So with most companies employing an open floor plan isn't there a tremendous amount of audio overlap. Are all the devices linked and Alexa now smart enough to differentiate between multiple users?

What kind of work is really practical when done via voice vs secure authenticated terminal access? I talk to my co-workers to exchange ideas and come up with new ones. Talking to my computer or my office space seems awkward and aurally intrusive since people are trying to work and not hear you asking Alexa to, I don't know, make you a coffee?

I suppose it's not for offices where people are sitting next to keyboards anyway.

* A conference room (no remote controls in sight): "Alexa, turn on the projector".

* A hotel room (from a coach): "Alexa, turn the air conditioning off."

* A workshop (everybody's hands are busy and greasy): "Alexa, mark order 2348 completed, bill ten dollars extra for urgency."

This makes certain sense.

I have Alexa at my desk right now in an open plan (I developed a demo skill for a POC), and it does disturb my coworkers.

It also isn't smart enough to differentiate between multiple users.
