The Voice for Voice
Episode 14 - Facebook's smart speaker, Alexa fund's new investments, Angel Investor Skill, Local business head-to-head
Season 1, Ep. 14
•
Hello! We're back with episode 14! Loads of exciting Voice-related news. Facebook's new smart speaker 'portal' - will it work out? We think probably not. Alexa fund has been busy investing in pre-fab homes (I wonder why...), voice-first learning platform Bamboo, and patient-carer Skill Aiva.
Our Skill of the Week goes to Stoked Skills (congrats chaps) for their Angel Investor Skill - a fun game that lets you play out your Dragon's Den fantasy. FINALLY, another head-to-head with Google Home and Amazon Alexa. We'll be testing local business knowledge.
