(Original title: Amazon has 5,000 people on Echo and Alexa, more than Fitbit and GoPro)

Netease Technology News September 28 news, according to CNBC reported that Amazon Alexa voice technology is being applied to a series of new hardware devices, including the upgraded smart speaker Echo, the box for receiving calls, even in the upcoming BMW In the car.

Amazon hardware chief Dave Limp revealed at the new Amazon conference that in order to develop all technologies, Amazon has quietly formed a team of more than 5,000 people dedicated to building the Echo and Alexa ecosystems. The number of people Amazon uses to develop the Alexa line of products has even exceeded the total of Fitbit and GoPro, the manufacturers of consumer devices. Fitbit employs only 1,700 people, and GoPro employs about 1,500 people.

Compared with last year, the total number of Amazon personnel developing Alexa also increased significantly. In May 2016, Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos said in an interview that “more than 1,000 people” are developing Alexa and Echo. Amazon currently has more than 382,000 employees worldwide, so the Alexa and Echo teams are only a small part of the entire company. However, the rapid growth of recruitment figures reflects Amazon’s willingness to invest in expanding the Alexa voice platform.

The number of people creating the Echo and Alexa ecosystems may continue to increase. Amazon’s employment website shows that there are still nearly 1,500 vacancies in Alexa’s and Echo’s related jobs. (small)
