The world is highly fond of virtual people like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Are you too? Well, I guess the real people in the world are going more in a silent mode, and these virtual assistants are getting the best of benefits of talking to most of the people in the world.

However, while many people in the world still do not own an Echo device, I think there are people who also do not make absolute use of the Echo devices they contain. Amazon created a virtual world, so good, that you would not feel alone even when nobody but an Amazon Echo device is near you. Besides, it made use of the most amazing MediaTek processors so that you can get the best experience of talking to your virtual friends.

So here are some amazing tricks that you can carry out easily with Amazon Echo devices and get better benefits in your day-to-day life:

Alexa’s Meditation Guide:

Are you the one inclined towards spirituality and meditation? Your Echo device could offer you better assistance in the matter. One of the most amazing features of the device is Guided Meditations which talks you through a meditation session. While you are about to go to a meditative mode, you just need to switch it on and it would help you soothe your nerves.

In order to ask Alexa for the same, you just need to say, “Alexa, ask Guided Meditations to play meditation”, and there it goes.

Each meditation session is about 3 to 8 minutes long, and there are more than 60 such exercises to choose from. And you know exactly what to do if you do not like a piece of particular music. If you want to skip a given meditation exercise, just say “Alexa, play next” to move onto the next one.

It’s a perfect command for those who need a little help in finding those moments of peace in a busy world.

Alexa’s Gaming Mode:

If you are bored with Alexa reciting poetry, or your favorite songs, or your cooking recipes, you can turn Alexa’s gaming mode on and can play games as well. You can find new games to play by adding new Alexa Skills to your Alexa account, listed under “Games & Trivia.

And with this, Alexa can play games like Rock, Paper and scissors, etc. Yes, Alexa does not have hands and it cannot show any gestures, but it can use its voice to point either Rock, Paper, or Scissors that it intends showing up. And based on that, you can surely find a winner in the game.

Alexa’s Virtual Boyfriend:

If you ask Alexa out or ask her if you are the one, she would certainly disappoint you. When even humans are not accepting you, Alexa is still one in 5 or 6 people like her in the world. And that was a joke if you took it too seriously.

However, how about setting Alexa with a virtual world partner like Google Assistant or Apple’s Siri? What do you think Alexa would say in such a case. But let me make this a suspense for you. Next time you operate your Alexa device, just ask her what she thinks about dating Google Assistant. Or if she would like to be a girlfriend to Siri? Well, the response of Alexa would certainly amaze you.

These were some of the interesting tricks that I learned with MediaTek-powered Amazon Echo devices lately. Make sure you try them on and let me know your experiences till I bring more of these for you later.
