The interface is excellent though, with everything controllable via a single finger. Naturally the presentation is light years better too, although you’re still just looking at a largely blank 2D space filled with seemingly random objects. There’s a bit more context this time round, with the eponymous Alex creating the contraptions to perform various chores and amuse himself around the house. Legally speaking there’s no connection at all between Amazing Alex and The Incredible Machine, but they’re clearly both exactly the same idea. Think the board game Mouse Trap, but where you have to work out where the pieces go and there’s no set solution. Your only means of doing this though was to arrange a selection of ordinary household items – from basketballs to toasters – until they formed some amusingly complex Heath Robinson style device. A single screen puzzle game, the goal was generally something along the lines of kicking a ball into a box or turning on a fan.

If you search my username on the amazonecho community on red it I have a couple of brief demo videos showing the aforementioned digital assistant crossover setup in action, with "how to" links provided for anyone who would like this functionality for their own use.The Incredible Machine was originally released for the PC back in 1993 and managed to earn a string of sequels and spin-offs despite its visual simplicity and complete lack of violence. :'( ) There's also a dumb video of Alexa and Google Assistant "fighting" with one another (programmed via their "Routines") - it's dumb, but it makes me lol every time. (I tried to post a couple of < 1 minute demo videos showing all of this in action but I'm not allowed to do so. Siri's parents are really overbearing however and she's not allowed to hang.
There are several, newer, informative article on here discussing the latest details on the Alexa / Cortana collaboration.

You can also install Google Assistant / Cortana on your Amazon Echo devices. Lastly, to the posters above who said they preferred Google Assistant and want that on their PC, that's easily doable, though in a somewhat limited but still pretty useful way.

exe just fine, while my newer and more powerful ASUS desktop with Windows 10 Education and the same current Windows 10 build / updates installed won't run it at all :( The machine complains about issues with the dot NET framework and crashes on first-launch.
#AMAZING ALEX FOR PC PRO#
My Dell tablet with Windows 10 Education Pro installed Alexa for PC via the. exe no longer be distributed /installed (but I'm sure in reality it's more like they have partnerships with several manufacturers and they want you to buy these new models specifically created with Alexa on board).
Amazon supposedly was aware of this and has stated this is why they weren't ready to release the program and have requested the.
exe file that was leaked / shared around, resulting in compatibility issues that prevent many PCs from being able to properly install the software. It seems there were some minor coding errors in the Alexa for PC. Overall, I'm very happy with how it has turned out! Alexa is pretty responsive - more so I'd say than the Alexa that comes natively built into my latest model Amazon Fire HD 8 and 10 tablets.Īnyway, there was/is a roadblock that I've encountered, and it seems it is a known problem that others have experienced as well (see comment above from Milind Goel). Both work really well - I am pleased :) You can set the wake word to anything you want, not just the default "Alexa / Computer / Echo / Amazon." Now I'm adding-on / adding back Spotify voice control as well, and then I think I'll be happy using this as a regular Alexa interface. Just wanted to say, I wrote a couple of small, add-on scripts that run in tandem with Alexa for PC and which add back in "wake word" functionality (I played with two methods to make this happen: one using AutoHotkey, and one using VoiceAttack and batch scripts).
