Connect with your favorite people

Privacy Control
Multiple privacy layers are onboard. For example, your voice is streamed to the cloud only after your device detects the wake word (“Alexa”). You can also turn the microphone and camera off with the press of a button, and the built-in shutter lets you physically cover the camera.

Use the ambient sunrise lighting feature to help you get your day started right. You can also choose from several clock face designs, select your favorite photo to be the home screen, and create morning routines to start your day.
Alexa has Skills
With more than 80,000 skills and counting, Alexa is always getting smarter. Skills are like apps and help you do more like play Jeopardy! or learn something new with wikiHow. Just say, “Alexa, show me skills.”

Connectivity
Some of us have been around long enough to remember watching The Jetsons - that funky family that lives in a utopian future in outer space. We all envied the things they had, like 2-day work weeks, jetpacks and cars that looked like flying saucers. Not to mention things like instant meals appearing at the touch of a button, or a robot housekeeper named Rosie.
It's already 2024, and we still don't have things like 2-day work weeks (here's looking at you, boss) or flying cars, but we do have things like this deal on a Home Mini Smart Assistant Speaker from Google. Close enough, right?
