Amazon’s Alexa has swept the nation, becoming one of the hottest and most affordable tech products to date. The virtual assistant technology is largely based on a Polish speech synthesizer named Ivona, bought by Amazon in 2013. Since then, the system has been used on a plethora of different speakers from the Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Studio and Amazon tap speakers, all developed by Amazon. The product has since been featured in a multitude of Super Bowl ads with stars like Cardi B and Michael B Jordan.
