What Are Virtual Assistants and How Can You Use Them?

As society makes advancements in technology, virtual assistants have become increasingly popular devices that are being used in households all over the world. You may be wondering exactly what they are and how you can benefit from them. Don’t worry, this article will explain a few things you need to know about virtual assistants.

What are Virtual Assistants?

Virtual assistants are small devices you can install in your home that are designed to help you in a variety of different ways. For example, they can answer questions that you have, remind you of important events, set an alarm for you, or even turn on appliances or other devices inside of your home.

How Do You Use Them?

These devices are usually activated by voice. For example, saying a keyword like, “Hey Alexa” will turn the device on and then you can ask it to complete a task. So, you could say, “Is it going to rain today?” and the device will tell you the weather forecast for the day. You can also set a virtual assistant up so it can access certain appliances in your home like turning the lights on or changing the temperature on your AC unit.
