Amazon Alexa gains ‘Brief Mode’ with less verbose remarks after doing simple tasks

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/homepod-amazon-echo.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>Recently, Amazon added (https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/09/amazon-alexa-follow-up-mode-homepod-dreams-about-this-feature/) a ‘Follow-Up Mode’ to its Echo line of devices, which allows users to repeatedly say commands to the assistant without saying “Alexa” again. The company even added a ‘feature’ (https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/07/lol-alexa/) where the Echo would laugh at you sporadically. Today, the tech-giant is adding a ‘Brief Mode’ which disables the chatter aspect of the Echo, and replaces it with a simple chime once a task is completed.</p>
