Developed to help with everyday tasks, play music and control lights, appliances, among other smart items, the virtual assistant Alexa It also has interesting commands — which you probably don’t know about yet.
Programmed with creative and funny responses, Amazon’s software can be found on Echo devices, in addition to the app, available for Android and iOS devices.
Check out Alexa’s most curious commands:
“Alexa, beatbox me”
If you’re tired of the traditional songs that Alexa plays from some platform, you have the option of asking the voice assistant to sing something original for you. The highlight is the ability to do beatboxing, known as a vocal percussion used in hip-hop.
“Alexa, fart”
Even without a specific function, the assistant’s programmers still allowed her to act in a “rude” way. In addition to flatulence, Alexa is also capable of burping.
“Alexa, roll the dice”
If you find that you are missing dice when starting a board game, don’t worry! The assistant also has a command to select a random number from one to six. If you need a dice with more sides, just specify the number. Example: “Alexa, roll a 12-sided die.”
“Alexa, follow the master…”
Just like a parrot, Alexa can repeat any phrase or word you say. When you activate the follow the leader game, simply say the sentence you want her to say in the sequence. Example: “Alexa, follow the leader, think carefully, think CNN”.
“Alexa, do an ASMR”
ASMR, a technique used to generate a pleasant sensation through sensory stimulation, has become very popular in recent years and is also present among Alexa’s commands. When activated, the assistant begins to hum the children’s song “Baby Shark”.
“Alexa, turn on…”
With this command, Alexa can act in different ways. The virtual assistant can reproduce the way children, teenagers, elderly people, mothers, miners, and even a car stereo speak. Example: “Alexa, activate mom mode.”
“Alexa, imitate…”
In addition to reproducing speech patterns, Alexa is also capable of imitating media personalities, such as Silvio Santos, Marcos Mion, Faustão, Galvão Bueno, Chapolin Colorado, Capitão Nascimento, among others.
“Alexa, speak whale”
With cinematic references, the voice assistant can also reproduce the language created by Dory in the film “Finding Nemo”. More than that, it also has commands in reference to “Avengers”, “Star Wars”, “Harry Potter”, among others.
“Alexa, and in this madness…”
Proving that she knows Brazilian hits well, Alexa even completes the lyrics to the song “Evidências”, by the duo Chitãozinho and Xororó.
“Alexa, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A”
In homage to the Konami code, a sequence of buttons used in video games, as soon as the command is activated, the assistant transforms into “Super Alexa” and starts a protocol to turn on its turbines.
