10. History
In November 2014, Amazon announced Alexa
alongside Echo. Alexa was inspired by the computer voice
and conversational system on board the starship Enterprise in science
fiction TV series and movies, beginning with Star Trek TOS and Star Trek
TNG. The name Alexa was chosen due to the fact that it has a hard
consonant with the X and therefore could be recognized with higher
precision. The name is also claimed to be reminiscent of the Library of
Alexandria. In June 2015, Amazon announced Alexa Fund, a program that
would invest in companies making voice control skills and technologies.
The US$100M in funds has invested in companies including Ecobee,
Orange Chef, Scout Alarm, Garageio, Toymail, MARA, and Mojio. In 2016
the Alexa Prize was announced to advance the technology.
