How to have a continuous conversation with Amazon Alexa

Having a smart assistant in your home can be all sorts of useful. But when you need to set an alarm, add something to your shopping list, turn on your smart lights, and find out the weather, the process can get somewhat tedious when you have to use a wake word with every question. You can really start to feel like an evil stepsister. Thankfully, Amazon added the ability to hold a continuous conversation with your smart assistant, a feature called "Follow-Up Mode." And Google recently did the same with the Google Assistant's Continued Conversations.
