AMAZON Echo has been gifted a brand new feature that is set to challenge Google Home as both
continue to fight for smart speaker dominance.
Amazon has announced its Echo line of products will receive an incredible new feature that
will allow Alexa to give more precise details about local businesses.
The tech giant has partnered with Yext, a company specialising in business data that
is distilled from the likes of Google and Facebook.
This will allow users access to precise phone numbers, addresses and opening hours of businesses
around them.
Howard Lerman, the founder and CEO of the digital knowledge specialist, insisted the
partnership will allow Alexa to provide more "authoritative" answers to users.
Yext attempts to bring users the most precise answers possible by partnering with businesses
directly to ensure information is correct.
This means, in theory, if a business is closing early on a bank holiday it will notify Yext
who would then work with Amazon to ensure hours are updated when a user asks their Echo.
The update is currently available in the UK, US and Australia among others but will both
companies plan to radically expand the roll out in the future.
Prior to the new partnership the Amazon Echo would pull data from Yelp, a review forum,
that would identify similar information that may not have been as precise.
This allowed users to ask what the most popular Chinese restaurant was near them for instance
and get an answer from Alexa.
The update provides a radical challenge to Google Home that also offers similar functionality.
The Silicon Valley giant's speaker is able to obtain information from its vast Google
Maps and Search data pool.
Over the years Google has got much better about updating the app information that is
subject to change such as business opening hours.
On instances Google is uncertain on whether business hours will be affected on a bank
holiday for instance it will alert users by saying they may be subject to change.
