Having Google's Nest speakers and Amazon's Echo devices that are cheap has led to a big rise in the use of smart assistants over the years.

Keep your ALEXA VOICE history

When you interact with a smart speaker, it learns from that interaction and gets better over time at giving you better answers to your queries. They learn how you use your computer and store relevant information. As soon as you ask a question, the details of the question are stored on servers under your account. A lot of this data is used by Amazon to improve speech recognition and the accuracy of search results.
