Listening to the Decoder episode with Panos Panay, I’m almost convinced that what Amazon is trying with Alexa+ will work. Everyone’s expectations are so low with voice assistants. If they actually pull it off, it will be impressive.

I had to talk myself out of dropping $150 for an echo show after listening to this. Had me convinced. Will definitely be watching early reviews very closely.

The hard questions about data mining, privacy, etc., were of course not asked. This was a softball interview designed for marketing purposes. A long puff piece.
