    • Problem “Alexa: Why do I need an air purifier?
    • Solution: “Alexa: What is the best air purifier?”
    • Search: “Alexa: I would like to buy an air purifier. What is available now?”
    • Investigation: “Alexa: Tell me more.”
    • Purchase: “Alexa: Buy it now.”

  • Delivery notifications from Alexa
    • “Your Dyson Air Purifier will arrive in 2 days.”
    • “By the way, an Amazon package will be delivered today containing a Dyson Air Purifier.”
