Amazon designed a new voice assistant like Alexa, but with more Disney characters and content.
Amazon and Disney declared a custom-made voice assistant, Hey Disney, accessible on Echo devices installed at Walt Disney Hotels.
Amazon designed it with the model and skills of Alexa. Hey Disney is eventually used for solving customer service inquiries, and it helps visitors of Disney World find answers to park-specific questions.Â
Disney says; this new edition will give a magical experience of Alexa.
According to the details provided by Amazon and Disney, the visitors of Disney Land Hotel can access the Hey Disney version of Alexa along with their room package.
And for others to include this version in their own Alexa, they will have to pay more, and the price is not shared yet.
Features of Hey Disney
Hey, Disney will offer a unique voice and includes 1000+ interactions to entertain users. It also delivers a diverse experience for Disney fans, including jokes, interactive trivia, greetings from favourite Disney characters and access to “soundscapes,” which are the audio environments inspired by Disney films.Â
Through this new feature, users can hear from their favourite Disney characters such as Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, etc. In the meantime, “Disney Magical Companion” will direct the whole experience.
This companion is custom developed by Disney for their users, and it will be a male voice; that is, Disney approached a real actor for the voice purpose. But the companion voice is not revealed yet.
