Amazon Echo has been updated with an arsenal of movie quotes

Developing an intelligent home speaker isn’t all serious, there’s plenty of fun to be had. That’s why the team behind the Amazon Echo has updated the device’s digital persona, Alexa, with the ability to quote some famous movie lines. This comes shortly before the Oscars ceremony later tonight. 

Amazon’s Echo team is having lots of fun with the ability to regularly update the intelligent, talking home speaker. Just in time for tonight’s Oscars ceremony, the device’s digital persona, Alexa, has been updated with more than enough famous movie lines to break the ice at an Academy Awards viewing party. The Echo team sent an email to users this weekend suggesting a series of movie quotes to say to the device. Echo user Dennis Hamilton tried them out for us, and here’s what Alexa said in response to each quote.
