Amazon’s Alexa Stalled with Users as Interest Faded

Sofar I think Amazon has failed at developing Alexa as a platform. As an anecdote, my kids enjoyed playing trivia and a Zork-style games. The method of play though tends to dominate a space unlike them using an iPad for similar.

Seems like a logical/obvious result:

> The other hurdle is an even more basic challenge: People simply don’t find Alexa that useful.

> Amazon’s goal with Alexa was to pull users into a deeper relationship with the company’s services, allowing it to profit in various ways.

Maybe if the product put the users goals first it might be more popular.
