If you’re someone who has an Amazon Echo, then you probably already know that Alexa is pretty much the hub of your life. Whether you’re using it to stream music or ask it to set your alarm, there’s no doubt that Alexa is a true lifesaver. But did you know that there are some Alexa commands that you may not have discovered yet? Keep reading to find out what some of the best Alexa commands are that you didn’t know about.

1. “Alexa, ask Uber to request a ride”

Without a doubt, one of the most popular Alexa commands is to ask for a ride with Uber. All you have to do is set up your account in the Alexa app and say, “Alexa, ask Uber to request a ride.” Alexa will then ask you for your location, where you need to go, and which type of Uber you want to use.

2. “Alexa, play sleepy time sounds”

If you’re having trouble falling asleep at night, then you may want to try this Alexa command. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, play sleepy time sounds,” and it will start playing a variety of different sounds that are designed to help you relax and fall asleep.

3. “Alexa, ask Domino’s to place my Easy Order”

If you’re in the mood for some Domino’s pizza, then you can use this Alexa command to place your order without even picking up the phone. Just say, “Alexa, ask Domino’s to place my Easy Order,” and it will automatically place your order with your preferred toppings and delivery address.

4. “Alexa, ask Fitbit how I’m doing today”

For those who have a Fitbit, this Alexa command is a game-changer. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, ask Fitbit how I’m doing today,” and it will tell you how many steps you’ve taken, how many calories you’ve burned, and how many hours you’ve slept.

5. “Alexa, what’s my commute like?”

If you use Alexa for work, then this command can help you plan your day accordingly. Simply say, “Alexa, what’s my commute like?” and it will give you an estimated time for your commute based on traffic and other factors.

6. “Alexa, what are the hours for (insert store here)?”

If you need to find out the hours of your favorite store, then you can use this Alexa command to get the answer quickly. Just say, “Alexa, what are the hours for (insert store here)?” and it will tell you the store’s opening and closing times.

7. “Alexa, tell me a joke”

Finally, for those who are in need of a good laugh, this Alexa command is perfect. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, tell me a joke,” and it will deliver a cheesy one-liner that’s sure to make you smile.

In conclusion, Alexa truly is a wonder device that can help you with your daily tasks, from ordering pizza to getting the weather forecast. Try out some of these Alexa commands the next time you use your device to fully experience everything it can do.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
