Alexa Answers arrives in the UK

Amazon users in the UK can now try and answer questions that Alexa doesn't know. The US tech company has announced the general availability of Alexa Answers in the UK – a crowd-sourced method of making its Alexa digital assistant more intelligent. The online hub offers users the chance to answer questions that Amazon's smart assistant Alexa didn't know the answer to. Users just need to sign in to their Amazon account at the Alexa Answers webpage and start browsing unanswered questions that they think they can answer. The UK launch will help Alexa get smart on topics specific to the UK, including the Spice Girls and the two-pound coin, Amazon hopes. In return for their knowledge, Alexa Answers users can earn points and get onto leaderboards on the hub.
