The most annoying thing about digital assistants is that you have to say a trigger word after every request, with few exceptions. Whether it be “Hey Siri”, “Ok Google”, or “Alexa”, it can become increasingly tiresome, especially if you’re trying to have a fluid conversation.

While this is a step in the right direction, it does not mean that Alexa will be able to answer multiple queries at once. For example, you can’t say, “Alexa, turn off the lights and lock the front door.” However you could break it up into multiple queries but not need to say the trigger word for the second command.
