The Amazon Alexa has become a well-known digital assistant for the house. Responding to voice commands, numerous households pass their nights issuing instructions to Alexa and waiting for her response. A voice instructed assistant is much easier to use in scheduling and time management.
With the popularity of the device in homes, Amazon diversified its use by launching Alexa for business. They figured that the assistance and efficiency it offers at home can also be transferred to the office.
They, therefore, got into agreements with office equipment manufacturers to have Alexa built into office equipment. Over time, it has increasingly been accepted and is among the highest used digital assistants in offices now.
What tasks can you assign to Alexa in your office?
Calendar and Appointments
Setting up your calendar is now much easier. Alexa ensures that you do not even have to access your calendar.
To have Alexa carry out this task for you, all you need to do is ensure that you have connected it to your preferred calendar app that is compatible with your Amazon device.
Once this is done, whenever you need to schedule an appointment, instruct Alexa and it will be done. This allows you to stay focused on your work by not having to go to your calendar to set the appointment.
Set Reminders
Once you've set your schedule, it is going to ensure that you do not forget the set meetings and will supply you with regular reminders according to your set preference.
Enhance Productivity
To enhance your productivity, the device comes with a built-in Pomodoro timer. This app enables you to have set times to work and take breaks. The Pomodoro timer is based on the 80/20 theory of productivity.
With the app, you can set the timer for 50 minutes of productivity and 10 minutes of rest.
This will ensure that you have a good period to concentrate on your work and a short break to rejuvenate before you go back to work.
