American technology major Amazon has announced that the company's popular digital assistant Alexa-power smart speakers and the display will offer the latest details and location information to the customers.
This new feature has been made widely available across select global regions.
To get started, users just need to ask — 'Alexa, where can I get a Covid vaccine?' or say, 'Alexa, which is nearest Covid vaccine centre?' to hear a list of locations close to the user.
Customers can follow up with the 'Alexa, call the first one,' or ' what's the phone number of the first one (vaccine centre)' to connect to a specific location directly and learn more about vaccine or appointment availability.
Also, users can also ask for 'nearest Covid-19 testing centre' as well.
Furthermore, Alexa is capable of answering questions about vaccine availability and eligibility requirements for more than 85 countries.
However, Amazon is yet to roll out a full-fledged service in India.
It can be noted that search engine giant, Google earlier in the month launched new services on its Maps and Search apps to offer location details of the nearby Covid-19 vaccination centres.
