Alexa is the ground-breaking voice service from Amazon, that is re-inventing the way humans interact with technology, using our voice, the simplest and most natural form of communication. The Alexa Smart Home team is focused on making Alexa the voice-activated user interface for the home. Alexa is evolving into an intelligent, indispensable companion that automates daily routines, simplifies interaction with appliances and electronics, and alerts when something unusual is detected.

About the team
Our team, Amazon Dash Replenishment, focuses on inventing devices and services that make customers lives simpler by making shopping more convenient within the Alexa Smart Home. The services we build enable connected devices to order physical goods from Amazon when supplies are running low. We do this by checking product levels in connected devices (think printer toner or laundry soap), and automatically reorder more—before our customers even knows that they are running low. Our customers get the same low prices, great selection, and convenient delivery found on Amazon.com.
