There are 4000 skills that Alexa can do. I can even start my damn car with the thing. If you have any smart devices in your house you can make them voice enabled. I can control my lights(Hue)/thermostats(Nest)/Garage Door/etc all with my voice. I have Pandora and Spotify so I can also play any music I want. With all of my IFTTT triggers setup I can say one voice command and have my tv turn off, turn lights off and close garage door all without having to touch anything.

Spend a little time researching the skills and I am sure you will find that it can do all kinds of cool stuff.

That's not their aim at all, they're going to tell you to "be sure to drink your Ovaltine." Someone found a help wanted ad Amazon was running for maids that would basically clean your house and try and see what stuff they could sell you
