Dialog
Jeff Bezos
Alexa, what's the weather like today?
Tech Journalist
So...is the wake word always 'Alexa' or can we customize it?
Jeff Bezos
Good question - right now it's just Alexa, but think of this as day one. We're just getting started.
Tech Journalist
Let me guess - that means future subscription features?
Jeff Bezos
Alexa, play my favorite song. [pause] Now here's the magic - she knows my music preferences, but she'll learn yours too.
