It was named this because the <a href="/wiki/Amazon_Kindle" title="Amazon Kindle">Kindle</a> was Project A and the <a href="/wiki/Fire_Phone" title="Fire Phone">Fire Phone</a> was Project B. The Amazon Echo was an offshoot of Project C. Project C is unknown, even though the work on it has stopped. The Amazon Echo was originally supposed to be called the Amazon Flash. The wake word, the word that makes the device responsive, for the Echo used to be "Amazon". Both of these attributes were disliked by <a href="/wiki/Amazon_Lab126" title="Amazon Lab126">Lab126</a>, the division of Amazon that conducts research and development and creates computer hardware. Lab126 believed that "Amazon" is too much of a commonly used word, and the device would react when it was not intended to. <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Bezos" title="Jeff Bezos">Jeff Bezos</a>, the CEO of Amazon, ended up being influenced by Lab126 to change the name of the device to the Amazon Echo and the wake word to "Alexa".<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Amazon Echo was originally pitched as only a smart speaker, it was not originally intended to be a smart home hub, as it is now, until after it was launched. As <a href="/wiki/Amazon_Alexa" title="Amazon Alexa">Alexa</a>, the artificial intelligence (A.I.) that powers the Amazon Echo, improved, the device became more of a controlling center for smart home appliances. Dave Isbitski, the chief developer evangelist for the Echo and Alexa, received calls from smart home manufacturers to discuss connecting their devices, after the release of the Amazon Echo. But smart home devices had a problem: people were not buying smart home devices because they often required an extra app in order to be used, which was not much better than just using the device manually.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Amazon Echo (1st Generation) was initially released in 2014 alongside the voice of the product, Alexa.

This device is an <a href="/wiki/Hockey_puck" title="Hockey puck">ice hockey puck</a> sized version of the original Amazon Echo released in 2014, and it has the same capabilities. This product was designed to be used in smaller rooms such as bedrooms due to its limited speaker capabilities (size) or to be paired with an external speaker. In November 2016 the second generation of the Echo Dot was released for a lower price with improved voice recognition and new colors. </p><p>The second generation of the Amazon Echo was released in October 2017. This update offered better voice recognition and a fabric covering exterior. Subsequently, other variants of the Amazon Echo have been released. </p><p>In May 2017 Amazon released the now-discontinued <b>Amazon Tap</b>, a portable, slightly smaller version of the Amazon Echo. Although the two products are similar the Tap is battery powered, portable, and requires the touch of a button in order to enable voice commands. </p><p>In April 2017 the <b>Amazon Echo Look</b> was released to invitees only, as an Amazon Echo with a built in camera. It was designed as a speaker, that is also handy with artificial intelligence that has smart algorithms to help users pick out outfits. It was released to the general public in August 2018. The Look was phased out in 2020. </p><p>In June 2018 the <b>Amazon Echo Show</b> was released to the public as a device with a 7-inch screen used for streaming media, making video calls and the use of Alexa.
