Amazon has something big to say about Alexa: Hardware manufacturers will be especially gratified to know that they can have Alexa built into their little products with low-powered chips and 1MB of RAM.
“With this reduction in production cost, customers can now cost-effectively build new categories of differentiated voice-enabled products such as light switches, thermostats, and small appliances. This allows consumers to talk directly to Alexa in new parts of their home, office, or hotel rooms for a truly ambient experience,” said the company.
