Amazon's Alexa can now create endless lists for you about anything and everything. From shopping lists to a list of TV shows you want to watch on Netflix, Alexa has you covered. So while her latest skill is a simple one, it's guaranteed to delight the list-maker in your life right now.

Some people are obsessed with making lists. This isn't a rare phenomenon either, so you probably have a list-maker in your life. That list-maker of yours has a new potential friend in the form of Alexa. Because Amazon's digital assistant is newly skilled at making lists of all kinds. Hurrah!

Alex Can Create Lists for Everything

Until now, Alexa has only been able to handle two lists: a Shopping list of things to buy on Amazon, and a To-Do list for chores. However, Amazon has now expanded this skill to enable Alexa to create lists for anything and everything. From the utterly mundane to the extremely bizarre.

All you need to do is say, "Alexa, create a list". Amazon's digital assistant will then ask you what you want to name this list, and once you have named it you can populate it however you like. You can also access your lists via the Alexa app, meaning you're not limited to using your voice.

The options are endless. You could make separate shopping lists for different stores. A list of things to pack for your next vacation. Christmas lists for every member of your family. A list of countries you want to visit before you die. And even a list of your favorite MakeUseOf authors.

According to TechCrunch, Amazon has expanded Alexa's list-making capabilities based on user feedback, as this was one of Alexa's most-requested features. Dedicated list-makers should also note that Alexa’s lists can be synced with third-party apps such as Any.do, AnyList, and Cozi.

Alexa Feeds Your List-Making Addiction

We have covered many of Alexa's new skills over the past 12 months. These include her ability to play baby-making music, to control Dish TV, to order takeout, to offer medical advice, and to recognize your family's voices. But Alexa's ability to make endless lists trumps all of these.
