At the re:Invent conference, thetwo companies announced two technology initiatives to advance the Smart Home ecosystem and extend natural language capabilities to consumers everywhere.

The first is enabling Alexa Skills to remotely control and coordinate device actions with an Intel-based Smart Home Hub.

The second is an Intel-based smart speaker reference design with Amazon Alexa. It is intended to help hardware manufacturers accelerate their development of voice-enabled devices with the Intel platform and Alexa Voice Services.

The reference design will be available to developers and manufacturers in the first quarter of 2017.

“Intel is on a mission to help deliver highly-responsive, near-autonomous conversational AI within the home.” said Gregory Bryant, corporate vice president and GM at Intel.

For Amazon, the global chip maker’s help will accelerate the growth of Alexa ecosystem.
