so what I'm interacting with the Amazon echo I tend to personify Alexa well the Lynx robot from Oobleck is taking that to a whole new level because Alexa kind of looks like a person now this cute little guy dances does yoga can reach out and give you a hug oh yeah it has the Alexa assistant built-in so you can control your smart home play music and do all the other things that Alexa can do on top of the Alexa capabilities this thing can actually read your emails to you you can dictate emails to it and it has a security monitor built in so it's a companion that also doubles as a security device that also doubles as a personal assistant and smart home controller it is really cool in concept but when I first heard about the Lynx I thought it was gonna make Alexa a lot more mobile but Lynx is a lot better at moving side-to-side and doing those dance positions than moving forward and back if you need it to go anywhere it's gonna take a while a lynx rep also said they don't have all of Alexa's third-party partnerships lined up yet so I'm not actually sure how many of Alexa's integrations you're going to be able to use with links the lynx is due out this summer and it's gonna be expensive somewhere between eight hundred and a thousand dollars probably so even though Lynx is cute and can guide you through yoga poses that's a lot to spend on a mobile Alexa device that's not all that moment
