NPR debuted a new way to listen to NPR at Alexa Live, Amazon's annual developer conference that focuses on the future of ambient intelligence, smart home, and voice AI.
Through Alexa Routines NPR listeners can better integrate NPR into their daily habits.
"We built these experiences because we know our listeners love getting the news in the morning as they prepare for the day," said Kaivon Jones, NPR's lead developer on the project.
If you're an Alexa user, here three routines you can try today (make sure you have the NPR skill enabled first):
Wake up with NPR
After dismissing your morning alarm, you'll hear the date and the weather, followed by news from NPR. Try this routine.
Start my day with NPR
When you say "Alexa, start my day," you'll hear the weather, followed by the news from NPR. Try this routine.
NPR on Schedule
Plays the news from NPR at whatever time you choose. Try this routine.
The best part about these routines? You can customize any of these routines to fit your needs in the Alexa app or build your own! Here's how.
If you own a Google Assistant device, you can also build similar routines Assistant app featuring your favorite NPR podcast or your local NPR station stream.
