You're right that Alexa does a lot of these features natively, but what we're trying to do is make each one better for users.
For example with reminders, we allow users to get notified of the reminders they set where ever they are via SMS. Or for news we give users the option of texting the full article to their phone.
Right now we're starting with simple productivity features, but going forward we want to make it easier for Alexa users to interact with other third party services without having to enable a whole bunch of different Skills.
IFTTT is a great service but a lot of Alexa users aren't familiar with it.

- MerryOscar 9y agoNo worries! Great to hear!! :) If there's anything else you'd like to see added just let me know at om@asklifebot.com
