Understanding Echo Frames and Alexa Skills
Echo Frames are smart glasses that combine style with technology, allowing you to access notifications, make calls, and control smart home devices. Alexa Skills are voice-driven capabilities that expand the functionality of your Alexa-enabled devices. Linking these two enables you to use Echo Frames to control Alexa Skills directly.
