Talking to Alexa feels a bit more stiff than the more forgiving Google Assistant, and Alexa isn't as good at keeping track of the subject of a conversation when you're giving multiple commands. It's gotten a bit better with updates, but you still need to keep in mind the correct terms and phrasing Alexa expects when asking her to dim the lights or set an alarm. While Alexa is useful, it isn't quite as casual as Google Assistant in terms of syntax and language. Alexa supports routines that control multiple devices with one custom voice command, like turning on the lights and giving you weather and traffic reports when you say "Alexa, good morning."

It will also display any timer you ask it to set, letting you watch it count down. If you ask Alexa for the weather, it will show the temperature outside. The LED display can show slightly more than just the time. It's a small change, but it's also incredibly useful, telling you the time without need to first ask for it.

The top of the Dot has the same four buttons (Alexa, microphone mute, and volume up/down) as the non-clock Dot, and the same four pinholes for the far-field microphone array.
