If you have an Alexa at home, you know how convenient it is with setting alarms, getting the temperature or just playing music. The only way it might be improved is if it could follow you around. It looks like Amazon thought of that too with its newest high-tech appliance, the Amazon Astro.
Described as an “Alexa on wheels,” Astro is a mobile home assistant that can perform a variety of different tasks. Using voice activation, Astro will happily take on any request just by saying its name and giving a command. Whether you want to stream shows and music or video chat with family and friends, you can access everything from Astro’s 10-inch touchscreen.
But this easy-to-use assistant is much more than a streaming device. Thanks to its built-in navigation sensors, Astro can maneuver around the house and follow you anywhere. Its periscope camera allows you to tune into any live feed from the kitchen counter to your front door. It’s even more fun when the kids have friends over, with configured settings allowing Astro to sing, play — even snap a selfie.
While Astro is currently available by invite only, this high-tech wonder will be rolling out for its wide release very soon. Reserve yours today and welcome your family’s newest mechanical member home.
