Alexa Built-in PC Messaging Playbook
We envision a world where Alexa is as fundamental to personal computing as browsing the internet, authoring a document or consuming media. Alexa on Windows 10 PCs allows customers to get more done with just their voice and turns the PC in their home into a smart hub for all their connected devices. Using a data driven approach, we know leaning into Show Mode, productivity, entertainment, smart home and access to Alexa on the go is best for marketing materials.
With Alexa on a PC, its easy to talk to Alexa at home, in your hotel room or in a coffee shop as long as you have access to wifi. Use the content below when highlighting on the go benefits of Alexa on Windows 10. Include an utterance and screen response whenever possible. Note some smart home commands do not have a visual response.
