shopping lists, timers and listening to music, cnn, msnbc (through tunein radio) and others. I know, now Amazon knows everything about my fantastic adventure filled life but as Tralfamadorian philosophy says "so it goes".
Some questions I have asked Alexa:

What is the meaning of life? Get a quote from Elanor Roosevelt

Are vampires real? Yes

Are you Skynet? No, don't worry

Covid claustrophobia makes interactions with Alexa even weirder...

Using two on my desk set up in stereo speaker mode is cool if you like normal levels of music and sound...

Just my observations... I forgot, I also control some "smart" light bulbs and power outlets with Alexa...
