Wake Word Restrictions

List of Product Restrictions Coming Soon

Amazon does not allow wake word options besides "Alexa" on any "Alexa" Built-in products which are made by other companies and use Alexa Voice Services. These restrictions also apply to some of Amazon's own products using their AI.  


Users MUST use "Alexa." Can you imagine the scenarios? This is not only unrealistic but also unethical. 

 
There is currently 700+ "Alexa" Built-In products. These products can function on their own without going through an Echo product first. 

Amazon restricts users to the wake word "Alexa" only on 700+ products. Users MUST use "Alexa."

We need an update to the Echo Auto ASAP!! I need to be able to change wake word. I have a daughter named Alexis and every time I talk to her I get sassed by my kid and my Echo Auto.
