Alexa is a virtual voice activated assistant developed by Amazon, which is incorporated into the Amazon Echo range of smart speakers.
It allows users to ask it questions, set to do lists, alarms, providing weather forecasts, stream music, give traffic updates and the latest news broadcasts.
It can also control several smart devices in the home if they have Wi-fi connected gadgets like lights or power switches.
An Amazon spokesman has been approached for comment by MailOnline today.
