Echo Dot

Amazon's listening sphere

Echo Dot is Amazon's compact smart speaker, a smaller and cheaper version of the Amazon Echo.

Like its larger sibling, it responds to the wake word "Alexa" and can play music, answer questions, control smart home devices, and perform other voice-activated tasks: I asked the Echo Dot to set a timer.
