GET STARTED WITH SAMUEL – Samuel L. Jackson is here to add extra personality to your Alexa experience. Just ask and Samuel will set a timer, tell you a story, and more.
KEEP IT CLEAN, OR DON'T – Choose whether you’d like Samuel to use explicit language or not. If you change your mind later, simply go to the settings menu of the Alexa app to turn explicit content on or off.
ASK AWAY – After purchasing, try saying:
“Hey Samuel, what’s the weather?” “Hey Samuel, tell me a joke.” “Hey Samuel, set an alarm for 7am.” “Hey Samuel, tell me a story.” "Hey Samuel, what can you do?" “Alexa, ask Samuel to give me advice.” “Alexa, ask Samuel what he thinks of snakes.”
DOES MY DEVICE WORK WITH “HEY SAMUEL”? The “Hey Samuel” wake word works for most voice-activated Echo devices in your home, except first-generation Echo and Echo Dot and wearables. Fire TV and Fire Tablets will be supported at a later time. Once you turn on his wake word, Samuel will respond when you say his whole first name, “Hey Samuel”. Users without a compatible device can use “Alexa, ask Samuel”.
