Alexa is coming to wearables thanks to Amazon's new developer kit

When it comes to smart speakers, the Amazon Echo is still in the lead. Much of this success is due to the Echo's built-in voice-controlled intelligent virtual assistant, Alexa. Amazon has revealed that they're getting ready to bring Alexa outside of the Echo. Ahead of this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Amazon announced a new tool kit called the Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit that will allow developers "to bring Alexa to portable, on-the-go devices such as hearables, headphones, smart watches, fitness devices, and more." Alexa has made quite a name for itself in the health industry through the Echo, and the company has also been working on smart glasses powered by Alexa.
