Alexa Answers program goes public, allowing anyone to answer Alexa questions
Amazon just threw open the doors to a formerly invite-only program that allows users to answer Alexa queries that the digital assistant doesn’t yet know.
The Alexa Answers program, which launched as a beta last year, lets Amazon customers pick questions for which Alexa is coming up empty, such as “What is the state snack of Texas?” (What is it indeed?)
Once you’ve picked a question, you can simply type up your answer and submit it.
The crowdsourced response could then pop up as a response to an Alexa question with an “according to an Amazon customer” disclaimer, as Fast Company reports.
