Alexa will now tell you when items in your Amazon cart or wish list go on sale
Apr 3, 2022
Amazon Alexa, also known simply as Alexa, is a virtual assistant technology largely based on a Polish speech synthesiser named Ivona, bought by Amazon in 2013. It was first used in the Amazon Echo smart speaker and the Echo Dot, Echo Studio and Amazon Tap speakers developed by Amazon Lab126. It is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, sports, and other real-time information.

Amazon's Alexa will start telling some users when items they've had an eye on are about to be on sale. Consumers can then ask Alexa to remind them about deals when they're live or ask the smart device to order items on their behalf.
The company announced on 31st March 2022 that Alexa will notify Prime customers up to 24 hours in advance of upcoming sales on items in their Amazon wish list and shopping cart, or items that were marked "saved for later" on the platform. The feature will work with fourth-generation Echo smart speakers and newer.
For example, if a customer is looking at a new TV and it's been sitting in a wish list, Alexa will give the consumer a heads-up that it will be on sale soon.
The Amazon Echo ring will turn yellow when an item goes on sale, so a user knows to ask Alexa to read out their notifications. Consumers can then ask Alexa to remind them about deals when they're live or ask the smart device to order items on their behalf.
The feature is meant to help customers save time and prepare for big sales, like Prime Day. It also benefits Amazon, which uses Echo devices to get people to buy more products on the site.
Deal recommendations need to be enabled to use the feature, which can be turned off or on by visiting the Alexa app and clicking "more," "notifications," "Amazon shopping" then "shopping recommendations."
