If you’ve not heard of the Echo Flex, it’s a handy gadget that offers full Amazon Alexa voice control functionality.

It plugs directly into your mains and sits on the socket, so it doesn’t take up much space.

The Echo Flex is one of the smallest and cheapest ways to get Alexa.

It has a 3.5mm audio jack so you can connect it to a speaker.

Or you can use the small built-in speaker on the device.

It’s also got built-in charging ports so you can power up your phonethrough it – or run a smart home accessory from it.

Buying multiple can even let you create an intercom system around the home.

Just like with a regular Amazon Echo speaker, all you need to do is say the wake word (Alexa), and she’ll start listening to your speech.

Ask a question and she’ll use Amazon’s computing heft to work out an answer for you.

She can play music or radio, make phone calls, and even read your Kindle books or audiobooks out loud.

Better still, she can connect to third-party apps and services too.

So you can use the official Domino’s skill to place pizza orders just with your voice.

Because she’s powered by artificial intelligence, Alexa is constantly getting smarter.

Alexa will also get more used to your voice, and better understand what you want her to do over time.
