Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean. /https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F794901%2F897012ef-193a-423f-817d-94b56dd0a6e7.jpg)
"Alexa, can I get a toothbrush?"
At the mention of Amazon's digital assistant, the light ring on the white Echo Plus sitting on the end table lights up, then blinks for a second after the question is asked. Ordinarily, if you made that query to the Echo in your home, Alexa would respond by simply adding a toothbrush to your shopping list.
But I'm not in my home, and this isn't your ordinary Alexa. I'm sitting in a suite on the 17th floor of the Brooklyn Marriott, and the person bugging Alexa about his dental-hygiene needs is Daniel Rausch, vice president of smart home for Amazon.
