[h=1]You can now buy Amazon’s always-listening AI box without an Invite[/h] June 23, 2015 Kishore Ganesh Leave a comment Edit
We are making huge strides in the field of Virtual Assistants, with capable ones like Siri and Google Now present right in our Smartphones. We can just ask a query casually, and it will get answered right away.
Amazon, however, thought that this was a bit limiting, and thought that the capabilities of a Virtual Assistant can only be realized with the help of an always-listening box, and Amazon did unveil it last year, calling it Amazon Echo.
Now, Amazon has announced that the Echo is available without an Invite, as opposed to before.These orders will start shipping from July 14th. You would have to fork over $180, however, which is higher than the price you had to pay before.
What do you think? Are you comfortable with having a connected always-listening device in your home?
