Another development to Amazon's Alexa app is the addition of voice commands enabling users to upload skills to the digital personal assistant. Prior to this, users had to do so through the app, but this direct form of communication means that users can issue a command or request that Alexa will instantly respond to. Alexa has more than 1,400 third-party skills, an increase from 735 at the end of May this year, which has led to Amazon creating categories to organise them into a logical order. The new feature also allows for easier access to existing skills. The aim is for Alexa to be the first port of call whenever a user has a query.
