I’m bad at interior design. So bad, in fact, that I affectionately refer to my apartment as ‘the clown house’ due to its total lack of a cohesive color scheme. It’s definitely due for a refresh — so I turned to Alexa+ to help me create something more tasteful.
A few weeks ago, Amazon rolled out Alexa+ in the UK. The AI-powered virtual assistant made its debut in the US last year, but the company had taken its time localizing Alexa+ for British users. Not only does it recognize and use British slang (which is sometimes unintentionally funny considering its rather posh accent), it also links to services and sites that people use in the UK —and since it's designed to be an 'ambient assistant' for your home, it seemed like a natural choice for decorating advice.
