The “back-to-school” season has officially kicked off across the nation, and to support families in their preparation for the new academic year, customers can use Alexa skills to organize their day-to-day activities, access information promptly and easily manage their schedules with just a voice command.
With smart home voice AI technologies such as Alexa, families can set their own shopping lists for school supplies, set a number of reminders for various activities, and make their day-to-day routines and activities during and after school easier and simpler.
Parents can plan for this season by creating a shopping list on the Alexa app and include reminders and never forget to buy anything again.
Parents in the Kingdom can ask Alexa to set reminders for certain activities such as buying uniforms for their schoolchildren, buying stationery items, schoolbags, and any other necessary requirements. They can set routines to adapt quicker to a simpler lifestyle. These routines include setting up reminders and alarms to wake up and sleep on time, in addition to reminders on lunch timings, dinner timings and prayer timings.
Additional routines can be set by Alexa including timing for school pick-up/drop-off, extra-curricular activities, doctor appointments and other entertainment activities during the new academic year. Users can change morning alarm tunes and choose from a wide range of different options.
