    Score8.6 out of 10
    		N/AAlexa for Business was a service that enabled organizations and employees to use Alexa to get more work done. With Alexa for Business, employees can use Alexa as their intelligent assistant to be more productive in meeting rooms, at their desks, and with Alexa devices. Amazon has pivoted away from the service, and it is not part of their product lineup any longer.

    Virtual assistants at work are still new features and have a lot to improve. 
    The more features we have, the more we want new features. 
    In small environments we have "noise" between virtual assistants, making use inappropriate. 
    But in more distributed environments it is very good.
    We still have a lot to learn (both, us and our Alexas).

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Could have a feature for group chats.
    • Alexa has some problems hearing nearby voices.
    • Website suggestions are irrelevant sometimes (should have user evaluation functionality for the answer, improving accuracy).

    We looked at two other alternatives: Google Nest and Apple. But Alexa already has popular devices that many people on the team already had in their homes. And it would be easier to integrate into the professional environment. The cost of Amazon products is also much lower, which makes the product more competitive.
