From improving sleep for millions to customizing a Disney resort experience - there’s a team for that. You know the products. You likely even own one or two (or ten). From Kindle to Alexa to the new Halo Rise, Amazon’s impressive slate of devices is even more vast and innovative than you realize. This fall, Amazon’s Devices & Services announced an array of new products, as well as exciting updates to existing ones. The tech giant has carefully curated all of these releases under a new concept, called “Ambient Intelligence” - technology that works (quietly) in the background to intuitively meet the needs of customers and enable them to live their lives to the fullest. Hundreds of people worked collaboratively for years to make these enhancements, and we caught up with a few to talk shop about this new direction.
