We discuss the first fast food Voice-order voice service launched by KFC. It's the start of instant craving voice fulfillment: "Hey smart speaker, send me friedchicken!" "..Pizza" or better: "...Chocolate". Next, we discuss the pros and cons of the ~50 dollars Alexa microwave by Amazon. Project Alias is last on the table. That's the speaker "cap" that ensures privacy and if needed a new wake name (Maarten wants "Wilma").

Guest

Our guest is Ine Stultjens, she is Manager Marketing Communication at the Dutch mattress company Koninklijke Auping bv. She tells how the Auping Bedtime story voice service came about. It's different from many other Dutch Voice services because it is experiential instead of functional. Ine also shares her 4 tips for her manager peers who, like her last year, will start their first voice project.

The show is concluded with the live review of the Albert Heijn Voice service. We liked it. But listen to the show to find what in particular so you may actuallyuse it in your own work.
