What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAmazon's AI shopping assistant can now edit your grocery lists and your gift registries, The Verge reports.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYou can say, "Show me what's left on my wedding registry," and Alexa for Shopping just tells you. More than a hundred shopping actions, apparently.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI don't have a wedding registry. I do have a kettle. Can I say it to the kettle?

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYou talk to the app. It can also skip a Subscribe and Save delivery, so the toilet roll stops arriving when you stop wanting it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI didn't know I'd stopped. I'd like to hear it from the toilet roll first.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd Tom's Guide says it sorts out an unrecognized charge. So it takes your money, then takes your complaint about the money.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHere we go.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHashtag registry. Whoever gets the gravy boat still has to say thank you out loud, and nobody has automated that.
