圣路易斯大学(St. Louis University)是密苏里州首府四年制私立大学，它公布了一项在本月下旬开课前，在宿舍和学生公寓安装2,300个智能助理支持的Echo Dots的计划。

由亚历克斯发起的Echo Dots将设定回答100多个关于校园和学生活动的具体问题，例如图书馆的时间或即将举行的公开讲座的清单。

The program, the first of its kind in the nation because it will include every residence on the school's campus, is managed by Amazon's Alexa for Business and supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS),

该方案是全国第一种此类方案，因为它将包括学校校园内的每一处住宅，由亚马逊的Alexa商业公司管理，并由亚马逊互联网服务公司支持。

亚利桑那州立大学去年也尝试过类似的工程，2017-2018学年在工程学生工作空间安装了1,600个Echo Dots。

学校指出，那些对像阿莱克斯这样的聪明的助理感到私隐的学生，如果他们觉得不舒服，可以拔掉这个装置并在学年期间储存。
