We're heavy Alexa users. Since we are a family, the #1 use case is of course farting noises, but other than that, we use it to: - Set ourselves reminders - Manage the family calendar (reading out of reminders, reading the calendar, scheduling and rescheduling events) - Manage the family todo list - Manage the shopping list - Read out weather information including rain, to help us decide on what to wear outside - Some of my kids can't read yet, for them it's easy to use Alexa to start their own favorite audiobooks - Games - Answering trivia and animal noises - Manage the temperature in all the rooms of our house

I also heavily use a routine that reads out the weather forecast, upcoming appointments and the latest news.



Our biggest use was orgasm sounds until it got shut down. :(


What kind of games do your kids play on Alexa?
