The Ambient was the first publication that noticed the rollout of Ziggy. The name Ziggy joins the growing list of wake words that Amazon has released, including Alexa, Computer, and Echo.
Amazon s Alexa is not specifically assigned with the feminine-sounding voice and Ziggy with the masculine-sounding voice. Users choose either of the voice options, and they can also select the wake words.
