bar in late 2022 and on Echo devices in mid-2023.
Aware that this new feature could be somewhat intrusive for consumers, Amazon assures that all responses registered by brands will be subject to moderation tools and quality tests.
