Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Ordering Ubers with an Amazon Echo”.
Hey guys, it’s a Northridge, I’m here with Amazon Zeca, which keeps getting smarter and smarter. So it’s CES. We saw it at a bunch of home automation, capabilities earlier in the week and added Domino’s. Yesterday, it added Spotify, and today it’s adding what I think is my favorite feature. You can now ask it for an uber, so Alexa asked uber for a ride.
There is an uber X about three minutes away. Would you like me to order it? No thanks. Okay, goodbye yeah, so that was super simple right. All you got to do is open up the Alexa app on your phone, go into the skills section. Add the uber skill link it to your account and make sure you set your address and then Alexa can immediately get you a ride.
So now we can ask your for Idol. So yes this time and then we can also ask where it is. How long has to intake to get here and cancel again if we want to so Alexa asked uber for a ride? There is an uber X about two minutes away.
Would you like me to order it? Yes, please requesting your ride. This may take a few seconds. Oh there we go, Edwin is now arriving in a Honda Accord, so I can just open up the uber app here there yeah. So you can see right here on my phone everyone’s on the way and then I can say things like Alexa a scoober.
How far away my ride is your ride request was accepted. Your driver should be there in about one minute. Your mover app has the details great and then obviously I can do the thing that no driver wants you to do, but we’re going to do it anyway. Alexa, open uber and cancel I’ve canceled your guys, and there we go so that is uber on the Amazon echo. It’S pretty cool.
You can also ask for things like a new Rex, your SUV. Basically, any product uber sells, you can ask for directly from the echo just using your voice. You don’t even have to use a button anymore.
