Alexa Commands.
THE DEFINITIVE LIST OF ALEXA COMMANDS.
Alexa comes equipped with hundreds of commands that she understands right out of the box. Here is a list of some of the Alexa Commands in Canada. I used to say that this was the complete, definitive list, but with Alexa learning so much so fast, it is impossible to keep up. It would be like trying to write down every sentence a person learns as the they learn a new language – an impossible feat! Nevertheless, here is an extensive list to get you started! Enjoy!
