However, it is unclear if Alexa will bring any additional functionalities beyond automating the process of taking video messages and directing deliveries. The organization is also announcing a 'Quick Replies' feature, which should work on most of its doorbells without needing that subscription (though the company's cheapest doorbell, the USD 60 Ring Video Doorbell Wired, isn't getting that feature either). The feature allows one to pick a canned reaction, which means if a user wants to leave a particular message he/she can do it now.

There will also be replies that would let the person standing at the door know that the user will be there soon. Amazon is additionally bringing a motion warning to some of its doorbells and cameras, which will audibly tell anyone around that Ring is recording if it detects motion.

The new features will also provide an enable and disable the option to the users in case one wants to turn Alexa off for answering the door
